Long-Term Value & Easy Maintenance
The Versatile Option
Electric hot water systems heat water inside an insulated storage tank using internal heating elements. These elements activate automatically as water cools, maintaining a constant temperature so you always have hot water ready to go. Many models also feature off-peak settings, helping homeowners save money by heating water during low-tariff electricity periods.
Because electric systems don’t rely on gas connections or pilot lights, they’re suitable for almost any home. They’re also quiet, low-maintenance and available in internal and external configurations — making them versatile for renovations, replacements or new builds.
Routine checks include inspecting thermostats, anodes and elements to prevent corrosion or temperature inconsistencies. A well-maintained unit not only provides consistent water temperature but also lowers running costs and extends lifespan.
FAQ
Everything You Need To Know
How does an electric hot water system work?
Electric systems use one or more heating elements inside a tank to warm stored water. Once the water reaches the set temperature, the thermostat turns the element off until the temperature drops again. The insulated tank helps retain heat, ensuring hot water is always available when you need it.
Are electric hot water systems expensive to run?
Running costs depend on the size of the system, your energy plan and water usage. Electric systems connected to off-peak tariffs are often cheaper to operate. Upgrading to modern, energy-efficient models with better insulation and thermostatic control can significantly reduce energy consumption and lower household bills.
Can I switch from gas to electric hot water?
Yes. Many homeowners choose to switch when they don’t have access to gas or prefer the simplicity of an electric setup. A licensed plumber can remove your existing system, cap the gas line if needed, and install a compatible electric unit with proper wiring and circuit protection. It’s an efficient and straightforward upgrade when handled by professionals.
