Electric Storage Hot Water

The most common system type in established Gold Coast homes, electric storage hot water heats and holds a tank of water ready for use. While reliable, electric storage systems are among the least energy-efficient options available. If your electric system is ageing or failing, it may be worth considering an upgrade at replacement time.

 

Gas Storage Hot Water

Gas storage systems heat water faster than electric equivalents and tend to have lower running costs where natural gas is available. A good option for larger households with higher hot water demand.

Gas Continuous Flow (Instantaneous)

Continuous flow systems heat water on demand as it passes through the unit - meaning there's no stored tank, no energy wasted keeping water hot, and no risk of running out mid-shower. Highly energy-efficient and popular in Gold Coast new builds and renovations.

 

Heat Pump Hot Water

Heat pump systems extract warmth from the surrounding air to heat your water, making them the most energy-efficient electric hot water option available - using up to 70% less electricity than a conventional electric storage system. Queensland homeowners may be eligible for government rebates when upgrading to a heat pump system. Call us to find out whether you qualify.

 

Solar Hot Water

Solar hot water systems use roof-mounted collectors to harness the Gold Coast's abundant sunshine to heat your water. Available in electric and gas-boosted configurations. Contact us for a quote.

Signs Your Hot Water System Needs Repair

Not sure whether your system needs a service, a repair, or a full replacement? Here are the most common warning signs that something isn't right:

  • No hot water, or water that's only lukewarm - could indicate a failed element, thermostat, pilot light or gas valve

  • Rusty or discoloured water - a sign of internal corrosion, often indicating the anode rod needs replacing or the tank is nearing end of life

  • Popping, rumbling or hissing sounds from the tank - typically caused by calcium and sediment build-up on the element

  • Water pooling around the base of the unit - indicates a leak from the tank, relief valve or pipe connections
