Frequently asked questions

What is a hot water installation?

Hot water installation refers to the process we use to set up the system in your home or workplace.

What types of hot water systems are available for installation?

In Australia, our hot water systems are segmented into heating types; gas or electricity. Solar and heat pump units will be integrated with either gas or electricity heating systems. 


Electric systems
connect to the home’s standard electricity supply. We can often plug smaller tanks into the wall but the bigger units typically require us to integrate into your home’s electricity. This kind of system heats water by sending electric currents through a copper or nickel-chrome alloy element which heats up, thus warming the water. 


Gas systems
connect either to the Mains supply in your street or an LPG gas bottle/tank on your property. A burner ignites the gas as it enters the system, therefore warming the water. A flue removes the resulting combustion gas. 


Solar hot water systems
capture the sun’s heat via panels attached to the roof, sending it to a ground-level water storage tank (although sometimes tanks can be affixed to roofs). Integrating with electricity or gas means the system can heat water when the sun’s energy is not as efficient (e.g. after a string of cloudy days). 


Heat pump systems
collect air and circulate it through a pump. The process of circulation increases air heat, which is then channelled to the water. A heat pump typically integrates with an electric or gas power source so it can be sustained during high-demand periods. 

What factors should I consider when choosing a hot water system for installation?

Consider the following: 

  • Although gas systems are more expensive to purchase, they are typically cheaper and more efficient than electric systems once up and running.
  • Solar systems cost more to buy and install than conventional systems. However, they are significantly cheaper to run given the sun doesn’t charge you for its energy! 
  • Solar systems will only function well if they can capture the sun’s energy - not all roof aspects allow for this. 
  • A heat pump’s efficiency depends on where the pump is located, the specific device and the environmental climate in which you live. 
  • Heat pumps are up to three times more energy efficient than a conventional electric hot water system.

Can I install a hot water system myself?

We don’t recommend you install the system yourself, especially if gas is involved. Fully qualified professionals can make very light work of hot water system installations. As such, you would be surprised how cost-effective this can be, particularly given it comes with a peace of mind guarantee.

How long does a hot water installation take?

Provided we encounter no issues, the process should take between two to three hours. 

How can I maintain my hot water system after installation?

You can be quite proactive in maintaining your system after installation. We recommend the following:

  • Regular visual inspections every season - watch out for loose fittings, and corrosion, listen and look for leaks. 
  • Flush the tank once a year to remove sediment. 
  • Test the temperature valve once a year. 
  • If you go on holiday, lower the temperature (but do not turn the heating off completely, especially in winter). 
  • Check the venting for gas water heaters and ensure plenty of clearance around the pipes.
