Dependable Electric Hot Water Systems

Turning on the tap in the shower or kitchen and receiving a constant supply of hot running water from our electric hot water system is something that many of us take for granted. That is, until that hot water stops running. 

If you’ve felt the hot water suddenly turn cold in the middle of your morning shower, your electric hot water system may be in need of a repair or even replacement. Or perhaps you’re trying to fill the kitchen sink with hot water and it’s coming out a murky brown. A service and clean is well overdue.

Whatever the task, Upside Down offers highly qualified and experienced plumbers to get your electric hot water service working at its very best. From maintenance and repair services to new installations and complete replacements, we can do it all.

Our plumbers and electricians are ready. We can often be on site within the hour* for emergency hot water repairs or late night installations. And with no additional after hours expenses you can rest assured that you'll have running hot water when you truly need it the most.

Expert Electric Hot Water Maintenance and Servicing

Electric Hot Water Systems FAQ

Do you have any questions about electric hot water systems? We’ve got the answers you’re looking for.

The simple answer is yes. In a household of 3-4 people you can attribute about $1000 from your yearly electricity bill to hot water. In comparison, the running costs from natural gas are about a third of the price while solar is even cheaper. However, you can save money by using hot water during off-peak tariff times.  A heat pump is a cost-effective electric option, using warm air to create hot water. It works best in warmer climates and is slightly noisier to run.

If your electric hot water heater is not producing hot water, it could be that one of the electrical elements needs to be replaced. While electric hot water heaters require less maintenance and do not break down as frequently as gas hot water heaters, it is possible for heating elements to malfunction. If in doubt, call a plumbing expert from Upside Down.

Yes you can. If you use solar panels already then your hot water system is likely benefiting from solar power right now. It can be a drain on your solar output, however. If you’re looking to make the switch, a specific solar hot water system would be a stronger option than hooking up an ageing electric unit.  A new model comes with specific panels which are dedicated to powering your heater.

There could be several reasons why water from your electric hot water system smells.
  • A burning smell can be caused by a build-up of dust, surrounding insulation/rubber or an electrical fault.
  • A sulphur-like odour in the hot water itself would be the result of bacteria in the water and may well be paired with discolouration.
If there are any signs that something is wrong with your electric hot water system, don’t hesitate to call an Upside Down plumber today.
