A hot water system is, without a doubt, a necessity to almost every home in Brisbane. Whether it\u2019s during the warm season or winter, everyone definitely needs a good supply of hot water in their homes. Who would love a cold shower? But that\u2019s not the only reason for having a hot water system. We also need water for cleaning dishes and laundry amongst other activities. It is also important for homeowners to know that the hot water system also plays a significant role in preventing the clogging of drains<\/a>.<\/p>\n For you to get the most out of your water heater, you need to invest in a reliable system that is also energy-efficient. There are various types of hot water heaters that you can select from as discussed below. However, if you are a first-time shopper, you may need a professional plumber to help you choose the right water heater system.<\/p>\n There are two main types of water heating systems in Brisbane: Gas and electric water heaters. In this guide, we have made a comparison between the two water heater systems to help you make the right decision. Check out the main pros and cons of each of the water heating systems.<\/p>\n As the name suggests, a gas water heater is a water heating system that uses natural gas as the main fuel. Although they are not common within Brisbane, they are increasingly becoming popular due to a number of benefits such as rapid heating and lower operating cost. If you’re looking for a gas water heater, call a professional plumber<\/a> to install your hot water system. The tankless heating system also called a continuous flow system is the most preferred by homeowners. It is a system where water passes through a hot pipe hence delivering a constant supply of hot water. It\u2019s also cheap to install. The other type is a tank system or the conventional gas water heater which is expensive upfront but fairly cheap to maintain.<\/p>\n As the name suggests, electric water heaters use electricity as fuel to heat water. They are very popular across Australia and more so in Brisbane due to a number of reasons. One of the reasons why these water heaters are popular is because they are easy to use compared to gas heaters. With these water heaters, you don\u2019t have to worry about turning the gas for the heating to start- they rely purely on electricity. They are also extremely reliable compared to the humble gas heaters. There are many brands like Rheem Water Heater<\/a> that you can select from in Brisbane.<\/p>\n Both water heater systems are good, but if you are looking for better efficiency, then a gas hot water system has better efficiency. It has a higher recovery time and is cheap to heat water in the long run.<\/p>\n The electric water heating system will cost you more in the long run. That is because electricity is more expensive in Australia than natural or LPG gas. A gas system is more expensive to install in terms of upfront costs, but you will recoup the additional costs with your lower bill within a year.<\/p>\n Ultimately, it all depends on your needs and type of household.
