Rheem Compact 47L Electric Water Heater

3.6kW, providing efficient heating suitable for small households.

Recessed plugs sit flush with the unit’s surface, allowing a neater installation and helping the unit fit into tight spaces without obstruction.

Although rated at 40L, the Rheem Compact 47L delivers 47L of hot water, offering more capacity than its nominal rating.

Electric storage hot water systems typically last around 8–10 years, and longer with regular servicing and anode replacement.

An electric hot water system heats water using an electric element inside an insulated storage tank, keeping hot water ready for use — a simple, reliable and affordable option.

Standard electric is usually the most expensive to run, and gas is often cheaper. A heat pump is the most efficient electric option, using up to 70% less power than a standard electric system.

The cost of a new hot water system depends on the type and size. Electric storage systems are the most affordable upfront, while heat pump and solar systems cost more but save on running costs and may qualify for rebates.

As a guide, 1–2 people suit 125–160L, 3–4 people (a family of four) suit 250–315L, and larger households suit 400L. Continuous-flow gas units are sized by hot water flow rate instead. SunCity will help size the right system for your household.
