Hot Water Systems – Which one is right for me?
Hot water systems are becoming more compact, more eco–efficient each year. Some systems may cost more to install but in the long term will be cheaper to run. With such a vast selection of hot water heaters made available, it can be hard to know which hot water system is the best choice for your household.
If you prefer to research what’s best for you, Reece have a handy hot water system selector, or you can ask to discuss your requirements directly with our plumber before you’re booking.
Please find below more information about the benefits and drawbacks about different hot water systems:
Most homes choose to have an electric hot water system due to their improved efficiency ratings over recent years. Electric hot water systems come in various storage capacity sizes. They range from smaller systems which can hold around 25 to 80 litres. However, larger systems can hold between 125 to 400 litres in total.
Obviously, choosing a system which is larger than you require is not economical. Essentially you are paying to heat and store water that you'll never use. But then if you choose a heater that doesn't store enough water than is needed, the cost to heat additional water is considerably more.
Bondi Plumbing only use the best and most reliable suppliers when we are required to install an electric hot water system. We regularly buy electric hot water systems through Reece, who stock suppliers such as Rheem, Rinnai and Dux.
An electric hot water system can vary in running costs depending on whether they are connected to an off peak or reduced tariff electricity supply, which can make this form of hot water system considerably economical to run.
Gas hot water heaters are growing in popularity due to being drastically lower in greenhouse gas emissions. With increasing amounts of homes becoming more conscious of their contributions to maintaining the environment, it's becoming an obvious move. As there are a number of variations for gas hot water systems, you should never rush into any decision when it comes to choosing your hot water heater option. As you will need guidance to deal with the variations of your location, supply options, house size and configuration, as well as a few other factors, our plumbers can assist you in avoiding the pitfalls of a wrong decision.
We offer all our customers the best fixtures and fittings available, and use a range of Rinnai and Rheem HWS's, ensuring that your are 100% satisfied with the results we provide. Something to also be aware of... if you are not already connected to the gas mains, you should factor-in there may be a lag time between applying to get connected and plumbers arriving to install your new gas heating system.
The good news is, our plumbers are more than happy to come to your property and discuss the benefits of changing your hot water system, and how best to get you connected. Plus, review any new plumbing pipework you may require, or re-run, to ensure optimum results from your hot water system. Be assured, our plumbers will provide all practical options.
This includes the best positioning of your hot water system as well as the appropriate minimum/maximum capacity. The size of the gas heating unit you choose is very important, it must be big enough to meet your water demand, but not too large that you end up paying for hot water you can't/don't use. Again, the advice of our plumbers will be incalculable.
Heat pump hot water systems are less commonly known in Sydney homes. When proposed with the challenge of choosing your new or replacement hot water system, many cut the decision instantly down to between a gas or electric unit. However, heat pump hot water systems are a new and exciting way to use renewable energy to heat your water. Plus, you don't even need to install solar panels!
Heat pump hot water systems use approximately a third of the energy required in an electric hot water system. And here's the good part, this hot water system has extremely low greenhouse gas emissions, through the lower levels of energy required to run the water heating unit.
Here's a few things you may not know about heat pump units:
- They can be used for both heating and cooling water
- They work by transferring the intensified warmth from the air around it into the water stored in the tank through a heat exchange system.
- If you've never had a heat pump hot water system before, then they are a great alternative if you've previously had an electric one. They use similar, if not the exact same, plumbing that currently exists.
- They do take longer to heat water, especially when they are emptied, unlike electric or gas instantaneous hot water systems.
- They can even draw heat out of outside temperatures that reach as low as -10 degrees. INCREDIBLE.
For further information about this hot water system, do not hesitate to talk to one of our heat pump specialists for great advice. Our plumbers have all the answers to the many questions that revolve around choosing the heater just right for you.
Finally, we should also advise the Australian government wishes to reward those Sydney homes who are working towards becoming more sustainable. Therefore, choosing an energy efficient hot water system, like a heat pump unit, could entitle you to a rebate.
