We Install a Range of Hot Water Systems

Electric Hot Water Systems

Instant or storage designs
Range of sizes
Heating by electric elements
Lower installation costs

An electric hot water system has the benefit of being widely available. It works with conventional tank-type systems as well as tankless heaters and heat pump methods. Modern electric water heaters are very efficient - they convert all energy they use into heat for the water.

An electric hot water system heats using coiled elements which respond to the temperature of the water – they reactivate if the temperature drops below a certain level. They’re pretty energy efficient and work very well, so they don’t need as much maintenance as other types of system.

Gas Hot Water Systems

Instant or storage designs
Range of sizes
Heating by natural gas or LPG burners
Cheaper running costs than electric
Lower greenhouse gas emissions

Solar hot water systems harvest energy from the sun. This energy is transferred by a heat conducting fluid to a hot water tank.

Solar systems need a lot more space than traditional systems and are more expensive to install. After the initial outlay, you’ll see a significant reduction in your energy bills, plus this is the most environmentally responsible way to heat water for your home.

Solar hot water systems are a great way to save money and heat your water with minimum damage to the environment, especially in an area where there’s lots of sunshine.

Solar Hot Water Systems

Storage design
Range of sizes
Heating by solar energy
Can add gas booster
Lower power bills
Environmentally friendly option

Gas systems are common for heating both water and spaces. Whilst gas is a cheap fuel, it is not very efficient and is the most damaging to the environment.

When cold water enters the tank, a gas burner heats the water. When the water is warm enough, it rises and is drawn off ready to be dispersed as necessary.

We Provide Expert Maintenance & Inspections

Like everything, hot water systems need to be periodically inspected and maintained to ensure they are working correctly. While your hot water might be flowing properly today, there could be issues with your hot water system that you are not aware of that could cause major issues down the road. Parts and components can gather sediment, rust or corrode over time that can cause your water to be cut off abruptly.

If your filters or anode fail, the purity of your water could be compromised and you could have contaminated water coming out of your taps which is not healthy for you and your family, staff or customers.

When you have your system inspected by our professional team, they can discover the early warning signs of problems and address them quickly and affordably. This process usually only takes a few minutes but could save your major issues in the future.

It's recommended that you have your hot water system inspected every couple of years, or annually if you are using high volumes of hot water.

Hot Water System FAQs

How do I decide what sized hot water system I need?

Choosing which hot water system best suits your needs will depend on how many people live in your home, how much hot water you use and when you use it. It’s important to find the right size for your needs because a system that’s too small will run out of hot water frequently, and a system that’s too large will cost more to run because it’s heating more water than you’ll use. Talk to our plumbers for a better idea of the size and type of system you should choose.

Which kind of hot water system is the most energy efficient?

If your home is connected to mains gas and gets plenty of sunlight, we would recommend a solar storage hot water system with gas boosters. Generally, electric systems tend to consume the most energy and have a higher environmental impact.

How does a gas hot water system work?

A gas hot water system uses natural or LPG gas to power a gas burner that heats your water. We install two kinds of gas systems. The first is a storage system which will store the hot water in a tank, ready to use. The second type is a continuous flow system which heats the hot water as it’s needed and doesn’t require a tank.
