Storage Tank Systems (Electric or Gas)

Storage tank systems are the most common type of hot water system in Australian homes. These systems heat and store water in an insulated tank, ensuring a steady supply of hot water whenever you need it.

  • Benefits: They come with an affordable upfront cost, reliable performance, and are easy to install.

  • Best for: Larger households with consistent hot water usage.

  • Considerations: However, energy efficiency can vary depending on the model. Additionally, older systems may have higher running costs, so it’s worth keeping an eye on their efficiency.

Tankless (Continuous Flow, Instantaneous) Systems

Tankless systems heat water on demand, providing an endless supply of hot water without the need for a storage tank. These systems are available in both gas and electric models, offering flexibility to suit your needs.

  • Benefits: They are energy-efficient, have a compact design, and are ideal for homes with limited space.

  • Best for: Smaller households or those looking to reduce their energy bills.

  • Considerations: On the downside, they come with a higher upfront cost, but over time, they offer lower running costs, which makes them a good long-term investment.

Heat Pump Systems

Heat pump systems are an eco-friendly option that uses heat from the air to warm your water. They are highly energy-efficient and can significantly reduce your energy bills.

  • Benefits: They offer lower running costs, are environmentally friendly, and are eligible for government rebates.

  • Best for: Households in warmer climates, like Queensland, that are looking to save on energy costs.

  • Considerations: However, they do come with a higher upfront cost and require adequate space for installation, which could be a limiting factor for some homes.

Solar Hot Water Systems

Solar hot water systems use energy from the sun to heat your water, making them one of the most sustainable options available. Typically, they are paired with a gas or electric booster for cloudy days, ensuring you still have access to hot water when the sun isn’t shining.

  • Benefits: They are extremely energy-efficient, reduce your carbon footprint, and are eligible for government incentives.

  • Best for: Environmentally conscious households with access to ample sunlight.

  • Considerations: However, solar systems come with a higher upfront cost and require roof space for the solar panels, which might not be suitable for all homes.
