Frequently Asked Questions
Can I install an electric hot water system myself?
No. Installing or replacing an electric hot water system must be done by a licensed electrician and often requires a plumber as well. Incorrect wiring or setup can lead to serious safety risks, void your warranty or breach legal requirements.
Do I need to upgrade my switchboard for a new hot water system?
It depends on the age and capacity of your switchboard. Older switchboards may not have the capacity or safety features required for modern electric hot water systems. In these cases, an upgrade will be needed to meet current standards and ensure safe operation.
What’s the best type of hot water system for energy efficiency?
Heat pump and solar hot water systems are the most energy-efficient, but electric storage systems are still common and effective for many homes. The right system depends on your energy usage, household size and available space. Speak with both an electrician and plumber to explore your options.
