What are the Benefits of Electric Storage Heaters?
As these heaters do not use any gas, there’s no chance of combustion or harmful gas elements leaking from a faulty flue. This makes an electric storage water heater a safer option than gas. That’s why these pumped heat electrical storage models are ideal for households with small children, the elderly, and pets. As they don’t require a flue system or burner, this also makes them more space efficient, which is why they’re a good option for smaller houses or apartments.
Depending on the source of your electricity, they’re also a very eco-friendly option. If you use solar panels, an electric hot water cylinder is a great option for using your surplus power instead of feeding it back into the grid. They’re also available in both traditional storage and continuous flow models, so there are a range of options out there to fit your water heating needs.
The team at Hot Water Solutions is happy to work with you to pick the right electric storage water heater for your home or commercial property.
What is an Electric Water Heater?
These heaters have a tank in which water is stored and heated. They usually have two elements submerged in a self-contained tank. Cool water entering the tank via its bottom activates the lower element. This then turns on and heats the incoming water. The hot water rises to the surface of the tank, and is then drawn out.
As they’re cheaper to install and maintain than non-electric systems, an electric storage water heater is often the go-to in a new build home or flat. They’re also the preferred solution where gas isn’t an option.

Electric water heaters are a popular choice for New Zealand homes. They’re relatively inexpensive to purchase and install, and they’re easy to maintain. Electric water heaters also offer a number of energy-efficiency features, which can help you save money on your energy bills.There are two main types of electric water heaters: storage and instantaneous. Storage water heaters heat water in a tank, and then dispense it as needed. Instantaneous water heaters heat water on demand, which means they’re more efficient than a storage water heater.
If you’re considering an electric water heater NZ for your New Zealand home, it’s important to choose the right type and size for your needs. You’ll also need to make sure that your electrical system can handle the extra load.
