Gas or Electric System — Want Gas Plumbing in Ballina, NSW

Gas, Solar Or Electric?

There are benefits to both electric and gas systems, depending on your personal preferences, budget and situation. Electric systems are more expensive to run compared to gas but the up front costs are lower if your current system is also electric. Electric water heaters are easier to repair, as serious issues with gas water heaters can often mean having to replace them with a new model. ...

Gas hot water heaters produce fewer greenhouse emissions, have a quicker recovery time and use smaller tanks compared to electric systems. They’re also cheaper to run, however, if you are replacing a current electric hot water system with a gas one, it’s a little more complicated and that can be reflected in the higher up front costs.

If you go with a solar hot water system, there are 3 types of solar hot water system you can choose from. They are known as, a flat plate collector, evacuated tube collector and heat pump systems. Solar hot water systems are located on the roof, usually facing North. They operate by the sun heating the water in the collector which then goes to the tank. Solar hot water systems are a more expensive option when installing, but are much cheaper for you in the long run than an electric or gas system.
