{"title":"Electric Hot Water Systems","description":"\u003cp\u003eElectric hot water systems heat water with an electric element. They are a common choice in homes without a gas connection, and they are straightforward to install in many situations. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMost electric systems are storage units. A tank holds heated water ready for use, and a thermostat keeps it at a set temperature. Some systems can run on off-peak or time-of-use tariffs, which may reduce running costs depending on your electricity plan. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChoose the tank size to suit your household. A larger family needs more capacity than a couple, and the tank must fit the available space. Check the dimensions, the insulation and the energy information in the product details. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation must be carried out by licensed tradespeople. A licensed plumber connects the water, and a licensed electrician connects the power. A tempering valve is usually fitted to limit the temperature of water at the taps. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInsulation and placement affect performance. A well-insulated tank loses less heat, and placing it close to the main hot water outlets reduces waiting time at the tap. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBrowse the range to compare electric hot water systems, and choose one that suits your home. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow does an electric hot water system work? \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAn electric element heats water in a storage tank, and a thermostat keeps it at a set temperature. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat tank size do I need for an electric hot water system? \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt depends on household size and hot water use.
