What is the right service type?
When choosing a type of HWU, you need to consider what is available in your area.Do you have access to Gas or would a solar HWU get enough sunlight to stay hot? The 3 main types of systems are gas, electric or solar hot water systems and each have their own set of benefits and limitations.
How big is your house?
The number of bathrooms and taps in your house effects the level of system you’ll require. If you’re not sure, contact us to get a quote and assessment of the optimal solution for you.
What is your budget?
Both the upfront and ongoing costs need to be considered in finding your hot water solution. While solar might be a little more upfront, the ongoing costs are next to nothing as compared to gas and electric systems.
What are your usage patterns?
The frequency and length of things like showers, dishwashing and laundry may mean that you need a larger resovoir of hot water to ensure that you don’t run out of hot water.
Location of Unit
Making sure there is a suitable space for installing a hot water unit is paramount to cost effective install, maintenance and usage.Things like shade (for solar), building construction and distance to taps may effect the possibility and cost of installation. Choosing a good location will save you both time and money.
Your preference
Finally, and most importantly is your personal taste and preference in hot water units. You might have had an especially good
experience using a certain type of system and want that replicated in your home or you want something a little more aesthetically appealing if your system is in a visible place.
