Our plumbers are qualified and trained with the two main types of gas hot water systems.
Storage Unit
The water in the storage tank is constantly gas heated . This type of hot water system is not the most energy efficient.
Gas hot water systems are generally installed outdoors and range in capacity 100 to 300 litres.
Many models have temperature adjustment & quick recovery for use where there is high demand for hot water at busy times.
Instantaneous | Demand Hot Water Systems
This type of Continuous Flow Gas Hot Water Systems only heats the water when you need it. The unit senses the flow when a tap is turned on and heats the water instantaneously.
Highly efficient and compact, these units can also be temperature controlled for added safety & convenience.
In addition, they are literally ‘continuous flow’ and will never run out of hot water – even if you are last in the shower!
We recommend install and service Bosch, Rinnai, Dux and Rheem Instantaneous Hot Water Systems.
