Electric Hot Water System

Why Electric Hot Water?

With electricity costs always rising, as well as its substantially negative impact on the environment, these electric hot water heaters are falling further and further out of favour.

But some manufacturers are putting time and resources into designing and producing much more high-efficiency models. Choose the right system, and you can lessen any concerns about excessive running costs.

If you like the sound of an electric hot water system and would like to discuss your options with a hot water systems expert, contact Metropolitan Plumbing.

Electric Hot Water Repair and Service

Your hot water heater system is one thing you never want to start malfunctioning, so it’s incredibly frustrating and annoying when it does.

Here at Metropolitan Plumbing, our hot water systems experts understand this, which is why they’ve all undergone the most comprehensive training and experience possible to make sure they’re ready for any and all repairs you need to be done to your heater.

Not only that, but they also have a huge selection of spare parts stocked in their vans at all times, making repair jobs quick and time efficient.

Available in both storage tank and continuous flow unit models, electric hot water systems use an electric element to generate the heat that’s transferred into your water supply. This is a very complicated appliance and is potentially dangerous if somebody who doesn’t know what they’re doing attempts to work on it.

Don’t take that risk. Contact Metropolitan Plumbing as soon as the problem arises, and we’ll have one of our hot water professionals at your door within an hour*.

The Difference Between Electric Storage and Continuous Flow Systems

Looking at a new hot water system and can’t decide between installing an electric-powered continuous flow system or a storage tank model? We’ll explain the differences between the two most common types of electric water heaters.

Electric instantaneous hot water systems ensure a hot water supply on-demand, activating once the hot tap is turned on. They provide a consistent hot water source without the need for storage, making them efficient for those wondering about how much hot water they use. However, an instantaneous system might struggle to deliver consistent temperatures when multiple outlets are used simultaneously, sometimes resulting in unexpected cold water.

On the other hand, electric storage hot water systems store and continuously heat water in a tank. This guarantees a reliable hot water flow, even for multiple outlets. But, there’s a risk of using up all the stored hot water, and the constant heating can see your electricity bills increase.

Looking to Switch From Electric Models?

Of course, if you’re looking to replace your existing electric water heater with a more energy efficient option that offers low running costs, we can explore alternatives such as solar water heaters and hot water systems powered by heat pumps. These options will help you to save energy and can accommodate any household size. It’s important to note, though, that while the purchase price may be higher, in the long run they will help you save significantly on your energy bills.
