Winter · November – February
Storage geysers (10–35 litres) heat a tank of water once and hold it. Instant geysers (1–5 litres) heat water on demand as it flows. The choice depends on use pattern, not brand marketing.
Rates from Solve24 plumber and electrician listings. Metro rates top-of-range, Tier-2 cities bottom.

A ₹500–₹1,200 install should cover all of the below. If the plumber quotes lower and skips items, expect leaks or unsafe electrical within 6 months.
Book install by first week of November. Once nights drop below 15°C in mid-November across north India, demand triples and rates rise 20–30%.
Solve24 plumbers quote install on WhatsApp with the wiring separate (electrician). Total for a fresh install with new wiring: ₹1,500–₹3,500. Commission-based apps typically bundle at ₹3,500–₹5,500 for the same scope because of platform markup.
Every plumber on Solve24 lists directly — no platform commission on the job. See real reviews, agree the rate on WhatsApp, and pay them directly.
₹500–₹1,200 for a standard storage geyser install. Add ₹800–₹2,000 if new 15A wiring is needed. Instant geyser install is ₹400–₹900.
15–25 L storage geyser is standard. Add a 3 L instant in the kitchen if hot water is often used for dishwash. Total cost: ₹8,000–₹15,000 for both units plus install.
First week of November across north India. In south India, December is fine (colder waters only from mid-Dec). Peak-season installs cost 25–35% more.
Storage is more efficient for shower use (heats once, holds). Instant is more efficient for occasional short use (hand wash, dishwash). Do not use instant for full bath — it takes 15+ minutes to fill a bucket.
Only with proper ventilation and a certified installation. Gas geysers must be in a ventilated bathroom / kitchen with an exhaust fan running. Carbon monoxide risk is real if ventilation is inadequate.
