Professional Electric Hot Water Systems in Adelaide
Electric hot water systems are hardwired appliances that connect directly to a dedicated circuit from your switchboard. Whether you are replacing a failed unit or installing a new system as part of a build or renovation, the electrical connection must be done by a licensed electrician. We install all major brands of electric hot water systems across Adelaide, including storage tank systems and instantaneous (continuous flow) models. We handle the electrical connection, switchboard work and testing, while your plumber takes care of the water connections.
When your hot water system fails, speed matters. Nobody wants to go without hot water for days. Our vans carry the cable, connectors, circuit breakers and testing equipment needed for most hot water system connections, so once the plumber has the new unit in place, we can get it wired up quickly. If the old system was on a suitable dedicated circuit, the electrical connection is straightforward. If you are upgrading to a larger unit or switching from gas to electric, we may need to run a new circuit or upgrade your switchboard to handle the additional load.
Electric hot water systems in South Australia can be set to run on a controlled load tariff, which is a cheaper electricity rate offered by SA Power Networks for appliances that operate during off-peak hours (typically overnight). If your system is eligible, we can connect it to a controlled load circuit, which reduces your running costs. We advise on this during the quoting visit and set it up if it is available at your property.

FAQs
Electric Hot Water Systems Questions
Common questions about electric hot water systems in Adelaide.
How quickly can you install a new hot water system?
The electrical connection for a hot water system typically takes 1 to 2 hours, assuming the plumber has already installed the unit. If a dedicated circuit is already in place from the old system, the connection is faster. If we need to run a new circuit, it takes longer. We prioritise hot water replacements because we understand how disruptive it is to be without hot water.
Do I need an electrician and a plumber for hot water installation?
Yes. The plumber handles the water supply connections, pressure relief valve and any pipework. The electrician handles the electrical connection to your switchboard, including the dedicated circuit, wiring and testing. Both trades are required, and both must be licensed. We coordinate with your plumber to minimise delays and get the system running as quickly as possible.
What is a controlled load tariff for hot water?
A controlled load tariff is a cheaper electricity rate offered by SA Power Networks for appliances that can operate during off-peak hours, typically overnight. Electric hot water systems are the most common appliance connected to this tariff. The power company controls when the circuit is energised, which means your hot water heats up overnight at a lower rate. We can connect your system to a controlled load circuit if it is available at your property.
Can you switch my hot water from gas to electric?
Yes. We handle the electrical side of gas-to-electric hot water conversions. You will need a licensed plumber to disconnect the gas supply and install the new electric unit, and we run a dedicated circuit from your switchboard and make the electrical connection. If your switchboard needs upgrading to handle the additional load, we include that in the quote.
What size hot water system do I need?
Hot water system sizing is based on your household size and usage. As a general guide, a 125-litre tank suits 1 to 2 people, 250 litres suits 2 to 4 people, and 315 litres or larger suits 4 or more people. Instantaneous systems are sized by flow rate rather than tank capacity. Your plumber will recommend the right size, and we ensure the electrical supply matches.
Do you provide free quotes for hot water system installation?
Yes. We assess your switchboard, check the existing circuit (if replacing), confirm the electrical requirements for your new system and provide a clear written quote. The quote is free and obligation-free. If you are coordinating with a plumber, we are happy to liaise with them to keep the project moving.
