Instant electric water heaters perform better in terms of continuous heating capacity, energy-saving effect, and water temperature stability, making them suitable for long-term hot water needs in households; Electric faucets are known for their fast heating, portability, and low cost, making them suitable for rental housing, temporary water use, and other scenarios. The following is a specific performance comparison:

1、 Heating speed and ease of use

Instant electric water heater: using high-power electric heating elements, it can quickly heat water flow and achieve instant heating effect. Heating can usually be started within seconds without waiting, meeting the modern demand for convenient and efficient hot water supply.

Electric faucet: It also has the feature of instant heating, and can output hot water within 3-5 seconds after being turned on. Some products can even achieve a 1-second heating speed. It is compact in size, easy to install, and can directly replace traditional faucets, suitable for environments with limited space.

2、 Power and consumption

Instant electric water heater: With high power, household products usually range from 5 kW to 12 kW, and some models even have higher power. High power ensures the ability for rapid heating, but it also means higher power consumption. However, due to its instant heating feature, it reduces the heat loss when hot water is idle, and the overall energy-saving effect is good.

Electric faucet: The power is relatively low, and the power of products on the market is roughly between 1 kW and 3 kW, with around 2 kW being more common. Although the single use power consumption is low, due to its small heating element, it may not be able to meet the demand for long-term continuous use of hot water. In addition, some argue that the power consumption of electric faucets is about twice that of instant electric water heaters, which may be related to usage habits and heating efficiency.

3、 Stability and adjustability of water temperature

Instant electric water heater: It can control parameters such as water temperature, flow rate, and power through circuits to achieve a temperature suitable for human sauna. Some high-end products also have a constant temperature function, which can maintain the stability of the outlet water temperature when the inlet water temperature and water pressure change.

Electric faucet: The water temperature regulation is relatively poor and may not meet the precise requirements for water temperature in scenarios. In addition, due to the small size of the heating element, it may not be possible to quickly heat the water to the desired temperature when the water flows too much or the inlet temperature is too low.

4、 Security

Instant electric water heater: usually equipped with multiple safety protection measures such as leakage protection plug, anti dry burning protection, and over temperature protection. Some products also use water and electricity separation technology to ensure safe use.

Electric faucet: equally emphasizing safety design, adopting measures such as double-layer isolation of water and electricity, voltage resistance testing, and leakage protection devices to ensure electrical safety. Some products also use optical ceramic technology to reduce electrical losses and improve safety.

5、 Applicable scenarios and costs

Instant electric water heater: suitable for household use, especially in scenarios that require long-term continuous supply of hot water. It has a compact size and saves space, but the installation cost is relatively high, especially for products that require specialized circuit support.

Electric faucet: suitable for renting, temporary water use, or environments with limited space. Its price is relatively low and installation is simple, but it may not be able to meet the demand for long-term continuous use of hot water.
