How to choose the right hot water system

To help you choose the right hot water system for your needs and lifestyle, it’s worth taking a minute to ask yourself a few questions, such as.
  • What times of day you will you be using hot water? for example peak or off peak
  • What is the number and ages of people living in the house now and in the future?
  • What energy sources are available at your home? for example gas or electricity
  • Would it be better to save money in the long run by investing in a new type of system such as solar hot water?

What types of hot water systems are available?
  • A gas or electric storage tank is the most common hot water system found in homes. It heats and stores hot water in an insulated tank.
  • Instantaneous water heating systems heat water as it flows through the heater. You will never run out of hot water, however there is a significant reduction in water pressure.
  • A quick recovery storage tank is often used where large amounts of hot water are required over a short period of time. These are commonly-used in motels and sporting clubs.
  • Solar hot water systems store energy from the sun to reduce the amount of gas or electricity required. Find out more about solar hot water.
