About Rheem

Rheem is an Australian hot water system manufacturer with over 80 years of expertise in water heater design, installation, and maintenance. This well-established company also has a network of service agents across Australia and an impressive range of hot water systems, including electric, solar, and gas systems.

How Electric Hot Water Systems Work

Most electric hot water systems contain a water storage tank and electric heating elements. Unlike gas or heat pump systems, electric hot water systems draw from your power supply. As cold water heats up in the storage tank, it moves upwards and out into your plumbing. All electric hot water systems have a thermostat and pressure sensor for your safety.

Advantages and Disadvantages of Electric Hot Water Systems

The benefits of an electric hot water system include:

• * Low upfront costs

• * Quick installation time

• * Reliable based on the power supply

• * Controlled load tariffs to save your energy bill

• * Interior or outdoor installation

The downsides of installing an electric hot water system include:

• * Expensive over the long term, especially if heating with daytime tariffs

• * High greenhouse emissions if connected to a non-renewable power source

• * A bigger capacity system is necessary for off-peak heating, which may exceed your installation budget
