Types of Hot Water Systems
When you need to replace your old hot water system due to old age, or simply install it for a brand new house, there are a lot of options to choose from. Here is a quick breakdown to help you understand all the choices.
Electric hot water system - Electricity is how we power most of our appliances, it is reliable and effective. Electric hot water systems basically function the same way as kettles do. They have a water storage tank with heating elements at the base. You then set the desired temperature for the hot water and the elements will work as much as needed to keep the water at that temperature. Such water heaters can also be set for a more economical process, where the water is only heated up at night time, when the electricity is cheaper. The rest of the day, the temperature in the tank is maintained, but there is no major heating involved until the next evening when the price drops. This is a great way to keep the bills lower. Electrical water heating systems are cheapest to buy and install, but they tend to be on the higher side when it comes to cost of running. The negative to the off peak heating is that you might use up all the hot water during the day and then have to wait until the next morning to be able to use it again, this is often so for larger families, or households where the tanks provides enough normally, but problems arise when a guest is staying over for a longer period of time, therefore increasing the usual water usage. There are also hot water systems that are designed for continuous flow, which means that water is being heated up on demand while it’s being used. This has a lot of benefits, such as never running out of hot water, as well as no wasted energy on keeping a whole tank heated at all times. It is more energy efficient, therefore it is more environmentally friendly as well.

Gas hot water system - A more popular choice in Australia is the gas hot water system. It is a reasonable choice even though it is more expensive to purchase and install. Gas is a relatively cheap resource here, so the drop in hot water bills is huge when moving from an electric to a gas hot water system, making up for the initial costs in no time. Gas hot water systems have other benefits as well, such as never running out of hot water as there is no such thing as off-peak. Gas always comes for the same price, regardless of the time of day. The time to heat up a tank full of water is not long, so even if you do use up all the hot water, the wait time for a new batch is not long at all. Because it is quick to heat up, the tanks can be smaller, making a gas hot water unit a much more flexible solution for smaller houses. And when it comes to the effect on our planet, Natural gas heaters tend to create less greenhouse gas emissions compared to electric hot water tanks that are connected to the grid. Gas simply burns more efficiently than the coal that is burnt in electricity production in Australia.
Plumbing Bendigo can help you with:
Solar hot water system - Solar power is slowly but surely taking over everywhere, and this is a very positive thing! Currently water heating generates about 23% of greenhouse gas emissions in Australia. Using renewable clean energy sources for heating your water is a great way to reduce your environmental impact. Recently more and more households are moving towards using solar power either for their whole house power needs or just for their hot water systems. Given heating water has such a big impact, it is a good first step towards a greener way of living. Solar hot water systems are expensive to purchase and install, however due to the global need to move towards a more environmentally healthy way of living, our Government is really supportive of households who choose to make this change, offering them solar hot water rebates to help with the initial expense. Once the system is installed, it will work just like a normal electric hot water system, but you will have a nice feeling, knowing that you create zero pollution when using this system. For a less dramatic change, you can even start by just using solar as a booster for your current system, regardless if it’s electric or gas. This is a big topic, and if you’d like to learn more or see some options and different brands and products, get in touch with our solar hot water Bendigo plumbers!
