Types of hot water systems
If you’re choosing to install a new system, our hot water experts can help guide you on what types will best suit your home and your personal needs. More modern systems can significantly help save on energy bills and can be far more environmentally friendly too. If you’re looking to upgrade your system, we can help you to choose the right system size and type for your goals.
There are generally four types of hot water systems to choose from when considering price factors – electric, gas, solar and heat pump.
Most Australian households use an electric storage system because they are generally the cheapest to buy and install but can be more expensive to run overtime.
Like electric systems, gas systems come in instant or storage varieties, but their cost can vary depending on the number of taps or water outlets.
Heat Pumps use air-condition technology to heat the water.
Electric Hot Water Systems
Electric hot water systems are the most common type of water systems available and work by heating stored water with an element. Electric units are among the most affordable in terms of upfront costs, as well as being easy to install, however, they can be expensive over the long run as they are not always as efficient on energy as other models.
Gas Hot Water Systems
Gas hot water systems are typically cheaper to run than electric systems and are available as instantaneous hot water units. One of the most significant advantages of instant gas water heaters is that they only heat water when it’s needed.
Choosing the Right Hot Water System for Your Home
Selecting the right hot water system for your home or business can be a daunting task, given the variety of options available. The right system for you depends on factors such as the size of your household, energy efficiency and budget.

Signs You Need Hot Water System Repairs or Replacement
Sometimes, it can be difficult to know whether your hot water system needs a simple repair or a complete replacement. Here are a few signs to look out for that may indicate it’s time to call in the experts:
- Inconsistent Water Temperature – If your hot water temperature fluctuates unexpectedly, it may be a sign that there is an issue with the thermostat or heating element.
- Strange Noises – Banging or rumbling noises could be a sign of sediment build-up in your system, which can affect performance.
- Discoloured Water – If your hot water is rusty or discoloured, it could indicate a problem with the tank or a build-up of sediment.
- No Hot Water – If your system isn’t producing hot water at all, it’s likely that the heating element or thermostat has failed.
If you’re experiencing any of these issues, it’s best to get in touch with O’Brien Plumbing Maroochydore.

How long does it take to install a hot water system in a Sunshine Coast home?

How do I know if I need a repair to my hot water system?
If your system needs repairs, the most common sign is that your water temperature is continuously changing or there is a lack of hot water altogether. There could be a decrease in water pressure, or your water has become discoloured, or you discover sediment in your water supply. Or there could be loud noises coming from your hot water unit. Our team of expert Sunshine Coast plumbers will guide you through the problems and let you know if the system does need a repair or it is beyond repairing and may need replacing.
How long do hot water systems typically last?
Hot water units usually last between 10-15 years, and some can start needing repairs as early as 8 to 12 years.
If your hot water system is beginning to make noises or the water temperature is becoming irregular, it’s a good sign the system is coming to the end of its lifespan, and you’ll need a replacement. If the hot water system in your Sunshine Coast home is old or outdated, talk to our team about potential replacement options.
How do you turn off your hot water system?
If you have a problem with your hot water heater, you don’t have to turn off your home’s whole water supply. Instead, you can isolate the problem by turning off just your hot water tank.
To turn off an electric water heater, find the circuit breaker or switch labelled “Hot Water” or “HWS” and flick it into the off setting. For a gas water heater, simply turn the gas valve closed.
For storage tank water heaters located outside the house, there is often a t-top style tap with piping running into the home. This is your water heater’s isolation tap. Twist the tap clockwise as much as you can to turn off your water heater supply.
