Common Hot Water Systems


There are different types of hot water systems available, each with their own benefits. The most common types are:

Electric storage heaters - The most popular type of hot water system as they are relatively inexpensive to purchase and operate. They work by heating water in an insulated tank and storing it until it is needed.

Solar hot water systems - An environmentally-friendly and cost-effective way to heat your water. They work by using the sun's energy to heat water in a solar panel, which is then stored in an insulated tank.

Gas storage heaters - A suitable option if you have access to natural gas. They work by heating water in an insulated tank and storing it until it is needed.

Heat pump hot water systems - A more energy-efficient option than electric storage heaters. They work by using the heat from the air to heat water in an insulated tank.

Frequently Asked Questions


  • Why has my hot water suddenly stopped working?

    Hot water systems can stop working for a range of reasons, including faulty heating elements, thermostat issues, power or gas supply problems, or sediment build-up inside the tank. In some cases, the system may simply be too old and no longer functioning efficiently. A proper inspection is usually needed to identify the exact cause.

  • How long should a hot water system last?

    Most hot water systems last between 8 and 15 years, depending on the type, usage and how well they’ve been maintained. Regular servicing can help extend the lifespan, but over time, wear and tear will reduce efficiency. If the system is frequently breaking down or struggling to keep up, replacement may be more cost-effective.

  • Should a hot water system be repaired or replaced?

    This depends on the age of the system and the extent of the issue. Minor problems can often be repaired, but if the unit is older or repairs are becoming frequent, replacement may be the better option. A newer system can improve energy efficiency, reduce running costs and provide more reliable performance.
