Best Electric Water Heaters

Happy with the unit. Chose this one as it's able to be monitored and controlled with Tuya / Home Assistant, and has the powered anode for less… Read more

maintenance (with an additional backup). Being the lowest cost heat pump in this capacity range is just a bonus, not the key criterion.

Noise is acceptable out of the box, but I did change the settings to reduce fan speed and now it's barely audible.

Some feedback for improvement: - WiFi is tricky to reset if you change network name or it failed to connect the first time. I'm sure their support would help if contacted, but this procedure should really be added to the manual. Someone posted a video via Whirlpool that showed how to do it. - My unit arrived with a small cosmetic dent where the power plug was pressed against the unit in shipping, the factory packaging design / QC may need a look. My installer handled this well, brought it to my attention proactively and offered to either arrange a replacement unit, or to knock a bit off the cost on the spot.

Installed by Hotwater.com.au. Great experience with them, good communication.

Heating quickly. Affordable noise when heating. No wifi remote control is a bit regret. Others all good. Show details

Great upgrade to the electrical system for my townhouse. Steaming hot water! Show details

I cannot really overstate just how poorly this product has performed since we purchased it around 3 years ago. Here in S.E Queensland, throughout… Read more

most of the year when its above 30deg it works ok. Not that you really need much hot water during those 6 months of the year. Around mid may every single year. Every morning I hear "There is no hot water again". Every night "There is no hot water again" From my wife and two young kids.

For all the emails and phone calls I have made to try and rectify the problem. The only attempt to do so was to send a plumber out to reset some thermostatic something or rather in the software which did nothing at all.

The only way I have to ensure there is any hot water, is to go out twice a day and make sure it is forced into the on position in either hybrid or hybrid 1 mode.

The 15 year old Saxon this unit replaced probably didnt even get looked at twice in 15 years. Yet here I am baby sitting this POS appliance twice every single day to ensure the missus and kids can have a hot shower when they want one.

All these pics are after the system has run all day long consuming between 6-10kw/h. Considering the old system used around 9kwh per day and we were told this new system would be around 2.5kwh.....

The company that did the installation did a stellar job I might add, Could not fault their workmanship and they tried to assist as much as they could when we started having issues. But Im not going to continue wasting their time trying to rectify an issue with the product itself. The only real option we have going forward is to move to an IStore or go back to a traditional HWS.

We’ve always had Dux hot water systems we are very happy Show details

Very basic heat pump. Even though come with app to control the device. You can only turn on and off plus boost function. Very simple and not useful. Show details

I couldn't be happier with our new Reclaim 315L duplex stainless heat pump system. The design is exceptionally well thought out, but the real… Read more

standout is its efficiency. The unit draws very little power and runs incredibly quietly.

Thanks to the strong thermal insulation and excellent temperature layering properties inside the tank, the water stays piping hot right through to the next day. This makes it the absolute perfect match for a solar power setup—it just quietly heats up during the day using our own generated power and holds that heat effortlessly overnight.

Having the WiFi connectivity and the app to monitor exactly what is happening with the system is a really nice bonus, too. If you are looking for an incredibly efficient, well-engineered hot water heat pump, I highly recommend Reclaim. Five stars!

Matt was very prompt, reliable and efficient with his service and installation. Show details

We replaced our old electric hot water system with an Aether heat pump hot water unit and the difference has been noticeable almost straight away.… Read more

The biggest thing for us has been the reduction in power usage, it’s been good seeing lower running costs without sacrificing hot water.

The unit heats water consistently and we haven’t run out, even with multiple showers and appliances going. It’s also much quieter than I expected after reading about some other heat pump systems. You can hear it running outside, but it’s definitely not intrusive.

Overall, really happy with the purchase so far. If reliability holds up long term, I’d happily recommend it to anyone looking to move away from a traditional gas hot water system.

Very happy with the new heat pump, the installer has done professional work! Show details

dealer who isn’t available anyway - a requirement illegal under consumer law. Very disappointing for such an expensive product.

Apricus heat pump was installed in August 2025. Had no issues operates as expected, plenty of hot water. Show details

Good product and save a lot in my electricity bill Show details

Quick and effective installation well done and thank you very much.

efficient. First time I’ve looked forward to receiving an energy bill. Installed by JR Gas and Water who did a great job.

Absolute piece of junk lasted one year says 7 year warranty which is not worth anything as the company has gone bust do not buy or you will regret it Show details

Purchased a 420 2 weeks ago. It has operated flawlessly. It provides huge quantities of hot water. Our family of 6 has not stretched it. It is… Read more

also nice and quiet. We bought it due to capacity, top quality components (eg high grade stainless steel tank), long warranty and no need to replace anode every few years. Value for money is exceptional. We use our solar to run it so electricity cost is nil. Very happy with it.

