The Right System for Your Home
Choosing between storage and instantaneous units isn’t just about price – it’s about how your household actually uses hot water. Larger families may benefit from higher-capacity storage tanks, while smaller homes often suit continuous flow systems that heat water on demand. We assess available space, energy source and peak usage times before installation.
Older systems can lose efficiency as internal components wear out or sediment builds up. In coastal areas, environmental factors can also affect lifespan.
Replacing an ageing unit before it fails completely can help avoid unexpected cold showers and water damage. With the right system in place, you’ll notice consistent pressure, steady temperature and fewer surprises.
Frequently Asked Questions
What’s the difference between storage and continuous flow systems?
Storage systems heat and store a set amount of water in a tank, keeping it ready for use. Once the tank empties, it needs time to reheat. Continuous flow systems heat water instantly as it passes through the unit, meaning there’s no stored supply to run out.
However, they rely on sufficient gas supply and water pressure to perform well. The choice depends on household size, usage patterns and available energy sources.
Understanding these factors helps determine which type will deliver consistent performance.
Why is my hot water pressure lower than cold water pressure?
Lower hot water pressure can be caused by sediment build-up in the tank or pipes, partially closed valves or ageing pipework restricting flow. In some cases, tempering valves that mix hot and cold water may not be functioning correctly.
Over time, mineral deposits can narrow internal pathways, particularly in older systems. This reduces flow rate from hot taps while cold water remains unaffected.
A professional inspection can identify the exact cause and determine whether cleaning, part replacement or a full system upgrade is required.
Can I switch from an electric to a gas hot water system?
Switching from electric to gas is often possible, but it requires assessment of gas availability, meter capacity and ventilation requirements.
Gas systems typically heat water faster and may offer lower running costs depending on energy prices. Installation may involve running new gas lines and adjusting plumbing connections. Space requirements and compliance standards must also be considered.
A detailed evaluation of the property helps determine feasibility, upfront costs and long-term savings before making the change.
