Electric Storage Tank Maintenance and Upgrades
The residential landscape of Gordon is a mix of expansive multi-storey houses and modern apartments near the commercial hub. Many of the older homes in the 2072 postcode still utilise older electric storage tanks located in laundries or external cupboards. These systems work by heating water and storing it in a glass-lined or stainless steel tank. While reliable, older units often lack the insulation of modern energy-efficient models. We specialise in upgrading these aging systems with high-performing units from Rheem and Dux. When replacing a unit, we assess your peak usage to ensure the tank size matches your household needs, whether you are in a quiet cul-de-sac or a townhouse near St Johns Avenue. Prices for new electric storage units start from $900, providing an affordable entry point for homeowners.
Continuous Flow Electric Hot Water Solutions
For Gordon residents living in newer apartment complexes or smaller units, space is often at a premium. Electric instantaneous systems, also known as continuous flow electric heaters, provide a compact solution. Unlike storage tanks, these units heat water on demand as it flows through the internal element. This eliminates the standby energy loss associated with keeping a large tank hot 24/7. These systems are particularly common in professional suites and high-density housing near the Gordon Centre. We service and install dedicated 3-phase electric instantaneous heaters from brands like Stiebel Eltron, ensuring you never run out of hot water regardless of how many people are using the shower. Our technicians check your existing electrical capacity to ensure your switchboard can handle the load of a high-powered heater.
Reliable Repairs for Faulty Heating Elements and Thermostats
If your hot water has turned cold or you have noticed a significant drop in pressure, it doesn't always mean a full replacement is necessary. Many electric systems in Gordon suffer from failed thermostats or burnt-out heating elements. The hard water minerals can also cause sediment to settle at the bottom of the tank, reducing efficiency. At Infinity Hot Water, we carry a full range of genuine spare parts for Vulcan, Aquamax, and Rinnai systems. We can replace sacrificial anodes to extend the life of your tank by several years or swap out faulty pressure relief valves that are constantly dripping. Our local knowledge of the Upper North Shore water pressure zones allows us to calibrate your system for optimal performance and safety.
Energy Efficient Electric Options for Gordon Households
With energy prices rising in New South Wales, choosing an electric hot water system with a high energy rating is essential for long-term savings. Modern electric tanks feature advanced insulation and smarter thermostats that maintain heat for longer periods. For those looking for the ultimate in efficiency, we also offer heat pump technology, which uses an electric compressor to extract heat from the Gordon air. These systems, such as those from Sanden or Reclaim, use significantly less electricity than traditional element-based heaters. Our team can advise on the best positioning for these units in your garden or side passage to maximise airflow and minimise noise, keeping your leafy Gordon backyard peaceful while slashing your power bills.
Professional Installation and Safety Compliance
Safety is a priority when dealing with high-voltage electricity and pressurised water. Our licensed plumbers and hot water specialists ensure every installation in Gordon complies with AS/NZS 3500 standards. This includes the mandatory installation of tempering valves to prevent scalding by limiting the hot water temperature at the tap to 50 degrees Celsius, while still allowing the tank to store water at 60 degrees to prevent Legionella bacteria. We take care of the entire process, from disconnecting your faulty old unit to the final commissioning of your new electric system. We also provide a clean-up service, removing the old tank from your property and disposing of it responsibly. Whether you are located near the Gordon Golf Club or closer to Pymble, we offer prompt, professional service every time.

Frequently asked questions
What is the best electric hot water system for a large family home in Gordon?
In Gordon, we frequently recommend Rheem Stellar or Dux Proflo systems for families. These electric storage units are designed for high demand, ensuring that five-person households in the area's larger five-bedroom homes don't run out of water during the morning rush for school. We install energy-efficient models with high-density insulation to keep running costs down on standard tariffs.
How long should an electric hot water system last before needing replacement?
Most electric storage tanks last between 10 and 15 years. In the Upper North Shore, we often see older systems failing due to sediment build-up or sacrificial anode exhaustion. If your unit is leaking from the base or the water has a rusty tint, it is usually more cost-effective to replace the unit than to attempt a temporary patch.
Do you offer emergency electric hot water services in Gordon?
Yes, we provide emergency repairs and replacements for electric systems throughout the 2072 postcode. If your tank bursts on a weekend or after hours, we can usually have a temporary or permanent solution installed the same day. Our trucks carry common valves, thermostats, and elements for Rheem, Vulcan, and Dux systems to get your hot water back on immediately.
What is the typical cost for an electric hot water installation?
Installation costs for a standard 250L or 315L electric storage system in Gordon start from $900. The final price depends on the specific brand, the energy rating of the unit, and whether any valves or plumbing connections need to be upgraded to meet current NSW plumbing standards and Tempering Valve regulations.
