Compact Hot Water Heaters
Compact Storage Tank Hot Water Heaters
A storage hot water system is the under-bench hero of modern kitchens, laundries, and bathrooms—small, mains-pressure electric water heater cylinders that keep a ready supply of steaming water right where you need it.
Perfect for granny flats, salons, or satellite sinks, they deliver reliable warmth while trimming plumbing runs and energy use—an ideal fit for compact homes across Australia.
Product Offering
Storage Hot-Water Heaters – Compact 10–15 L electric storage tanks that slip inside cupboards to give basins or laundries their dedicated supply.
Buildmat’s 10 L and 15 L units (including German-made options from Stiebel Eltron) slip neatly inside a vanity or cupboard, serving a basin, shower, or dishwasher without the bulk of a full-size tank.
Some other heating options:
- Instant Hot Water Systems – Wall-mounted electric units that heat water only as you use it, delivering endless 50 °C/60 °C supply while slashing standby energy loss.
- Heat Pump Water Heaters – High-efficiency, high-COP cylinders that harvest ambient air to cut running costs by up to 70% compared with conventional electric tanks.
Materials & Durability
- Glass-Lined or Stainless-Steel Storage Tank – Resists rust, scale, and mineral-rich water common in many Australian regions.
- Copper Heating Element – Fast recovery with long service life.
- High-Density Polyurethane Foam – Locks in heat, cutting standby losses.
- Over-Temperature & Over-Pressure Valves – Built-in safeguards meet Australian standards.
Quick, Low-Impact Installation
Units ship with universal wall brackets, BSP connections, and a pre-wired 230 V plug. A licensed plumber can mount, pipe, and temper in under an hour—no roof panels, gas lines, or three-phase supply required.
Energy-Efficient Operation
Dense insulation maintains set-point water with minimal reheating, and the built-in thermostat lets you schedule off-peak cycles. Switch to Eco mode while you’re away, or dial up to 70 °C for an occasional legionella purge.
Capacities That Fit Your Space
- 10 L – Point-of-use hand basins, cafés, staff kitchens.
- 15 L – Small apartments, en-suites, laundry troughs.
Both models deliver full mains pressure, so mixers and appliances run without flow drop-off.
Simple Maintenance
Once a year, lift the pressure-relief lever and inspect the sacrificial anode—no full-tank drains or element swaps unless your water is exceptionally hard. The job takes less time than descaling a kettle.
Upgrade cramped corners and secondary wet zones with Buildmat’s compact storage hot water system range—plug-and-play cylinders that provide instant hot water supply and energy-smart comfort for every tap in Australia.
