Making a Decision on Hot Water Systems
Clean and healthy water is an invaluable resource, the foundation of life itself. However, we often take it for granted, especially when it comes to our hot water supply. It’s only when we’re jolted awake by a cold shower that we realize its importance.
If you find yourself in need of a new hot water system, it’s crucial to make an informed decision promptly. To assist you in this endeavor, we’ve compiled a comprehensive top 10 checklist, because selecting the wrong system can not only be a waste of money but also a squandering of a precious resource.
Top 10 Considerations When Purchasing a New Hot Water System
If you’re in the market for a new hot water system, make sure you choose the perfect fit with this top 10 list:
1. Shower Power:
Begin by assessing your household’s showering habits. How many people typically use the shower, and at what times? Is there a rush for hot water in the morning, evening, or both?
2. Get Connected:
Take stock of the utilities already connected to your home, including gas, electricity, or solar. Switching to a different energy source could lead to significant savings.
3. Type Matters:
After selecting your energy source (gas, electric, or solar), delve into the various types of hot water systems available, such as storage, continuous flow, or heat pump systems. Consider solar options, like flat panel solar vs. evacuated tubes, and high line solar vs. low line solar.
4. Manufacturer Reliability:
Different manufacturers excel in producing certain types of hot water systems. Seek advice from experts and conduct your own research to determine which manufacturer aligns with your needs.
5. Green Energy:
If environmental impact concerns you, explore eco-friendly options. Water heating is a major contributor to greenhouse gas emissions in Australian homes. Seek advice on systems with the least environmental impact.
6. Cost Analysis:
Weigh the upfront cost against long-term savings. Hot water system prices can vary significantly, so establish your budget and explore options within your range.
7. Space Considerations:
If you have limited space, don’t worry. There are space-saving options available. Explore what fits your specific space constraints.
8. Warranty Worth:
Examine warranty offerings from both the manufacturer and installer. What guarantees do they provide in case something goes wrong? Is there a workmanship guarantee from the installer?
9. Experience Counts:
Opt for a reputable, long-standing company to handle your installation. Ensure they explain the available options tailored to your household’s needs.
10. Seek Specialist Advice:
Investing in a new hot water system is a substantial commitment. Take your time and consult with a hot water plumber for expert advice. It's a wise investment for finding the optimal solution.
