Electric Hot Water Systems

Water heating systems are the second-biggest user of electricity in a home, falling only behind heating and cooling systems, according to the Department of Industry, Science, Energy and Resources. On average, a five-minute shower uses about 4,000 watts of electricity to heat the water.

Electric hot water heating systems by Rheem are among the most popular way for Australians to heat the water in their homes. Their electric storage water heaters store ample hot water in the tank for immediate use. Electric elements and a thermostat are used to heat and maintain the homeowners' preferred water temperature.

Advantages and Disadvantages of Electric Water Heaters

Fewer things are more jarring to the system than a surprise cold shower first thing in the morning. When you buy a Rheem electric water heater, it comes with a "same day hot water" guarantee. Customer calls for speedy service, repairs, and replacement will occur in the same day the service call is placed.

Other advantages of electric water heaters include:
  • Minimal upfront costs for purchase and installation
  • Energy efficiency
  • Safe to operate

There are a few disadvantages to electric water heaters, including a slower heating time than their gas counterparts and failure to operate during a power outage.
