Tips for choosing the right hot water system

Buying a new hot water system.

Purchasing a new hot water system is an investment in your future and, as the hardest working appliance in your home, you must purchase the right product for your needs now and into the future.  

Like all appliances, hot water heaters don’t last forever.  If maintained correctly and serviced every 5 years or so, most tanks will last many years, even decades. Unfortunately, as hot water systems get older, manufacturers stop producing spare parts and replacement tanks.  When old systems encounter problems and need to be repaired, spare parts may not be available, and hot water tank replacement is the only option.

When we advise a customer on the best hot water system for their needs, we not only consider their hot water demands now but also their projected usage in the future. For example, as small children grow into teenagers, they invariably use more hot water. Additionally, it’s important to not only consider the ‘humans’ in the home but also the hot water usage requirements of other appliances such as washing machines and dishwashers which can use as much hot water as one person.

Below is a list of factors to consider when purchasing a new hot water system. 
  • How many bathrooms or members of your household will be using hot water at the same time?
  • How many adults and children live in the home? Teenagers tend to use more hot water than small children.
  • Are other appliances such as dishwashers and washing machines connected to the hot water system? Will they rely on the hot water system at the same time as household occupants?
  • Will a bath or spa be used regularly?
  • Where will the hot water system be installed and how much space is available?
  • What are the available energy supplies (i.e. gas, electricity, solar)?
  • Do you want to keep your energy bills to a minimum?
  • Is the environmental impact of your hot water system an important consideration?
  • Is reliability important and a long warranty?
  • Do you prefer to buy Australian made or Australian owned?

Note: Climate conditions and water pressure can also affect the hot water system that can be installed in your area.  If you need advice, contact our friendly team.
