Types of Hot Water Systems
Tank vs Instant Hot Water Systems
There’s no one-size-fits-all hot water system for Perth homes. The right choice depends on your household’s hot water needs, available space, existing setup, budget and preferred energy source.
Our team can assess your property and help you choose a system that suits your needs, with practical advice on installation, energy use and long-term performance.
Tank Systems
Instant Hot Water Systems
Heat and store water in a tank for later use. Available in different models including electric, gas, solar and heat pump systems.
Heat water as it is needed, without storing a supply in a tank. These systems can provide hot water on demand and may suit homes where space is limited.
What to consider
when choosing a system
Choosing a hot water system depends on how much hot water your household uses and what’s suitable for your home. The right system should meet your daily needs and work with your existing setup.
Household size
The number of people in your home and how much hot water you use each day can affect the size and type of system you need.
Existing system
If you’re replacing an existing unit, the current system, connections and available space can influence what can be installed.
Energy source
Gas, electric, solar and heat pump systems work differently and can have different installation requirements and running costs.
Available space
The space available for the unit and its installation requirements need to be considered before choosing a replacement.
There are several hot water system options available for Perth homes, and each works differently. Your household’s hot water use, existing setup and available space can all influence which system is suitable.
Types of Hot Water System:
- Electric hot water systems
- Gas hot water systems
- Solar hot water systems
- Heat pump hot water systems
- Instant hot water systems
Gas and electric systems are common choices, while solar and heat pump systems offer alternative ways to heat and store hot water. Instant systems can be a good option for homes that want hot water on demand or have limited space for a storage tank.

HOT WATER SYSTEM INSTALLATION
Planning to replace your system?
Some hot water problems can be repaired, but an older or badly damaged system may need to be replaced. Signs such as ongoing leaks, frequent breakdowns or poor hot water performance can indicate that replacement is the better option.
Replacing a hot water system involves more than simply removing the old unit and installing a new one. Hot water system installation in WA needs to meet the relevant plumbing, gas and electrical requirements, which can vary depending on the type of system being installed and the existing connections at the property.
We assess the existing setup, discuss suitable replacement options and explain what the installation will involve before getting started. We also service and install hot water systems from major brands, giving you flexibility when replacing an existing system.
The required plumbing and gas work is carried out by appropriately licensed trades, with the existing setup considered as part of the installation. This helps ensure the new system is installed correctly and in line with applicable WA requirements.
HOT WATER REPAIRS
When your system isn’t working properly
Hot water problems can range from a complete loss of hot water to leaking, temperature changes or a system that keeps cutting out.
Other signs can include unusual noises, water taking longer to heat or hot water running out sooner than usual.
The cause can vary depending on the system and the problem. We check the system and its components to identify what is causing the issue and determine what needs to be done. Where possible, a faulty component can be repaired or replaced rather than replacing the entire system.
If the system is older, has ongoing faults or has a more serious problem, replacement may be the more practical option. We’ll explain what we find and discuss the available options before the work goes ahead.
