Electric Hot Water on Demand

Electric storage hot water systems are the simplest and most widely used systems in Perth homes – a well-insulated tank, an electric element, and dependable hot water day after day. They suit homes without gas, pair well with off-peak tariffs and rooftop solar, and are quick to replace like-for-like. Perth Complete Electrical supplies and installs electric storage systems, removes old units, and diagnoses faults. Prices are quoted for a standard installation, with any additional work priced and approved before we begin.

PERTH COMPLETE ELECTRICAL

Why Choose Electric Storage Hot Water

Electric storage remains a practical, affordable choice – especially for homes without a gas connection.

Works in Any Home

No gas connection required - just a suitable circuit from your switchboard, which we install and certify as licensed electricians.

Off-Peak Tariff Savings

Tanks can heat overnight on cheaper off-peak rates, cutting running costs without changing how you use hot water.

Solar-Friendly

With a timer or solar diverter, your tank can soak up excess rooftop solar during the day - effectively free hot water.

Simple & Reliable

Fewer components than gas or heat pump systems means fewer things to go wrong and straightforward, affordable repairs.

Indoor & Outdoor Options

Available in sizes and formats for outdoor pads, garages, laundries and tight utility cupboards.

Fast Like-for-Like Swaps

When an old electric tank fails, a same-size replacement is usually the quickest way to get hot water back on.

As electricians, we handle the whole job – tank, wiring, circuit protection and certification – with one team.

Licensed and Qualified

Every job is carried out by fully licensed Perth electricians you can trust.

Workmanship Guaranteed

We stand behind our work for life, so you only pay for it once.

100% Solutions Focused

Whatever the problem, we don't leave until you have a safe, working fix.

Fast Local Response

Perth-based team on the road daily, with same-day service for urgent faults.

PERTH COMPLETE ELECTRICAL

Choosing the Right Electric Storage System

We help you weigh up the options before recommending a unit.

Tank Size

From 50L under-bench units to 250L+ family tanks - sized to your household so you neither run out nor pay to heat water you never use.

Tariff & Timing

We advise whether off-peak heating, a timer, or daytime solar heating will give you the lowest running costs.

Element & Thermostat Rating

Correct element sizing and thermostat settings balance recovery speed, running cost and scald safety.

Location & Connections

We assess placement, drainage and the electrical circuit - and upgrade wiring or switchboard protection if the new unit needs it.

Thinking about a heat pump instead? We can talk you through whether the extra upfront cost stacks up for your household.

We had a large job that required quite a bit of digging in our front yard and also under pavers. Dylan came out on time, did an excellent job and was absolutely lovely to speak to as well. Very professional service. Can recommend.

I couldn't be happier with the service from Perth Complete Electrical. The whole team was professional, friendly and incredibly easy to deal with from start to finish. Their workmanship was outstanding, they turned up when they said they would and everything was completed to a very high standard. It's hard to find a company that genuinely cares about its customers, but the team at Perth Complete Electrical went above and beyond. Their communication was excellent, they left everything clean and tidy, and nothing was too much trouble. I highly recommend PCE to anyone looking for reliable, high-quality electrical work. I'll definitely be using PCE for all of my electrical work in the future. Thanks again to the entire team!

Arrived on time. Both very polite and considerate. Good at asking questions to understand the future task for which I needed a quote, then clearly explained the complexities. Got after the job to be done that morning, persisting to make sure it was all working when they left. Very satisfied.

We had Perth Complete Electrical out to fix a faulty air‑conditioning zone motor and to service the entire AC system. They were on time, professional, and incredibly thorough. The technician took the time to explain what was wrong, what needed to be done, and made sure everything was working perfectly before leaving. The attention to detail and quality of work were outstanding. Our AC is running better than it has in years. Highly recommend Perth Complete Electrical for anyone looking for reliable, honest, and skilled electrical and air‑conditioning service

Contacted PCE to install RCDs and smoke alarms at a residential address. Communication was excellent and the job was completed professionally and in a timely manner. The service definitely exceeded expectations. The whole experience was very positive and based on this I would highly recommend PCE.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does an electric storage system last?

Typically 8 to 12 years. Tanks in areas with harder water may wear sooner. If your tank is over ten years old, budgeting for a replacement before it fails avoids an emergency call-out.

What size electric tank do I need?

As a guide: 125L suits 1-2 people, 160L suits 2-3, and 250L suits 3-5 people on off-peak heating. We confirm sizing based on your household and tariff before quoting.

Why is my electricity bill high with an electric tank?

Older tanks lose heat through worn insulation, and continuous-tariff heating costs more than off-peak. A newer, better-insulated tank on off-peak or solar-timed heating can cut hot water running costs significantly.

My hot water keeps tripping the breaker - what does that mean?

Usually a failing element or water ingress into the element flange. Stop resetting the breaker repeatedly and have it inspected – we test the element and wiring safely and repair or replace as needed.

How long does a replacement take?

A like-for-like swap is normally done in two to four hours, plus time for the new tank to fill and heat. If wiring or switchboard upgrades are needed, we let you know up front as part of the quote.

Can my electric hot water run off solar power?

Yes. With a simple timer, or a dedicated solar diverter, your tank can heat during the day using excess solar generation – one of the best-value ways to use the power your roof already makes.
