GAS HOT WATER SYSTEMS
ABOUT GAS HOT WATER
Gas hot water systems burn gas to heat water which generates far fewer greenhouse gases than using electricity from the grid. Gas systems can come in either a gas storage water heater, or a continuous flow/instantaneous water heater.
Gas storage hot water systems will usually have a continuously burning pilot flame which ignites a burner to heat the water in the tank when it is required. Usually the unit will have a thermostat which tells the system to heat the water in the tank if it drops below a specified temperature.
A continuous flow or instantaneous gas hot water system doesn’t have a storage tank as it simply heats the water via a gas burner which is activated when a hot water tap is turned on in the house. It only heats the amount of water that is required instead of continuously heating a full tank which means they can have large energy and cost savings. More importantly, what this means for the consumer is that with a continuous flow system you will never run out of hot water.

PROS AND CONS
OUR RECOMMENDATIONS
If you’re looking at upgrading your current gas system or connecting for the first time, we recommend installing gas continuous flow. With higher system warranties, 6 star+ energy rating & optional temperature control, this style system can suit the largest or smallest of families, only heating the water that you use.
Love a long shower? Never do you have to worry about running out or fluctuations in temperature as the water is heated as it flows through the system.
Temperature control provides safety & comfort to those with young kids and also saves on water & gas usage. Set your controller anywhere from 37 up to 50 degrees without the need of turning on a cold tap.

Frictionless ordering and installation process. Hot Water Com Au handled everything. All the government rebate paperwork. Plumbing and electrical installation of heat pump hot water system (200ltr) carried out by their own contractors. Very professional. Timely. (our electric hot water system failed just as we moved into our home so 4 days without hot water in winter. Nice). Highly recommend you consider Hot Water Com Au as one of your options for heat pump hot water installations.

Great prices, and thorough knowledge of all the available rebates that could be claimed. The team were super accessible for quotes and questions and made the process seamless from start to finish. New system was installed perfectly and the team were friendly, tidy and considerate throughout. Would happily recommend to anyone needing a new system.

From the responsive quote to installation, we had a very smooth experience in having our old electric storage hot water system replaced with an Istore 270 unit.From requesting quotes from 4 different places, we only received 2 replies, one of which was expensive and had very little detail other than product brochures and the other from Harry at hotwater.com.au. Harry requested site photos and provided 3 different quotes at different price points with descriptions of the main points of difference - warranty, efficiency etc. We went with the Istore as the midrange option.The installation by Mark and a sparky (sorry, I've forgotten his name) was very smooth too. Completed in about 3 hours. Communication was great. Questions answered clearly.All in all it was just so easy. More than happy to recommend hotwater.com.au for anyone looking for hot water replacement.

Great team of people, excellent pre-sales communication and advice. When my heat pump died, they arranged a temporary hot water unit asap, ahead of installing an iStore 160L heat pump. This heat pump is (so far) excellent - energy efficient, has a nice control panel and the water is hot! Installation by the team was trouble-free and the pricing was very reasonable. They also managed the rebate so I didn't need to process this myself. My only constructive feedback would be to improve their process of notifying customers of job schedules, both ahead of and on the day of the job. Other than that, would happily use this company again or recommend to others.

Professional job with good explanation of all work required.Job required paving removal and replacement and care was taken to get things looking like it was untouched.

Our hot water system died on a Sunday but waited until Monday morning to put a call out. A service tech was able to come within a few hours and diagnose a new system was needed. A new system was scheduled to be installed the following Friday, but he was able to install a temporary water system to get us through the week, which it did without issue. Very impressed with the service provided.

Couldn't have asked for a better experience! From start to end Natika stayed in contact with us about our new hot water system installation. She even had a temporary hot water system installed due to a small wait for our new system to come through so we didn't have to endure to many cold showers.I will be recommending these guys to all my friends and family due to the faultless experience we had.Thanks again guys

Natika was very knowledgeable in helping us select our new Hot Water System. We found them to be very thorough and efficient. The installers were punctual, polite, tidy, well organised and did an excellent job. We are very pleased with our Rennai B26 gas CF Water Heater. The old heater was removed and everything was left clean and tidy. We are pleased to recommend their service and efficiency.
