Immersion Element Electric Hot water Heaters
The most common type of electric hot water system heats water via an immersion element which draws power and transmits the heat into the hot water tank. These systems have a surface mounted thermostat which controls the temperature within the tank. This type of hot water system can heat the water via a direct circuit which will heat the water whenever required. The tariff is generally around .36c per KW.
The alternative to this is to heat the water on the off-peak tariff which is much cheaper at around .15c per KW. However, this is only available at night between 11pm and 6 a.m. This means that a larger tank is required to store the heated water and supply the needs of the household until the next heating cycle on the following night. This style of hot water system is available with a single element for general-purpose domestic needs and twin elements for higher domestic demands and commercial applications.
Electric hot water systems all have a 12-month parts and labour warranty, and the tanks can either have a 5 or 10 year warranty. Electric hot water systems are generally the most expensive way of heating water and other alternatives such as gas and solar have much cheaper running costs.

Do You Need Electric Hot Water Replacement in Adelaide?
If your current electric hot water unit has stopped working or is very old, it may be time for a replacement. But there are some rules in South Australia that you need to know.
Do you Have Gas at Home?
If your home already has a gas connection, you can’t replace your old electric hot water system with the same type again. But that’s okay — there are better, smarter options that can save you money and energy.
At SA Hot Water™, we recommend choosing one of these energy-efficient systems:
A 5-Star Gas Hot Water system – great for quick heating and lower energy bills.
A clean and green Solar Hot Water system – powered by the sun to help you save more every day.
A smart Heat Pump Hot Water system – perfect for homes wanting big savings and less carbon pollution.
These systems don’t just use less power — they also help you protect the environment. Even better, you may be able to get special rebates and discounts for choosing one of these eco-friendly options.
System Inside the Roof Space?
Suppose your electric hot water system is inside the ceiling or roof space. In that case, you can replace it with a new hot water electric system – as long as it is not bigger than 250 liters. It is a special rule for Adelaide homes.
You may still get rebates if you choose a more energy-efficient model like solar or heat pump.

How Much Does an Electric Hot Water System Cost?
The cost of electric hot water systems can change depending on the model and size. But the real cost also includes how much you spend each year on energy.
Let’s look at two options based on a 200L system:
Type Yearly Cost CO2 Emissions
Off-Peak Electric System $730 3.08 tonnes
Direct Tariff Electric System $1807 3.08 tonnes
As you can see, off-peak systems are much cheaper to run. However, both still use more power than gas, solar, or heat pump hot water systems.
If you’re trying to save more money over time, check out our Heat Pump Hot Water systems or Bosch Hot Water for great performance and savings.

What size electric hot water system do I need for my home?
Deciding on the correct size will depend on household size and your daily hot water use. Usually, a small family would be fine with a system from 160 to 200L, and bigger families would require at least 250L. You can rely on our team to guide you in choosing the perfect size item.
Can I replace my old electric hot water system with the same type?
You may not be permitted to switch to an electric system if your home is linked to gas (using those methods). As a result, consider gas, solar or heat pump hot water systems. Installing an electric system won’t require gas, provided the size and placement are suitable for your needs.
How long does it take to install a new electric hot water system?
Most of our electric hot water installations in Adelaide are completed on the same day. If everything is ready and safe, installation usually takes a few hours.
Are electric hot water systems expensive to run?
Electric systems can be more costly to run than other options, especially on direct tariffs. Off-peak electric systems are more affordable but may not always provide hot water during peak times. Heat Pump Hot Water or Solar Hot Water systems are often cheaper in the long run.
Do I qualify for government rebates if I upgrade my system?
Yes, many homeowners in Adelaide may qualify for rebates when upgrading to an energy-efficient hot water system such as a solar or heat pump unit. Our team can guide you through rebate applications and eligibility.
