Electric storage uses a simple, proven process to keep a tank of hot water ready whenever you need it. Here’s how the system delivers dependable hot water 365 days a year.
Cold mains water flows into the bottom of a well-insulated cylindrical tank, ready to be heated to your set temperature.
An electric heating element immersed in the tank warms the water. Once it hits the set temperature, the thermostat switches the element off.
The insulated tank holds the heated water at temperature, ready for showers, dishes, and laundry on demand at strong, even pressure.
When hot water is drawn, cold water replaces it from below. The thermostat re-energises the element to maintain the supply.

Got questions about electric storage hot water systems in Perth? Here are the things our customers ask most often.
The primary difference is how each one heats water. Storage systems heat and store water in a tank, ensuring hot water is available on demand. Instant (continuous flow) systems heat water as it flows through the unit, providing unlimited hot water with no tank. Storage is typically more affordable upfront and pairs well with off-peak tariffs. Instant systems can offer running-cost savings over time thanks to on-demand heating. We help you compare the two during the free site assessment.
Electric storage hot water systems typically last between 10 and 15 years, depending on the quality of the system and the level of maintenance. Regular servicing, including replacing the sacrificial anode and checking the thermostat, can extend the lifespan of the system even further.
To keep your electric storage hot water system running efficiently, we recommend a professional service every 12 months. This includes checking for leaks, testing the pressure and temperature relief valve, inspecting the heating element and thermostat, and replacing the sacrificial anode when needed. Perth’s hard water can cause limescale build-up that reduces efficiency and shortens tank life, so periodic flushing is especially important to prevent it.
System size depends on household size, hot water usage, and your electricity tariff. We supply electric storage tanks from 50L through to 160L, suiting compact homes, units, single bathrooms, and small to mid-size households. As a general guide on continuous tariff: a single occupant or studio suits 50L-80L, a 1-2 person household suits 80L-125L, and a 2-3 person household suits 125L-160L. We confirm the right size during the free site assessment.
Yes, often noticeably. Off-peak tariffs charge a lower rate for power used overnight. Because electric storage tanks heat the water and store it ready for the day, they’re well-suited to off-peak heating. Households on an off-peak hot water tariff typically pay much less per litre of hot water than those on peak rates. Talk to your electricity retailer about availability and which off-peak product suits you.
Yes, electric storage systems are available in versions suitable for both indoor (laundries, garages, internal cupboards) and outdoor installation. We confirm the best location during the free site assessment, considering existing plumbing, electrical supply, and your preferences. Outdoor units come weatherproofed and sit unobtrusively against an external wall.
