How Electric Systems Work
The two types behave differently, and knowing which one is on your wall makes any phone call easier.
Storage tanks
heat water with an element, hold it in a cylinder and keep it above 60°C to discourage Legionella, with a thermostat setting the pace.
On-demand units
heat the water as it passes through, so the supply never runs dry, though they draw hard on the house's wiring while doing it.
Off-peak heating
is common here, with many tanks warming overnight during Energex's cheaper window, which is why a failed element can hide until the morning shower.
A tempering valve
blends the stored water down so bathrooms receive 50°C water at the hottest, no matter how warm the cylinder runs.
How an Electric Job Runs
- 1
Check and quote
We look over the old unit, the circuit it uses and where it stands, then put a fixed figure to you in writing.
- 2
Isolate and drain
Power off at the switch, water off at the isolation valve, and the cylinder emptied before anything is unbolted.
- 3
Fit the new unit
The tank or flow unit goes in with its element, thermostat, relief valve and pipework connected as licensed plumbing.
- 4
Fill and prove
We refill, watch the relief drain, check the tempering valve and run hot at a tap before we pack up.

Pricing an Electric Hot Water Job
The figure depends on what is on the wall now and what you want next, and Bray Park Same Day Hot Water quotes every electric job this way.
Tank versus on-demand
A cylinder and a flow unit are different jobs with different parts, so the choice sets the base of the quote.
Position and access
A unit squeezed down a side passage or sitting low on a slab takes longer to swap than one on a clear wall.
The electrical side
A straight swap reuses the existing circuit, but a bigger unit can outgrow the supply, and that call belongs to an electrician, not to us.
Valves
Worn relief or tempering valves on older units are usually renewed during the job, and that appears in the written figure.
We price your hot water job up front as one fixed figure, and you decide whether we go ahead. There are no hidden fees with our flat-rate pricing, no surcharge for nights, weekends or public holidays, and the option to fix now, pay later.
Electric Tanks Around This Suburb
The stock here is genuinely electric
Census figures put 3,496 dwellings in the suburb, 96.8 per cent of them separate houses, and building ran from the seventies into the nineties when electric storage was the default, so most units we attend are tanks on outside walls.
Age shows at the base
A cylinder that has already been swapped once tends to fail low down, where sediment and corrosion meet, and the first sign is often a damp patch on the paving beneath the unit.
Damp ground does the rest
The suburb sits clear of salt air, but the clay here holds water after storm-season rain, and Bray Park Same Day Hot Water checks the footing as well as the fittings on every visit, because a base standing in wet ground corrodes from the outside in.
When We're Not the Right Call
If a new on-demand unit needs more current than the house supply can deliver, or a breaker keeps tripping for reasons beyond the unit, that job needs an electrician, and Bray Park Same Day Hot Water will tell you straight rather than quote around it.

Frequently Asked Questions
Call (07) 3522 5629Why does an electric tank rumble in Bray Park?
That rumble is sediment settled on the cylinder floor, and on a tank that has heated these streets for years we carefully inspect the whole unit before calling the fault.
Does an electric tank still heat on Energex off-peak times?
Yes, many local tanks heat during Energex's overnight window, and a replacement element or thermostat keeps working inside that same window, and no fresh wiring or meter change is needed.
Where should a tank stand on a low block near Four Mile Creek?
We plan the position and footing against the council's flood mapping for the creek terrace, set the unit above any mapped flow path, and fold that work into the written figure.
Are instant electric units a fit for Bray Park's older houses?
Sometimes, though an on-demand electric model pulls harder than the wiring in many seventies and eighties homes was built for, so we have the supply checked before anyone orders hardware.
Does a tripped safety switch always mean a dead element?
No, a safety switch can trip for several reasons, yet repeated trips alongside cold taps usually land on the element or thermostat, which our plumbers can test and quote on the spot.
