Handy Hints and Helpful Guides

What size hot water system do I need?

While the size of the hot water system will more than likely vary depending on your specific needs, the average 4-person Australian home will need at least a 160 litre tank for a continuous electric system, or a 250-315 litre off-peak system. If you’re in the market for a gas tank, a 4-person house averages a 170 litre tank. 270-315 litre tank should be sufficient for heat-pump users. 

Why is the right size system so important?

If your hot water heater is too small for your needs, you will find yourself continually run out of water. On the other hand, if your hot water system is too large for your needs, you are going to spend an unnecessary amount of energy (and therefore money) heating it. This is because your hot water system will keep maintaining the heat of your water, even when you are not using it.

Can I install this system myself?

You will need a licensed plumber to install this system. 

What additional parts do I need for my new system?

At a minimum, you will need a tempering valve, pressure limiting valve, duo isolation valve and a cold water expansion valve. We have put these together in a single kit to make things easy! View our complete installation kit here

What type of hot water system is best for me?

There are so many choices! The first thing you need to consider is the type of system - electric, gas, or heat pump? We've put together some information on the different systems here.

I'm not in SEQLD - how do I choose a plumber to install?

It's important to ensure you choose the right plumber to install your hot water system. The last thing you want is a non compliant install on your brand new hot water system, which could shorten the life of the new hot water system and even void the warranty. We are often asked if a customer can install a hot water system...in all honesty the risks aren't worth it - and it's illegal! Best to call a licensed plumber to ensure it's done right.

Here's some important info to consider when choosing a plumber to install your new hot water system!

How do I calculate my hot water usage?

The first step to take in choosing a new hot water system is to calculate the hot water usage in your home. The amount of hot water each household uses will vary depending on lifestyle, appliances, and water fixtures throughout the house. 
We've put together a list that will help you in estimating your household's hot water usage. See the list here!
