Electric hot water systems are being phased out from 1 Juanary 2010.  You can access a $600 - $1000 State Goverment rebate and a $600-$1000 Federal Government if you install a Heat Pump or Solar hot water system by a licenced Plumber.   To see if you’re eligible view the State Government Rebate and Federal Government Rebate scheme sites.

To install an energy efficient gas hot water system view if you’re in a reticulated gas area to determine if you can connect to gas mains or if you need to obtain stored gas.

Generally electric hot water systems have a life of 10 to 15 years.  You’ll know when yours is on the way out as it will start leaking.  Sometimes leaks occur from the cold water expansion valve or pressure valve, these valves are replaceable which can extend the operational life of your electric unit.
