Why Choose an Electric Hot Water System?

Electric hot water offers several advantages, making it a practical choice for many households. Whether installing a new hot water system or replacing an outdated one, we can guide you through selecting the right one for your home. These systems provide:

Consistency

Electric units deliver a continuous supply of hot water, ensuring no one in the family gets stuck with a cold shower.

Flexibility

Whether you prefer a traditional storage hot water system or an instantaneous hot water system, electric options cater to different preferences and household sizes.

Energy Efficiency

Modern electric systems, such as heat pump heater systems, use advanced technology to minimise energy consumption and reduce power bills.

Types of Electric Hot Water Systems

Local Plumbing & Gas Co. offers various hot water systems to meet your home’s specific requirements. Our same day service ensures that your new hot water system is installed quickly and efficiently, minimising disruption to your daily routine. Options include:

Electric Storage Hot Water Systems

This is the most common type of hot water system. It stores heated water in a tank, making it readily available when needed. With capacities ranging from small to large, these systems are ideal for households of any size.

Instant Electric Hot Water Systems

These instantaneous hot water systems heat water on demand, eliminating the need for a storage tank. Perfect for those looking to save on energy bills and reduce their carbon footprint, they ensure you never run out of hot water, no matter how many showers are taken.

Electric Solar Hot Water Systems

If you’re looking for an environmentally friendly option, consider electric solar hot water systems. They use the sun’s energy to heat water, with an electric booster to ensure you have hot water on cloudy days. This energy-efficient option is a great way to reduce your running costs.

Electric Heat Pump Systems

Electric heat pumps are another energy-efficient option. They use the heat from the air to heat your water, reducing the amount of electricity needed. Heat pump hot water systems are highly effective in warmer climates like the Gold Coast, making them a popular choice for hot water system replacement.

Electric Hot Water FAQs

The most efficient electric hot water heating system is the electric heat pump. Heat pump systems use significantly less energy than traditional electric storage systems by extracting heat from the surrounding air to warm the water. They can be up to 60-75% more efficient than standard electric water heaters, making them an eco-friendly and cost-effective choice in the long run. Although heat pumps may have a higher upfront cost, the savings in running costs can quickly offset the initial investment, especially for larger households.

For smaller households or specific needs, electric continuous flow systems are another efficient option. These systems only heat water when needed, rather than storing it, reducing overall energy consumption, though they are less common due to their higher installation requirements.

Electric instant hot water systems are generally less expensive to run than traditional electric storage systems, especially for smaller households. For example, running costs for an electric instant system can be around $395 per year, compared to $555 per year for an electric storage system​. However, for larger homes with higher hot water demand, running costs can rise to approximately $970 per year, which is still lower than storage systems​

Instant systems only heat water as needed, so they avoid the energy waste of constantly keeping a tank of water hot, making them a more efficient option. They are ideal for smaller households but can become less efficient for larger families with continuous hot water use.

For a more precise estimate, it’s best to consider your household’s size and water usage. Local Plumbing & Gas Co. can provide tailored advice and help you find the most cost-effective solution.

A 400-litre electric hot water system typically takes between 3 to 4 hours to fully heat, depending on factors like the power of the heating element (commonly 3.6 kW or 4.8 kW) and the initial temperature of the water. Colder water, especially during winter, will take longer to heat than warmer water. Systems with dual elements can reduce this time slightly by providing a “boost” during high-demand periods.

To optimise performance, ensure your system is regularly maintained to avoid sediment buildup, which can slow down heating times.

Electric systems typically last between 10 to 15 years. However, the actual lifespan depends on several factors, including the quality of the system, how well it’s maintained, and local water conditions. Regular maintenance, such as flushing the tank to remove sediment buildup and checking the anode rod for corrosion, can help extend the life of the unit. Neglecting these tasks, on the other hand, may reduce its longevity, leading to frequent repairs or the need for early replacement.

The lifespan can be longer for tankless or instantaneous systems, often reaching up to 20 years, with proper care and minimal wear on the system. Following the manufacturer’s maintenance recommendations is vital to get the most out of your hot water system.
