Which Electric Setup Suits Your Place
Both electric options are simple machines, and the right one follows the house rather than the catalogue.
Storage cylinder
An element and thermostat heat the water, the tank holds it ready for the tap, and an off-peak tariff can do the heating overnight when rates sit lower.
Instant unit
Water heats only as it flows, so the shower never goes cold mid-wash, but the power draw is heavy and needs the right supply behind it.
No gas point, no problem
Where a house or unit has never had gas connected, electric is the straightforward path.
Tight spots
A slim cylinder suits a laundry niche or cupboard, which is how the newer unit blocks around here manage.
The Electric Install Step by Step
- 1
Kill the power and water
We isolate the supply at the switch and shut the water at the isolation valve before draining the tank.
- 2
Out with the old cylinder
The fittings come off, the tank drains fully, and it leaves with us as part of the job.
- 3
Position and connect
The new unit returns to its pad or wall bracket, and cold water feeds in through a fresh isolation valve.
- 4
Valves and heating
A new tempering valve holds tap water at 50°C, and the element goes back on its existing circuit.
- 5
Fill and prove
We fill the tank, check every joint, set the thermostat so stored water holds at 60°C to keep Legionella out, then show you the controls.

What an Electric Job Costs
Cylinder capacity
A bigger tank costs more, and the right size follows your morning's shower queue.
Access
A tank in an open laundry is a quick swap, while one tucked beneath a raised floor takes longer to reach and haul out.
Supply and circuits
Staying on the existing connection keeps things simple, and an instant unit's dedicated circuit is electrical work we cannot price for you.
Valves and fittings
A fresh tempering, relief or isolation valve is worth fitting while the tank is out, and old supply pipework sometimes needs an adapter to mate with the new unit.
Kedron Hot Water Services prices all of it up front.
Your hot water job is priced up front as a fixed quote, and no work begins until you've agreed to it. We work on flat-rate pricing with no hidden fees, and there's no extra charge for nights, weekends or public holidays. You can also fix now, pay later.
If the cylinder itself is finished rather than faulty, our hot water replacement page walks through that call, and a new install covers relocations and renovations.
Electric Cylinders in the Postwar Stock
Postwar streets were wired for the element
Houses thrown up from the 1940s to the 1960s got their electricity when an element tank was the default choice, and plenty still heat water the way they did at the switch-on.
Character rules hold the layout
Brisbane's pre-1947 protection covers many of the older homes here, so a renovation seldom moves the laundry, and a swap usually lands back on the original connections.
Newer flat blocks go compact
The units built in recent years run slim cylinders or instant units, because a cupboard-sized plant space decides the system rather than the household.
Ground-level access is the norm
Six in ten dwellings here are separate houses on the census count, so most electric swaps happen in an open laundry rather than a tight crawlspace. Kedron Hot Water Services works across all of it, from postwar cylinders to compact unit installs.
When We're Not the Right Call
The big dedicated supply behind an instant electric unit, any switchboard upgrade or fresh wiring is where we're not the right call: that work belongs to a licensed electrician, and we flag it while quoting rather than on install day.
Frequently Asked Questions
Call (07) 3522 5629Can a replacement electric tank stay on its Energex off-peak supply?
Yes, a swapped element or cylinder stays on the off-peak connection it already had, and only a brand new circuit sends the wiring to a licensed electrician rather than our plumbers.
How big should an electric tank be for a four-bedroom Kedron home?
Census figures put 27.4 per cent of local dwellings at four bedrooms or more, and a household drawing that hard in the morning usually wants a bigger cylinder than a flat needs.
Do the apartment blocks near Gympie Road run compact electric units?
They do, because apartments made up 30.0 per cent of homes here at the census, and a slim cylinder or wall-hung unit fits a laundry niche a full-size tank never could.
Does the water from Urban Utilities affect an electric tank?
Sediment builds on the element whatever the supply, and a tank that rumbles while heating usually wants a flush or a new element, which we can confirm on site before quoting.
Is replacing an electric hot water tank licensed plumbing work?
It is, and our plumbing licence covers the whole swap, while fresh wiring or a switchboard change belongs to an electrician, something we name when the quote is written up.
