Gas or Electric Hot Water Units?

There’s a lot of discussion around the shift away from gas and toward electric homes and solar.

We’re not here to judge, debate it, or get dragged into it.

We’re here to do something simpler – help you choose the best hot water system for your home.

Whether you choose gas or electric, heat pump or storage, the decision should come down to what suits your household, your usage needs, and of course what’s available to your home.

Heat Pumps – the newish kid on the block

Heat pumps are everywhere right now – and with good reason. They’re efficient, cost-effective, and future-focused.

There are a lot of options on the market with great government rebates, helping to bring the upfront cost down.

With plenty of ‘cheap install’ offers out there, our recommendation is to choose a quality brand from the start. The reality is, heat pump warranties are generally a lot shorter than gas storage units. You can generally only access the government rebate once, so it pays to make the right choice upfront rather than chasing the cheapest option now and paying for it later.

We install proven systems like:

Aquatech
iStore
Reclaim Energy

And we’ll always help you choose the right system for your home, not just what looks good on paper. Check out our Heat Pump Survey below to see if you’re eligible for rebates.

Gas storage unit – the quiet achiever

Now the old faithful.

Despite all the noise in the industry…

We still rate a good Aquamax-style gas storage system

Why?

Rock solid reliability
Great value for money
Easy to service and repair by a plumber
Strong warranty options – 12 years
Proven performance over decades
No paperwork – we can install the same day you call

We service them every 5 years and they just… keep going.

We’ve even got one at home that’s been quietly doing its job for over 15 years -handling a house full of teenagers who somehow turn every shower into a full production: lights, music, extended runtime… the works.

Still going strong without a hiccup. Just hot water when you need it.

We’re aware of the ongoing conversation around gas availability. Obviously, gas systems only work where gas is already connected, and in most established homes that’s not an issue. As with anything long-term, things can change over time depending on future policy direction, but for now it remains a solid option for many households.

So what should YOU actually choose?

This is where we come in. We don’t install based on guesswork.

We look at:

Your household size
Your usage habits
Your existing setup
Your long-term running costs
What will actually work best in your home
And of course, what you actually want!

Let’s get it sorted

If your hot water system is getting old, under performing, or just not quite right anymore – we’ll help you fix it properly. We also offer – and recommend – servicing your unit every five years.

No pressure. No confusion. Just the right system for your home.
