ELECTRIC HOT WATER SYSTEMS

ABOUT ELECTRIC HOT WATER

Electric hot water systems are the most common type of hot water systems in existing houses, however due to their large electricity consumption the Australian government has banned their installation in new builds or houses with natural gas connected to the property.

Electric hot water systems work similarly to a kettle, wherein an electric element simply heats the water for home use. They are available in a storage unit where the hot water is kept in a large tank at between 60-80°C ready for distribution, or instantaneous model where the water is heated by the electric element as it flows through the system giving a continuous stream of hot water. The instantaneous models however are a lot less common due to their excessive electricity consumption above that of even an electric storage unit.

PROS AND CONS

PROS

Low upfront costs (where available for direct replacement)
Connects to a cheaper overnight tariff
High system warranties
Low maintenance
Flexible installation (indoor or outdoor)

CONS

High usage costs
Not available for any government rebates
Cannot be installed in new builds or homes with natural gas connected
Not energy efficient

OUR RECOMMENDATIONS

Electric storage hot water systems are best suited for a cheap and easy replacement option that require little maintenance. The trade-off for this is higher usage costs.

We don’t recommend installing electric instantaneous systems but for very specific situations such as a small business with few hot water taps. If you think this may be right for you feel free to give us a call and we can discuss your best options.

We were delighted with the prompt and professional support displayed by Mark and his team. He provided an honest assessment of our requirements and the installation of our Haier Heat Pump was faultless which is more than could be said of the gas system it replaced

Completely professional crew that installed our new iStore water heater, gave the overview we needed to get oriented to the owner's manual. They were able to find ways to make a difficult location work safely when other companies couldn't.

Response from the owner:Thank you for sharing your positive experience with us Mike. We're so glad we could help and will be happy to assist if you are in need of a system in the future :)

New Haier 330L heat pump installed at a good price to replace an old gas unit. It runs from our solar system and we have removed the gas connection at the meter, meaning we no longer need to pay for a gas service charge. The guys turned up on time, had it installed in a few hours and die a nice neat job, and although the unit itself looks a bit like a Dalek it sits behind a fence where nobody will see it.

Response from the owner:Thanks so much for taking the time to share your experience, Craig. We're glad the installation went smoothly and that you're already seeing the benefits of switching from gas to a heat pump. We hope you enjoy the savings for years to come!

Reached out to replace our water heater since the old one broke down. Right now definitely not the best time for a hot water heater break down under this chilly weather. These guys were prompt to reply, gave us quote with great transparency and patiently replying our enquiries. Superb communications! Quote was reasonably priced, they recommended the heater that’s suitable for my household usage, and the job was done efficiently and neatly. Really delighted with the new water heater and the staff professionalism. Can’t recommend enough to anyone who’s looking for professionals over water heater issues.

Response from the owner:Thank you so much for your detailed review! We know losing hot water during cold weather is never ideal, so we're glad we could get everything sorted quickly and make the process as smooth as possible. We really appreciate your recommendation.
