Main Types Of Water Heaters:

Electric

The water in an electric system is heated by an element located inside a tank. It is heated in the tank, which is available in a wide range of sizes, and then kept hot until it is required. The second type of electric hot water heater is the instantaneous electric hot water heater, where water is heated instantly on demand; there is no water storage tank, so it is possible to have a never-ending whenever a faucet is turned on.

Gas

In the same process as electric systems, gas storage heaters store hot water in tanks; however, they use a gas burner to heat the water. A gas instant water heater is also available which involves a gas burner that only heats water when it is needed, again there is no storage tank so your water will always run hot.

Solar

Solar-powered hot water systems make it possible to heat your water while reducing your impact on the environment. Solar systems typically use panels placed on a roof to collect sunlight, which is then used to heat the water. When the sun isn’t shining, these systems typically rely on electricity or gas to provide power.

Choosing A Hot Water System

There are a number of factors to consider when choosing the right hot water system for your home or property. The most common are as follows:

Size

The capacity of your hot water system should be able to meet the demands of your home or property. To do this, estimate how much hot water you need for your household or property during peak hours.

Fuel Type

Heating water contributes to about 25% of a home’s energy usage. In Australia, the fuel could come from heat pumps, natural gas, electricity, and solar. You have to check what fuel types are available in your area. Is your home connected to the main gas supply? If it is still not, that would entail additional costs for your hot water installation.

Cost

Aside from the cost of the hot water system itself, also consider its maintenance costs and energy efficiency rating including heat loss rates. This will help you evaluate if your chosen hot water unit is really worth it.