A lot of people have issues with the Wilson Super x. They don't work well with modern outlets that restrict pressure . Restrictions and aerator… Read more

should be removed as these units work on water pressure to activate and stay on . Turn you hot on full and then adjust with your cold . If your still having issues the either your cold water pressure is to low or one of your electric phases is out or not producing at full capacity....

You're Rolling the Dice Here – I've seen a lot of these units (very popular) and the design and layout is very good - simple and elegant. The problem is the manufacture quality,… Read more

which Rheem don't seem to manage well. On mine the welding on the heater flange is VERY poor, causing it to fail and leak just on the 7 year warranty (I don't think 7 years is awesome for a tank with wires connected to it - I've had gas ones that have done 4 times that). So it's not inherently terrible - if you get one that was made by the good welder it would be great, but how would you know?

Excellent savings and operation – Have had one now for several months and have found it to be excellent. Has saved me heaps on hot water electricity bills. I have now also adjusted… Read more

the time settings on it so that it heats in the middle of the day, for when the peak heat of the day is available (eg drawing heat from the environment), and also so that our solar PV system generates power to cover its use. It seems to be very efficient.

The Haier Heat Pump heat the water to 55 degrees with its compressor in a very effective way. It consumes much lesser energy than by my old water boiler. Besides, I can use its ECO mode to set the preferred time of operations. Good value for money! Show details

Great unit but the manufacturer should have put better grids on the outer casing. We have lots of wasps that build clay nests to lay there… Read more

eggs/larvae around our house. They can easily enter through the grids on our new unit. It has only taken a few days and we can already see wasps visiting. We now have to buy and make a fly screen barrier to block them off

Great most of the time (but some quality control issues) – This heat pump water heater works well when it works but there are clearly quality control issues which affect the operation of the unit in the… Read more

Australian environment. This unit has failed twice - the first within the warranty period (a faulty seal and heating element) and the second just outside (but still covered by consumer law) being a faulty sensor.

The good news is the service department is responsive and they have a local plumber who can get to the unit quickly. But make sure you have those contact details handy. The first time this unit failed, it took three days for my plumber and the plumbing wholesaler to track down how to get repairs under way.

Note that my unit is now five years old. I hope that the current generation has addressed the quality issues.

Excellent water heater!!! – Hot water anytime, no noise at all, highly recommended for families. Show details

New hot water system installed 02/09/2025 and is going great so far with no issues. Recommended by plumber who has been amazing. Show details

Unit installed May 2024, no problems in the interim. Power usage fine since install, noise much quieter than prior unit...install was good at the time. Just had to lodge a service call as pressure valve not functioning last couple of days. Show details

Great service from these guys! – I have a MicroHeat heater that acts as a booster to our Sanden heat pump, since that heat pump is such a long way from our bathroom. It works really… Read more

well - gives near instant heat when we turn the shower on, then powers back as the Sanden hot water comes through. However, after 4 years it stopped working! I was worried since the stated warranty is only 3 years. But MicroHeat replaced the unit with no squabbles. A replacement unit arrived in the mail very promptly and they even covered the cost of the electrician and plumber! This is great service from a small Aussie company. Thank you guys!

Last week, our water heater stopped working, which caused us a lot of inconvenience. I placed an online order with JR Gas and Water, and this week we… Read more

were able to enjoy hot water again. They installed a Stiebel Eltron water heater, and the entire process was excellent. The online ordering was very easy and fast, and the price was reasonable. The installation was handled neatly and professionally, and I’m very thankful for their service. I sincerely recommend JR Gas and Water to others.

We are completely off grid, and this system has been brilliant so far! December marks two years in our new house, and despite my partner’s best… Read more

efforts, we have never run out of hot water yet! Our solar system consists of 42 panels and 2 lithium batteries, and even on dreary old days it keeps up with the system well. My hair super light blond hair showed some copper deposits from the water, so I contacted Reece about that. They put me in contact with their water specialist who called me straight away, asked all the right questions and came up with a great plan for me straight away. Super happy with the service and the system!

Ballina Hot Water Specialists installed this unit for us in Northern NSW. This review is more about the business than the system they installed… Read more

(that will follow). Ballina Hot Water Specialists were excellent from start to finish. Dane was clearly more concerned about me getting value for money than them making a profit. They made sure they extended the life of my old system as long as they could before replacing it. I cannot speak highly enough about them, their prompy response and support, clean and efficient work, everyhting we asked and hoped for and finished the job well inside the allocated time frame. Also, excellent pricing (and I was prepared to overlook any variance in return for the high service level, but they came in as Best value as well. If your in this area, look no further.
