Types of Hot Water Systems
At Fusion Plumbing, we have experience working with four types of hot water system: gas,
electric, solar and heat pump systems.
Electric
Electric hot water systems are the most popular type and are most common in Australian
homes and businesses. They’re available in various sizes and efficiencies. Problems with
electric systems often include thermostat failures, switches or elements that are not
working properly, or power issues.
Gas
For gas systems, we provide full installation and supply of gas storage and continuous gas
systems. Gas hot water systems use a gas burner instead of an electric element to power
them. They are often smaller in size compared to electric, and they are more
energy-efficient. Continuous gas systems are economical and ensure you are never without hot
water, providing hot water only when the tap is turned on.
Solar
The most energy-efficient type of hot water system operates on solar. Although they aren’t
generally 100% solar-powered, as they do need backup electricity as well to run, they can
save you around 70% of the water heating expense on your energy bills. Solar hot water
systems are smaller than electric and gas, and you can add extra PVs if you want to increase
efficiency.
Heat Pump
These systems take moisture from the air to heat up the water in the tank. While they are
effectively electric, they are much more energy-efficient. This makes them more expensive,
and the heating process means they produce more noise. Common problems include fluctuating
temperature (too hot or too cold), and component failure on the circuit board.

Which Hot Water System To Choose?
The four systems mentioned above all have benefits and work differently for different
environments. Electric systems provide better heat at night or on cloudy days than solar
systems, but the systems are much larger and take up more space. Gas systems are cheaper
than electricity; however, LPG can be expensive. Solar systems have low running costs, but
they require an expensive setup of solar panels. Heat pumps require open space and they can
be noisy, but they are cheaper to run.
If you’re not sure which system suits your property the best, the team at Fusion Plumbing
can assist with expert advice.
