Electric hot water systems comprise both storage tanks and instantaneous systems. The former are a more practical option for smaller households, while the latter provide hot water on demand without a storage tank. Both are affordable to install and are ideal for homes with lower upfront budgets. However, over time, they can increase your power bills.
Gas hot water systems include storage and continuous flow units. While both are ideal for households that need hot water quickly, continuous-flow systems are especially good because they heat water as you use it. This means you won’t run out during busy periods.
Thanks to its sunny climate, solar hot water systems are a popular choice for homes on the Gold Coast.
These systems use roof-mounted collectors or split systems to heat water using solar energy. This helps to reduce not only your energy bills, but also your carbon footprint.
By using ambient air to heat water, heat pump systems offer an energy-efficient alternative to traditional electric systems. They work well alongside solar systems and are a good option for households that want to lower their running costs.
