What you need to know about water heater systems:

The most common fuels used for water heating are gas and electricity. Always look for a plumbing service that deals in energy efficient hot water.

• Electric water heaters that can heat water at any time of day are by far the most expensive option. Off-peak electric (which heat only when tariffs are lower) and gas systems have similar costs, depending on the tariffs you have to pay.
• Natural gas produces much less of the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide (CO2) than electricity to heat the same amount of water. But it’s not available everywhere.
• You can also get hot water from sun and air, which reduces CO2 compared to conventional electric heaters, in most places.
• In areas where you can’t get natural gas, liquid petroleum gas (LPG) is an alternative. But expect to pay about one-and-a-half to three times as much as for natural gas or electricity

Selecting the best water heating system for your needs whilst there are many water heater options can be a confusing task as it depends your property’s roof space, off-peak electricity tariffs and access to natural gas.

Often a Heat Pump can be a great alternative if you choose not to have solar panels on the roof but still want to achieve the same efficiency as a Solar Hot Water System. We can also installthermostatic mixing valves that will ensure the safe delivery of hot water.

There are two main types of water heater: storage and instantaneous. Instantaneous heatersheat the water instantly, while in storage heaters it’s stored in a tank.
