Solar
Solar water heaters are a great way to save money by using the sun to heat your water. This works by the water passing through collectors mounted on your roof, heating the water up to 100 Celsius.
Things to consider when installing Solar
- Roof that faces north
- Government rebates available (up to $4100.00)
- Hi Line system (this is where the tank is mounted on the roof, with the collectors)
- Lo Line system (this where the tank is down on the ground)
- Gas Boost (this is the most energy efficient system you can get)
- Electric Boost

Gas
Gas water heaters are the next best energy efficient system, next to solar and is 40% cheaper than electric to run. At present the Government is giving a $300 rebate when replacing an electric hot water service for a 5 Star Rating Gas Heater. There are 3 types of heater s to consider when purchasing a gas heater.
Things to consider when installing Gas
Continuous Flow System
- Location
- Powerpoint required
- Size of gas pipe
- Size of cold water inlet
- How many bathrooms it will be feeding
- solar water heater
5 Star Storage Unit (Stellar)
- Needs to be located outside
- Size of area to be located
- Number of people per household
- Comes with a 10 year warranty on cylinder
3 Star Storage Unit (Rheemglas)
- Indoor or Outdoor units available
- Size of the area to be located
- Number of people per household
- Comes with a 5 year warranty on cylinder
Call Now for more information 1300 566 292
Electric
Electric water heaters are a relatively inexpensive solution to your hot water needs. If you are replacing an existing water heater “like for like” replacement also tends to reduce installation costs.
Things to consider when installing Electric
- Number of people per household
- Are you on off peak electricity?
- Running costs
- Is it possible to convert to a more energy efficient heater, using the Governments rebates?

Heat Pump
When considering a more environmentally alternative for your hot water needs, and solar is unavailable to you, why not look at heat pump water heaters. They save almost as much energy and greenhouse gas emissions as solar, and don’t rely on sunlight.
Things to consider when installing Heat Pumps
- Government rebates apply (Up to approximately $3200)
- Works day and night, as they don’t rely on sunlight to operate
- Same day replacement of your electric hot water heater
- Must be located outside
- Not to be located next to bedroom windows as there can be some noise

General Hot Water Heater FAQ’s

As a plumbing expert from Sydney, I’ve heard just about every question in the book. Lucky for you, I’ve got some answers! So sit back, grab a cuppa, and let’s tackle some of the most common general hot water heater FAQ’s out there.
Click the links below to find out more.
Q: Why does my water heater keep tripping the circuit breaker?
A tripped circuit breaker can be caused by a number of things, including a faulty thermostat, a damaged heating element, or a buildup of sediment in the tank. It’s best to call in a licensed plumber to diagnose and fix the problem.
Q: What should I do if my water heater is leaking?
If your water heater is leaking, turn off the power supply to the heater and turn off the water supply to the heater. Then, call in a professional plumber to assess and repair the problem. Leaking water heaters can cause serious water damage and even pose a risk of electrical shock, so it’s important to address the problem immediately.
Q: Why does my hot water taste or smell strange?
Hot water with an odd smell or taste may have bacteria growth or mineral build-up. Flushing the hot water tank and using a water treatment system or water softener can help address these issues.
If problems persist, consult a professional plumber.
Q: What are the signs that my hot water system is not working properly?
There are a few signs that your hot water system may not be working properly. These include a lack of hot water, strange noises coming from your system, rusty or discoloured water, and leaks around the tank or pipes.
Q: What are some common problems with hot water systems?
Some common problems with hot water systems include a faulty thermostat, a malfunctioning pilot light, a buildup of sediment in the tank, and a leak in the tank or pipes. These problems can lead to a lack of hot water, higher energy bills, and costly repairs if not addressed.
Q: How can I prevent problems with my hot water system?
Regular maintenance is key to preventing problems with your hot water system. This includes flushing the tank regularly to remove sediment, checking the thermostat and pilot light for proper functioning, and having your system inspected by a professional plumber at least once a year.
Q: What should I do if I suspect a problem with my hot water system?
If you suspect a problem with your hot water system, the first thing you should do is call a professional plumber to have it inspected. They can identify any problems and recommend the best course of action to get your system working properly again.
Q: Should I repair or replace my hot water system?
This depends on the severity of the problem and the age of your system. If your system is relatively new and the problem is minor, such as a faulty thermostat, repair may be the best option. However, if your system is old and the problem is more severe, such as a leak in the tank, replacement may be the best option.
Q: How can I choose the right hot water system for my home?
There are several factors to consider when choosing a hot water system for your home, including the size of your household, your energy usage, and your budget. A professional plumber can help you determine the best option for your needs.
