Hot Water System FAQs
What size hot water system do I need?
System size depends on your household. As a guide, a 125L tank suits 1 to 2 people, 250L suits
3 to 4 people, and 315L or larger suits 5 or more. Continuous flow systems are sized by flow
rate rather than capacity. Your installer can recommend the right size for your needs.
Should I choose gas or electric hot water?
Gas systems typically have lower running costs but higher upfront prices. Electric systems are
cheaper to install but can cost more to run, especially on peak tariffs. Heat pumps offer
excellent efficiency and may qualify for government rebates.
Are there rebates available for hot water systems?
Yes, rebates are available in most states for energy-efficient systems like heat pumps and
solar hot water. Your installer can advise on current rebates and help with any paperwork
required to claim them.
How long does hot water installation take?
A straightforward replacement where connections remain the same typically takes 2 to 4 hours.
Changing system types or relocating the unit may take a full day, especially if new gas or
electrical work is required.
