Frequently Asked Questions
Not sure which hot water system is right for you? Here are some helpful answers to the most common questions we hear from homeowners.
What type of hot water system is most efficient?
The most efficient system depends on your energy use, location and household size. Solar hot water and heat pumps are generally the most energy-efficient options, using renewable or ambient energy sources to heat water. These systems offer long-term savings, though the upfront cost may be higher. Gas hot water is efficient for high-demand households, while electric systems offer simplicity and a lower initial cost. We’ll help assess your usage to recommend the best option for your needs and budget.
How long do hot water systems usually last?
With proper care, most hot water systems last between 8 and 15 years. Heat pumps and solar systems may last longer, especially with regular servicing. Common signs that a unit needs replacing include rust or discolouration of water. Regular inspections and prompt repairs can help extend the life of your system. If your unit is older or underperforming, we’re happy to provide a system health check and talk you through the best replacement options.
What size hot water system do I need?
System size depends on how many people live in your household and your typical water usage habits. A small family might only need a 160–250L system, while larger homes may need 300L or more. It also depends on the system type—gas units often reheat faster, so smaller tanks may be suitable. Heat pumps and solar systems are typically larger to accommodate storage and recovery time. We’ll help you choose the right size to avoid running out of hot water or overspending on energy.
Can I switch from electric to gas or heat pump?
Yes, you can upgrade or switch systems when replacing your old unit. Moving from electric to gas may require a licensed gas fitter to install new lines or fittings, while switching to a heat pump may involve minor changes to your plumbing and power supply. Our team manages the entire process, ensuring your new system is installed safely and in line with regulations. We’ll also advise on efficiency gains, installation requirements and any potential government rebates available for eligible upgrades.
