Plus, we’ll take care of organising a reputable local electrician if we determine the problem to be electrical.

Gas Hot Water Systems

We’re qualified gas installers and have extensive experience in new gas hot water installations and replacements.

Benefits of Gas Hot Water Systems

Gas hot water systems are a reliable and energy-efficient choice. They come in two types — storage (tank) and continuous flow (tankless). Tank systems are more cost-effective per litre, while tankless models only heat water as needed, making them ideal for smaller households. Gas systems heat quickly and work well even during peak usage times.

Is Gas Right for Me?

While gas is a great option for many homes, it does require regular maintenance and safe installation by licensed professionals. If your property isn’t connected to mains gas (common in rural areas), LPG is an option — or solar or electric may be more suitable. We can also install gas hot water pumps for pools and underfloor gas heating, one of our local specialties.

Solar Hot Water Systems

Benefits of Solar Hot Water Systems

Powered by sunlight, a solar hot water system is a popular option for households that want to adopt planet-friendly, green technology. A renewable source of energy, a major benefit of solar power is that it doesn’t require the use of fossil fuels in its manufacture. In addition, solar power can be economical to generate and use, as the energy source is free. Once installed solar panels are very low maintenance, and the whole system can often run for years before any inspection of maintenance is required.

Is Solar Right for Me?

When considering whether to opt for solar hot water, it’s important to be aware that the up-front costs of installing a solar hot water system can be quite high in comparison with gas or electric options. In addition, a solar hot water system will only heat hot water: you may need to also install an electric or gas system to power household appliances and/or central heating.

Electric Hot Water Systems

Why Choose Electric Hot Water Systems?

Electric is a clean energy source at the point of delivery, ensuring emissions in or near your property are negligible when you opt for an electric hot water system. Electricity has an excellent safety record as a power source, making it ideal for homes where safety and reliability are priorities. Contemporary electric systems are extremely energy efficient and are designed to heat only as much water as you need.

Is Electric Right for Me?

Electric hot water is a great choice in multi-occupancy buildings, or where it’s impractical to mount solar panels. Electric systems tend to be costlier to run than gas or solar alternatives and can be unreliable if your property is prone to power outages for any reasons.

If you’re not sure which type of hot water system is going to be best for your specific requirements, get in touch and we will be happy to provide tailored recommendations based on your individual circumstances.
