Gas hot water is a cost-effective, energy-efficient option for all households. You can save on power bills when compared to electricity, depending on your individual circumstances.
However, there are big decisions to make when it comes to hot water and here at After Hours Plumbing we’re always ready to help with advice. When considering which gas water heater is best for your home, consider factors such as:
- How many people will be using hot water?
- When do you use hot water?
- Does your dishwasher or washing machine use hot water?
- Do you have water saving fixtures installed?
Don’t feel daunted by making this decision, just call After Hours and one of our plumbing experts can present the best options.
Types of Gas Hot Water Units
There are two main types of gas hot water systems – continuous flow (or instantaneous) and storage tank. Both types can run on mains natural gas, or more rarely, bottled LPG (liquid petroleum gas).
An instantaneous hot water system is a wall-mounted unit. Water is heated as it moves through internal pipes, only as you need it. It’s a cost effective supply of hot water, ideal for smaller households or if you’re energy conscious. When compared to an electric storage tank model the savings will be instantly noticeable.
A gas storage tank hot water system takes up more space but does provide a larger supply for bigger households. Once again it is an energy efficient alternative to its electric counterpart, and worth considering if you have access to natural gas.
No matter the type of gas hot water system, the brand or your location, After Hours Plumbing is on the road and can be there for repairs, maintenance or installation. Our plumbing experts will make sure your gas hot water system is performing at its peak.
Common Gas Hot Water Problems
A well-maintained gas hot water system should last from 8-12 years. Some systems even last for more than 20 years, but during that long lifetime there will be some common problems that occur.
These problems can be monitored with regular maintenance, which is highly recommended. Give After Hours Plumbing a call if you experience any of the following:
- Hot water has gone cold
- Fluctuations in water temperature
- Rusty or off-colour water
- Odd noises coming from your tank (e.g. banging)
- A leaking or burst tank
- Pilot light keeps going out
- Gas bill going up for no reason
