Hot Water Types
Most Australian homes are connected to electric hot water, which is part of the biggest contributor to Australian greenhouse gas emissions. It is well worth considering your choices to go with greener energy if you can, it will not only give back to the environment but can be a real selling point for a future sale and reduce your energy bills.
Electric Hot Water Systems
Electric hot water is appealing because of the low initial purchase price, reliability and long life. These are also the best hot water heaters for small spaces, like units, because they don’t need a lot of space and can be installed indoors as well as outside. With care and maintenance, your electric system can last 15 years, and even longer for tankless systems.
Gas Hot Water Systems
Gas hot water systems can cost less to run compared to electric as the heating process is more economical, requiring less gas to obtain temperature. This really only works out financially if your Central Coast property is connected to natural gas mains, as LPG gas is rather expensive. As well as being a little cheaper to run, they are better for the environment, however, you may need to replace your unit after ten years.
Solar Hot Water Systems
The greenest option for hot water is solar energy. The team at Fluid Plumbing are highly familiar with installing solar hot water systems. While it can be expensive to set up, the solar panels and batteries are a great investment and will pay back in low energy bills and give your home a great energy rating. It’s well worth discussing how viable this is to your property and looking at any government funding that may be available.
Heat Pumps
Heat pumps are the next big thing in hot water systems. These greener energy solutions can be connected to your existing electric hot water configuration, therefore reducing the cost of switching systems, and can provide hot water through heat transfer using outside air. They can slash your hot water energy expenses without the high investment of solar. They do need space to operate so the right location is essential.
Our Hot Water Services

Hot Water Repair
A stitch in time saves nine is true for everything, even hot water systems. When you address small issues straightaway the costs are less and there is no downtime. Looking after small issues also helps increase the overall life of your system and get years more value from the investment. It’s really important to note that some elements of hot water systems are designed to corrode early to prevent damage to your tank. Making sure you get these parts replaced on time saves your tank from rust and the explosions that can result if left untreated.
Hot Water Installation and Replacement
The cheapest way to buy a new hot water system is to replace your old one with something new that is pretty much identical. This will reduce the time it takes to complete the work as well as the parts (pipes and electrics) needed to make them fit. You can also choose to install a completely new system which has big long term advantages like cost-efficiency, increased hot water availability and reduced environmental impact. Whichever option you choose Fluid Plumbing can give you the widest range of water heaters to select from and provide expert advice on your options in terms of ongoing costs, serving and eventual replacement.
