Types of Hot Water System for Installation in Adelaide
Electric Hot Water Systems
As the name suggests, electric hot water systems run on electricity and are a popular choice for many Adelaide homes. They are typically more affordable to install, making them an attractive option upfront. However, it is important to consider that they can cost more to run over time due to electricity prices.
These systems heat and store water in a tank, ready for use when you need it. Tank sizes can range from around 25L up to 400L, so there is an option to suit households of all sizes.
These heat water on demand, meaning you only use electricity when you need hot water, without storing it in a tank.
Electric storage systems use an internal heating element to warm the water inside the tank. While they are still found across Adelaide, their popularity has declined in recent years as energy costs rise and more households look for environmentally friendly alternatives.
For those looking to reduce running costs, off-peak systems are also available. These heat water overnight when electricity rates are lower. If you go this route, a larger tank is recommended to ensure you have enough hot water throughout the day, especially for bigger households.
