TYPES OF HOT WATER SYSTEMS
When it comes to choosing the right hot water system, there are a few options available in Australia. Each has its own benefits, and the best choice really depends on your household size, energy preferences and budget. Here’s a quick guide:
Electric Hot Water Systems
These are some of the most common systems you’ll see around. An electric hot water system uses a storage tank to heat water and keep it ready for when you need it. They’re reliable and affordable to install, though they can have higher running costs if you’re not on off-peak electricity. For smaller households or units, electric storage systems can be a simple, no-fuss choice.
Gas Hot Water Systems
A gas hot water unit heats water faster and can be more efficient than electric. You’ll usually see two styles: gas storage systems, which keep a set amount of water ready to go, and gas continuous flow systems, which heat water on demand. If you’ve got access to natural gas, this can be a great option for both families and commercial properties.
Heat Pump Water Heaters
A heat pump is like a fridge in reverse – it pulls warmth from the air and uses it to heat water. They’re very energy efficient hot water options and can save you money over time, especially in our Sunshine Coast climate. The installation costs are a bit higher than standard systems, but the energy savings make up for it.
Solar Hot Water Systems
With so much sun on the Coast, solar hot water systems are becoming more and more popular. They use solar panels to heat your water and often include a booster (electric or gas) to make sure you’ve got dependable hot water on cloudy days. While a solar set-up has higher upfront installation costs, the long-term cost effectiveness is hard to beat – plus it’s great for the environment.
Hot Water System Installation Sunshine Coast
Installing a hot water system isn’t just about hooking up a tank. It’s about making sure you’ve got the right set-up for your family size, water usage and budget. A small household might do best with a compact electric storage unit, while a bigger family might need a large tank or even a continuous flow system for endless showers.
We supply and install trusted brands and provide expert advice on what will work best for you. Looking for energy savings? A solar hot water system paired with off-peak electricity can make a big difference to your bills.
With our friendly, professional team, you’ll have your new hot water system installed quickly, with minimal disruption, and always at a fair, upfront price.
Hot Water System Repair & Same Day Service
Sometimes your unit doesn’t need replacing – it just needs a quick fix. We handle all kinds of hot water system repair work, from worn-out heating elements to loose connections, tripped circuit breakers and leaky pipes. No matter what type of hot water heater you’ve got, our licensed plumbers know how to get it running again.
Best of all, we offer same-day hot water service across the Sunshine Coast. That means if you wake up to cold water, you won’t be waiting days for it to be sorted. Whether it’s a repair or arranging a new system, we’ll have you back up and running fast.
Hot Water System Replacement
Sometimes repairs just aren’t worth it – especially if your system is older, inefficient, or costing you too much in running costs. That’s when a full hot water system replacement is the smarter, more cost-effective option.
We’ll take care of the whole process, from removing the old unit to supplying and installing the new one. We’ll also talk you through the choices:
- Gas storage systems for reliable heating.
- Gas continuous flow models for never-ending showers.
- Heat pumps that use the air around you to heat water efficiently.
- Solar systems for the ultimate in energy-efficient hot water.
Every home is different, which is why we don’t believe in one-size-fits-all. Our job is to help you find the best hot water system for your lifestyle.
Energy Efficient Options
If you want to save money and reduce your environmental footprint, upgrading to a more energy-efficient hot water system is a smart move. Options like heat pumps, solar panels, and continuous flow designs help you heat water stored more efficiently, while reducing waste.
We’ll help you weigh up installation costs, long-term cost effectiveness, and potential energy savings, so you get a clear picture of what’s best for your home.
