When you think of hot water in the home, you want hot water that is constantly available, heats up quick, and ends up being something that you can set and forget. You can get this with an electric hot water system. Read on for more.

Electric hot water is one of the most common types of hot water systems in Australian homes but it is not the most environmentally friendly choice. To help offset this, you need to connect to off peak electricity wherever possible.

Electric hot water systems can be storage (the water is heated and stored in a tank until it is needed) or instantaneous (the water is heated on demand). To get the best results from your electric hot water system, you should make sure that it is the correct size for your family’s needs or just a little bit larger in order to cater for guests or times of unexpected heavy usage. The system should be placed as centrally as possible to all of the places in the house that use hot water.

There are many different brands of electric hot water systems available as well but a supplier will be able to take you through these.

You can obtain an electric hot water system through a specialist hot water supplier or a plumber will be able to source one for you. These suppliers can also install the system in a way that meets all warranty conditions. Make sure that the hot water supplier or plumber is fully qualified and licensed and has experience and history in working with electric hot water systems.
