Horizontal Electric Water Heater 80L White, 1200 WATT 220/240 Volt | Saudi Ceramics

Installation & Spatial Requirements

An 80 gallon electric water heater needs a minimum 60 cm clearance on all sides for proper ventilation and maintenance. The Saudi Ceramics 80L vertical tank measures roughly 60 cm in diameter and 140 cm in height. Mount it on a reinforced concrete floor or a certified heavy-duty wall bracket. Connect the unit to a dedicated 20-amp circuit with proper grounding. Saudi building regulations in 2026 mandate SASO certification for all residential water heating equipment. Our warehouse holds verified stock ready for same-day dispatch across Riyadh, Jeddah, and Dammam.

Energy Consumption & Monthly Running Costs

Drawing 1200 W at 220/240 Volt, the tank consumes approximately 5.1 kWh daily during full heating cycles. With current Saudi electricity tariffs averaging 0.20 SAR per kWh, your monthly operating cost sits near 30 SAR. Summer temperatures in Jeddah and Dammam often push ambient water temps above 25°C. This shortens heating time and lowers bills. We recommend setting the thermostat to 60°C. That temperature kills Legionella bacteria while keeping efficiency high.

Commercial vs Residential Sizing & Brand Comparison

An 80 gallon electric water heater fits large families or small commercial spaces like dental clinics. Standard apartments usually require 50-gallon units. Multi-story hotels or dormitories typically need 100-gallon tanks for peak demand. AO Smith and Rheem hold strong market share, but their imported units often struggle with KSA’s hard water and sand storms. Saudi Ceramics uses a thick epoxy powder coating to block rust. The vertical design also fits standard utility rooms better than bulky horizontal models.

Warranty Coverage & Local Maintenance

Every unit carries a 2-year warranty covering the heating elements and inner glass lining. Matkel handles all warranty claims directly. We do not route you through third-party centers. Our Riyadh and Jeddah service teams perform annual tank flushes, replace sacrificial anode rods, and recalibrate thermostats. Proper maintenance extends tank life by 40%. Secure your order today.
