What types of hot water systems are there?
Nothing is worse than having a cold shower with no hot water. When shopping around for a new hot water system, you should work out what type you are after first. Hot water systems come in all different shapes and sizes with different styles and power sources required in order to power them. With so many different systems on the market these days it is no longer a case of how much money you have to spend. It is more about what you want your system to provide.
- Recirculation Systems - These types of systems work by circulating the water through hot water pipes and then back through the water heating system until the water reaches a set temperature.
- On-Demand - With these types of systems the hot water stays hot until the recirculation system is triggered by the operation of either a hot water tap, a switch or a sensor.
- Continuous - These work by having hot water circulating continuously for a period of time each day that is usually set on a timer.
- Instantaneous - With these systems, the water flow is detected by a sensor that then ignites a burner which heats the water passing through the heat exchanger. The water absorbs the heat as it flows through the heat exchanger.
Water heater power options
Gas
Gas water heaters are connected to natural gas or LPG. These systems are highly efficient and economical and produce low greenhouse gas emissions. It can be a great option if you are connected to mains gas. The unit will need to be located outside or have an exhaust vent if installed indoors.
Electric
Electric hot water systems are generally the most budget-friendly option in water heating to have installed. However, as they rely on electricity they are expensive to run. Using them during off-peak periods can help you reduce your energy consumption. Although, they can have high greenhouse gas emissions.
Solar
Solar water heating is an excellent way to ensure you have plenty of hot water, no matter how big your household is. A solar hot water system uses energy from the sun to heat the water so that you will enjoy a huge reduction in your energy bills. Solar has a higher initial upfront cost but this is offset by the much lower future energy bills. As a backup on colder or cloudy days, you can choose to have a gas or electric booster installed, for continuous hot water.
Heat Pump
Heat pump water heaters work like a refrigerator, they use warmth in the surrounding air to heat the water. This option uses less energy and is 3 times more efficient than conventional electric water heaters.

Can I convert from an electric system to a gas hot water?
Yes, you can. If you do decide that you want to swap from an electric storage hot water system to a more energy-efficient option, then a gas system is a perfect upgrade.
Things to consider if you are converting from electric to gas will impact how long it takes and how much it will ultimately cost.
- Does your property already have gas connected? If not you will have to find out if it's possible to supply gas to your property. If so what type: bottled LPG or natural gas?
- Does that supply pipe provide enough gas for the new hot water system? The more gas needed the bigger the supply pipe needs to be.
- Where are you planning on putting your new gas system? Instantaneous and continuous flow hot water systems need to comply with Australian Standards.
- Will you need to install a water pressure limiting device? This is to control excessive water pressure.
As you can see it isn't always a straightforward procedure, they are just a few of the questions that both you and your plumber are going to need to know before you can even commence the conversion.
What is the best temperature for a hot water system?
This will be dependent on what type of hot water system you have installed. Typically new units will be over 60°C as that is the lowest temperature to ensure no bacteria can grow inside of the tank. Normally you will also have a tempering valve installed with your new system that controls how hot the water is in your home. This way your hot water system can be well above 60°C but your home can be a pleasant 45°C to 50°C.
