Hot Water Installations
Types of Hot Water Systems
Storage Hot water units
Tree roots will wreak havoc on your plumbing system, growing rapidly and silently around your pipes. Eventually, the pressure will be far beyond your pipe’s threshold, causing them to burst.
Continuous Flow Hot Water Units
One of the more advanced hot water units to help cut down wastage and have more control over temperature. With a 6-to-7-star energy rating, you can expect the continuous flow hot water unit to be far more cost-efficient and eco-friendlier than its counterparts. They do not take much space and can be installed in smaller residential properties like an apartment or unit. Though given its great number of benefits, it is far more costly upfront than others. However, you may save more in the long run and you won’t ever have to worry about running out of hot water again. Continuous flow units can be powered by electricity or gas.
Solar Hot Water Unit
The most eco-friendly and energy efficient out of all of the options. Given that it uses the sun to power the unit, solar hot water systems are becoming increasingly popular as more households are looking for a ‘greener’ alternative. If by chance there is an absence of solar energy, the unit will be connected to electricity or gas, so you won’t have to worry about running out of hot water. In most cases, solar powered hot water systems will require you to install a number of panels on your roof. However, if this is a concern, our team will be able to provide you with possible alternatives to install your solar panels.
Heat Pump Hot Water Unit
Though costly to install up front, heat pump hot water units are incredibly efficient. You can expect very low running costs during the lifetime of your heat pump. This is because heat pump water heaters extract heat from the air and converts it into hot water. You will be able to have instant hot water any time. To install this unit your property will need to provide a space with good ventilation for the unit to work effectively. This may be a concern for smaller properties.
Hot Water Maintenance & Servicing
As with many aspects of your home, a hot water system will require consistent maintenance to avoid costly repairs and pre-mature replacements in the future. You can prevent the stress of emergency call outs by simply getting a professional hot water technician like Guardian Plumbing & Blocked Drains to come out to your property and service your hot water system.
We recommend that you have a maintenance or service once every two years to ensure your hot water system is functioning and operating at its optimum capacity.
