The Cost Of Rheem Hot Water Systems
Rheem hot water system prices vary depending on which type, model and size you choose to install. The system you ultimately choose should be the one that best caters to the hot water needs of your household – now and in the future. In addition, installing a Rheem energy-efficient hot water system can reduce your water heating energy consumption by up to 70%. This adds up to significant savings on your energy bills.
It’s also worth weighing up the initial cost to install a new Rheem hot water system as compared with the cost to run it in the long term. For example, a $2,000 electric system may be perfectly adequate for a single person but installing that same system in a large family household could cost many thousands of dollars extra in unnecessary running costs over the lifetime of the system.

Your Guide to Rheem Hot Water Systems
Rheem is a trusted name in hot water systems, offering Australians innovative water heating solutions that are reliable, energy-efficient and designed to last.
In this guide, you can compare Rheem hot water system types and models at a glance including:
Heat pumps are a smart, energy-efficient and cost-effective approach to water heating. They use the heat in the surrounding atmosphere, acting like a reverse cycle air conditioner ensuring homes have a steady supply of hot water. They use less energy than traditional electric water heaters and are eligible for federal and state government rebates and incentives. Hot water heat pumps work all year round, day or night, in sunshine or rain and even on cooler days, as there is heat in the atmosphere that can be used.
As a guide, a Rheem heat pump hot water unit usually costs between $3,200 and $4,900 to supply and install.

Rheem hot water systems make it easy to reduce your environmental impact. Solar systems can currently save up to 1.0 to 2.5 tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions per annum. Installing clean, renewable solar hot water is one of the simplest ways to dramatically cut your carbon emissions and contribute to a sustainable future.
Solar water heaters work by absorbing energy from the sun’s rays on the roof-mounted solar collectors and transferring it to heat the water stored in the tank. By using the natural power of the sun, a solar hot water system can benefit homes and businesses with energy savings for years after installation.
The Rheem solar range includes both split, ground-mounted and complete roof-mounted models in a variety of capacities from 180 – 410 litres. Rheem solar systems are available with electric or gas boosting, providing hot water during cloudy or rainy weather.

Continuous flow gas water heaters deliver hot water that will never run out because they heat water when you need it, for as long as you need it. Continuous flow water heaters work differently from storage water heaters, heating on demand rather than heating and storing water until needed.

For homeowners who prefer a minimalist look or are short on space, Rheem continuous flow water heaters can be neatly hidden away. The unit can even be recessed into your wall.

Choosing the Right Rheem Hot Water System for Your Home
The Rheem hot water system you choose will depend on where you live in Brisbane, which way your roof faces, and even the pitch of your roof. If you’re unsure, chat with your local Rheem plumber about which hot water system is ideal for you.

Whether a large bathtub or spa bath will be used regularly.
Space available to install a water heater.
Available energy supplies – gas or electricity.
