With regards to quality Electric Tanks, you can’t beat the Rheem tanks. Their smaller 47 Litre Compact & 50 Litre both come with a market leading 7 year cylinder warranty. Depending on when you call and taking manufacturer price rises into account, you can get a supply, install and take away for between $699 – $799*.
The larger Rheem 491 series range from 80 Litre to 400 Litre. The 80 Litre and 125 Litre are for most often found in apartments & villas, whereas the 250, 315 & 400 Litre tanks are for houses. Prices for supply, installation & removal range from $925 – $1995*. The twin element range are more expensive due to their extra components in construction. For all your Electric Hot Water Sytem Prices queries, please contact our friendly staff on 1800 633 920
**A High-Performance Tempering Valve also needs to be installed (at an extra cost) if one does not already exist.
