Buying an electric hot water heater

Competitive prices. Free delivery. Expert advice.

Electric hot water systems are a popular choice for Australian households due to their reliability, affordability, and ease of installation. Available in a wide range of sizes, they suit apartments and townhouses, through to large family homes.

Electric hot water systems can use electricity generated by your rooftop solar PV panels to help reduce running costs. A suitable timer or hot water diverter can help align water heating with available solar power.

Our electric hot water system installation process

1. We help you choose the right system.
We assess your household’s current and future hot water needs, installation requirements and budget. Whether you’re replacing an electric system or switching from gas or rooftop solar hot water to electric, we explain suitable options, purchase prices, installation costs and expected running costs.

2. We discuss solar power and upgrade options.
If you have rooftop solar PV panels, we can arrange a suitable setup so your new electric hot water system uses solar-generated electricity. We can also explain eligible rebates if you’re considering a heat pump instead of a conventional electric system.

3. We arrange installation and free delivery.
We book a convenient time and arrive onsite with your new electric hot water system ready to install. Delivery is free throughout Sydney.

4. We disconnect and remove your old system.

Tips when buying a new electric hot water system.

A lower price can be appealing but in the long term, quality, efficiency and reliability will matter most. 

If your water heater has stopped working or you’re regularly running out of hot water, you may need a replacement quickly. Even when time is short, choosing the right system can make a difference to your comfort and ongoing costs.

With so many brands and tank sizes available, it can be difficult to know which option best suits your household. Our hot water specialists help you compare purchase prices, installation costs and expected running costs, so you can make an informed decision within your budget.

Replacing your old system doesn’t necessarily mean choosing the same make, model or tank size. We assess your current hot water use and any expected changes, such as a growing family, to recommend suitable options.

Whether a similar replacement is the best choice or another system offers better value, we’ll explain your options and help you choose reliable hot water for the years ahead.

How we determine your electric hot water usage requirements

Factors we will consider to determine your electric HWS requirements include:

  • Number of adults and ages of any children in the home (teenagers typically use more hot water than young children),
  • Number of bathrooms,
  • Number of people who need to use bathrooms at the same time,
  • Any dishwashers and washing machines that use hot water at the same time,
  • Will there be the need to fill a large bathtub or spa?
  • The location of your property as climate and water pressure can determine what electric hot water system is best suited to your region.

With more than 30 years of experience, our qualified hot water installers can recommend a suitable system and tank size to balance hot water capacity, upfront cost and ongoing running costs.

There is no single tank size that suits every four-person household. The right capacity depends on how much hot water you use, when you use it and when your system can reheat.
