Frequently Asked Questions
Why is my electric hot water not working?
If your electric hot water system has stopped heating, it could be due to a faulty thermostat, heating element, blown fuse or wiring issue. Sometimes sediment buildup inside the tank can also affect performance. It’s best to have a licensed electrician inspect your system — they can test components safely, identify the problem quickly and recommend whether a repair or replacement is the best option.
How long do electric hot water systems last?
Most electric hot water systems last between 8–12 years, depending on the model, water quality and how well they’re maintained. Regular servicing can extend their lifespan by preventing corrosion and catching small faults early. If your system is nearing the 10-year mark, runs inefficiently or needs frequent repairs, it’s often more cost-effective to upgrade to a new unit.
Can I replace an electric hot water system myself?
No — installing or replacing an electric hot water system requires a licensed electrician. Working with electrical wiring and water connections is dangerous without proper training. A professional ensures all wiring, circuit breakers and safety switches are compliant with Australian Standards, keeping your home safe and your warranty valid.
What size hot water system do I need?
The right size depends on your household’s water usage, number of occupants and daily routines. A small family might only need a 125–160L system, while larger households often require 250L or more. An electrician can help you calculate the right capacity, ensuring you never run out of hot water and don’t waste energy heating excess water you won’t use.
