What Is The Right Hot Water System For You?

When choosing the right hot water system, there are three main factors you need to consider. These three factors include:

  1. Number of people in your household.

  2. Number of bathrooms you have. 

  3. The type of hot water system that suits your needs. 

While the first two factors are easy to identify, it is difficult to determine what type of hot water system will be best for your situation. Each type of hot water system has its benefits and costs. 

 
 
 

Electric Hot Water System

Electric hot water systems heat water using electricity and store it in a tank until you need it. It works by using a heating element to warm the water inside the tank, keeping it hot for later use. These systems are simple to install and require minimal maintenance, making them a popular choice for homes without a gas supply.

Electric hot water systems are typically less expensive to install than gas or solar systems, but they can be more costly to run over time. Despite this, they're reliable and work well for smaller homes or those without access to gas.

Solar Hot Water System

For those looking for an eco-friendly option, solar hot water systems are the best choice. They harness the power of the sun, which significantly reduces running costs and environmental impact. Solar systems can lead to substantial long-term savings, especially in sunny climates, and government incentives may help reduce initial installation costs. 

Solar hot water systems can come in a split system where the tank is on the ground, or a close-coupled system, where the tank sits on the roof with the solar panels.

 
 

Gas Hot Water System

Gas hot water systems are a great option for larger households or businesses with high hot water demands. They are more energy-efficient than electric systems and offer faster heating with a better recovery time, making them suitable for homes with multiple bathrooms or high water usage. They are great for households where there is no suitable power source.

Heat Pump Water Heaters

A heat pump is an energy-efficient hot water system that uses electricity to move heat from the air or ground to heat water, rather than generating heat directly like traditional electric systems. It works by drawing in cool air, passing it over a refrigerant that absorbs the heat, and then transferring this heat to the water in the storage tank. This process is highly efficient and uses less energy than conventional electric hot water systems.

Continuous Flow System

A continuous flow hot water system (also known as an instantaneous water heater) heats water on demand, meaning it only heats water when you need it, rather than storing it in a tank. When you turn on a hot water tap, cold water flows through the unit, where it is heated instantly by either gas or electricity. This provides a constant supply of hot water without the need for a storage tank, making it a great option for homes with limited space or for those who prefer a more energy-efficient system.

Choosing a new hot water system can be a daunting task with so many options available. Cramers Plumbing is your trusted solution for all hot water services.

Looking For Hot Water Repairs? Cramers Plumbing Provides Efficient and Reliable Hot Water Services.

In some cases, hot water system repairs may be a more suitable solution than a full hot water system installation. Each hot water system has various components that could be at fault, such as a faulty heating element or thermostat, and if the system is relatively new, can be the reason why it is faulty.  

Cramers Plumbing offers both new hot water system installations and hot water tank repair to help resolve any issues you may be experiencing with your hot water system. Be assured that your hot water plumbing needs are in safe hands when you book with us.

 

Hot Water Service FAQ’s

  • Signs that you may need hot water system repairs include inconsistent water temperature, water not heating at all, strange noises from the tank, or a leaking hot water system. If your system is not delivering hot water as expected, it’s important to contact us at Cramers Plumbing to have our hot water plumbers come and assess the damage, diagnose the issue and provide you with a hot water heater repair.

  • To keep your hot water system running efficiently, regular maintenance is recommended. For gas systems, this may include annual checks of gas connections and burner cleaning. For electric systems, it may involve checking the heating elements and thermostat. Upon installation or repairs, we can help schedule routine maintenance to ensure your system stays in good working condition.

  • It depends on the age and condition of the system. If your hot water system is over 10 years old, it might be more cost-effective to replace it rather than repair it. However, minor issues such as a broken thermostat, sediment build-up, or a faulty element can often be repaired by our experienced hot water plumbers. We can assess the system to determine whether repair or replacement is the best option.

  • If your hot water system is leaking, it’s important to act quickly to prevent water damage. Turn off the power or gas supply to the system and contact us at Cramers Plumbing immediately. Leaks can often be repaired, but in some cases, a full replacement may be necessary if the tank is severely corroded or damaged.
