The Benefits of an Electric Hot Water System
Energy efficiency: Electric hot water systems have come a long way in terms of energy efficiency. They now boast excellent insulation and advanced heating elements, minimising heat loss and ensuring that the water stays hot without wasting energy.
Cost-effective: When it comes to upfront costs and installation, electric systems are often more budget-friendly compared to their gas or solar counterparts. This can make them an attractive option for homeowners looking to save on initial expenses.
Easy installation: Electric hot water systems are relatively easy to install, especially if your home is already equipped with an electric power source. This can reduce installation time and costs. Unlike gas systems, you don’t need a connection to natural gas or LPG gas tanks. Nor do you need solar panels. An electric water heater has low running costs and new electric models will reduce your electricity bills.
Safety: Electric systems eliminate the need for potentially dangerous gas connections, making them a safer choice for many households. There are no venting requirements and you won’t have to worry about gas leaks or combustion-related accidents.
Environmentally friendly options: Many electric hot water systems now offer eco-friendly models that are energy-efficient and have a lower carbon footprint, reducing your greenhouse gas emissions and your impact on the environment.
Consistent hot water: Electric systems provide a steady supply of hot water, ensuring you never run out, even during peak usage times. They suit a large household size and are generally regarded as more reliable than gas storage systems.
An electric hot water unit can be a smart investment for your home. So, when it comes to your next hot water system, consider the many benefits of going electric.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions about Electric Hot Water Systems
What is the most efficient electric hot water system?
Unlike gas hot water systems, electric water heaters do not require star ratings for energy efficiency. Therefore, you will find choosing between brands like Dux, Rinnai or Rheem is based on personal choice. There is no easy way to compare efficiency.
If you are after efficiency and a reduced environmental impact, look to heat pump water heaters or solar power. Both units rely on renewable energy for high quality water heating.
What is the best electric hot water system?
There is no definitive answer when it comes to the best. In reality, the best electric hot water system for your home comes down to a number of factors. So when you are thinking about hot water, consider:
- How many people are using it
- Whether multiple people use hot water at the same time
- What household appliances need direct hot water
- How much water your household uses
- The local climate, i.e. is solar possible
- What budget you are working with
Are electric instant hot water systems expensive to run?
No, electric instantaneous water heaters are not expensive to run, especially compared to storage tanks. There are considerable savings as water is not being heated 24/7.

You can expect the average hot water unit to last between 8-12 yearsat least.A well maintained system, and in particular a continuous flow system, can last upwards of 15-20 years. Local conditions, maintenance and usage patterns will impact longevity.
