Vertical Central Water Heater 65 GAL Stainless Steel, 4.5 kW | Al Zamil Tanks

2026 Market Rates & City-Specific Availability

A 6 gallon electric water heater currently costs between SAR 450 and SAR 850 in Saudi Arabia. Matkel keeps this exact capacity in stock for rapid dispatch to Riyadh, Jeddah, and Dammam. You get transparent VAT breakdowns. Shipping clears within 24 hours for major metropolitan zones. No hidden handling fees.

Energy Draw & Saudi Grid Compatibility

Our units run on standard 220V single-phase wiring. The 4.5 kW heating element pulls roughly 20 amps during peak cycles. That wattage recovers hot water fast, even when hard water scales accumulate. In KSA, where summer heat regularly pushes past 45°C, quick recovery cuts utility strain. The thermostat cuts power the moment the set temperature hits. SASO certification confirms every safety cut-off meets local electrical codes.

Installation Timeline & Storage vs. Tankless

A licensed electrician typically finishes mounting and wiring in two to three hours. You can expect professional installation costs between SAR 250 and SAR 400. I’ve seen contractors skip the thermal expansion valve once too often. That mistake cracks tanks during summer pressure spikes. Always insist on a proper expansion tank. Storage models hold steady hot water for multiple fixtures. Tankless designs save floor space but dip under heavy back-to-back usage. Pick storage for family homes.

Maintenance for KSA Conditions

Sand storms and high humidity accelerate sediment buildup. Flush the tank every six months. Swap the anode rod once a year. This straightforward routine extends service life well past the standard warranty period.
