FAQ
What type of hot water system is best for my home?
The best system depends on your household size, water usage habits, available energy sources (electricity, gas, solar) and budget. Electric systems are common and affordable but may be costlier to run over time. Gas systems heat water quickly and work well for medium to large households. Solar systems offer long-term savings and sustainability benefits but require upfront investment. Consider how many people live in your home, how often hot water is used and whether you want to prioritise eco-friendliness or low running costs.
How long should a hot water system last?
A typical hot water system lasts between 8–15 years depending on the type, brand, usage and how well it’s maintained. Electric units often last around 10 years, while gas systems can last slightly longer. Solar systems, with proper maintenance, may last 15 years or more. Regular servicing can help extend the life of your system by catching issues early, preventing sediment build-up and keeping components working efficiently.
Can I upgrade to a more energy-efficient hot water system?
Yes, upgrading to a newer, more efficient model can significantly reduce your energy bills and environmental impact. Options include switching from electric to gas, upgrading to a continuous flow system or installing a solar-powered unit with an electric or gas booster. Many modern systems are designed to use less energy while delivering more consistent performance. A licensed plumber can assess your current setup and recommend energy-saving alternatives suited to your property.
