Why more Sunshine Coast locals are choosing gas hot water systems
Hot water accounts for up to 30% of a typical energy bill – and gas hot water heaters are generally cheaper to run than electric ones, especially when using natural gas. Whether you’re running a family household or managing multiple properties, this can lead to serious long-term savings.
Benefits of gas hot water systems
- Lower running costs compared to electric systems
- Continuous hot water flow for busy households
- Compact designs that save space
- Instant systems – no waiting for the tank to heat
- Available in storage tank systems or continuous flow systems
- Less impact on the environment when using natural gas
- Compatible with off-peak electricity for hybrid systems
Need help deciding between solar hot water systems, gas burner units or continuous flow? We’ll help you compare options so you can make an informed decision.
Gas hot water system vs electric: what’s better for your home?
While electric systems are common, they can be costly to run – especially when demand is high. A gas hot water system heats cold water faster, offers consistent hot water, and can be more efficient for medium to large households.
If you’re currently using electricity and want a more sustainable and affordable heating method, switching to natural gas or a gas continuous flow system is a smart move.
We’ll walk you through the options, including:
- Storage vs continuous flow
- Electric vs gas vs solar
- Expected energy costs and efficiency
- The best unit size for your household capacity and water use
We’ll get back to you quick!

Frequently asked questions
Most gas hot water system installations are completed within half a day. If you’re replacing an existing system with the same type (e.g. storage to storage or continuous flow to continuous flow), it’s usually a smooth, same-day job. More complex setups may take a little longer, but we’ll always let you know what to expect before we start.
Absolutely. Swapping from electric hot water systems to gas hot water systems is a common upgrade for homeowners looking to reduce energy costs. Our licensed gas fitters can assess your property and provide a tailored gas hot water installation plan to suit your layout, household needs and budget.
Storage tank systems heat and store a set amount of hot water, while continuous flow systems (also called instant or instantaneous systems) heat water on demand. Storage tanks are great for larger households with high usage, but continuous flow units are more energy-efficient and compact – ideal for smaller homes or couples.
The right gas hot water system depends on your household size, usage habits, and whether you want a storage or continuous flow setup. During your quote, we’ll recommend the best system to ensure you always have enough hot water without overpaying on running costs.
