Hot Water Unit Checklist

Before you purchase a new hot water system, you need to figure out which one is right for your household. You can do this by going through our hot water system checklist.

♦ How much water do you need? This will be dictated by the number of people who live in your house. If four people live in your home, you may need a tank as large as 250L. The size you need will vary based on the type of unit (gas/electric). Contact your local plumber for a recommendation.

♦  Storage tank or continuous flow? You need to decide whether you want a system that has a tank of warm water, or a unit that heats water as you need it. A tank system can sometimes result in faster hot water, where a continuous model is often more energy efficient.

♦  Budget? There is a system to suit every budget.

♦  Available space? Indoor or outdoor installation models are available. Consider the amount of space you have when choosing an indoor or outdoor unit. It is ideal to have your hot water system installed close to the kitchen or bathroom (so that there is a shorter distance for the water to travel).

♦  Which energy source? You might choose a gas or electric hot water unit based on your budget. Read on for more information about gas and electric water heating units.
