With such different options available on the market, it’s important to think about what you want and need from your electric hot water system before you buy. Heater systems come in various shapes and sizes, so thought should be given as to where they can be installed when making your choice. Considering how many people live in your household and how much water is used daily also helps to determine which electric water heater is right for your home. You should also keep in mind the climate you live in as some systems, for example, Air To Water Heat Pumps, are better suited to warmer climates.

How do I pick the best sized electric water heater for my home?

The most important factor when choosing the size of your electric water heater tank is how many people reside in your household as a cylinder that’s too small means water could be used up too quickly. On average, each person in Australia uses around 40–60 litres of hot water per day.
