Types of hot water systems

Gas Infinity Hot Water Heaters
Gas infinity systems, like the Rinnai INFINITY A-Series, offer continuous hot water by heating it on demand, ensuring you never run out. These systems are energy-efficient, as they operate only when hot water is needed, potentially reducing energy bills. They are ideal for households with limited space, as they eliminate the need for a bulky storage cylinder.
Electric and Gas Hot Water Cylinders
Traditional hot water cylinders store a reservoir of heated water, available in both electric and gas models. Electric cylinders are straightforward to install and maintain, while gas cylinders can offer faster heating times. However, it's important to note that heat losses from gas hot water cylinders are higher than electric ones, and it's not safe to put a hot water cylinder wrap on a gas cylinder.
Hot Water Heat Pumps
Hot water heat pumps are highly energy-efficient compared to traditional electric or gas systems, using around 60-75% less electricity. They work by extracting heat from the air and transferring it to the water, resulting in lower running costs and reduced emissions. While the initial installation cost is higher, the long-term savings make them a cost-effective choice for many households.

Working with a range of brands including Rheem and Rinnai hot water systems


Both Rheem and Rinnai are reputable brands offering reliable hot water solutions. Rinnai is well-regarded for its instant heating systems which provide on-demand hot water offering enhanced energy efficiency, and they offer storage hot water cylinder systems too. Rheem offers both instant systems and traditional hot water cylinders, catering to various preferences. Choosing between Rheem and Rinnai will depend on your household’s hot water usage patterns and energy efficiency priorities.

Hot water system FAQs

Gas infinity systems only heat water when needed, reducing energy waste and lowering running costs compared to some electric cylinders. However, the cost-effectiveness depends on gas availability, electricity prices, and your household’s water usage. We can help you compare options based on your specific situation.

Yes, if your household’s hot water demands have increased, upgrading to a larger cylinder can be a good solution. We’ll check whether your home has enough space and whether your existing plumbing can support the upgrade. Alternatively, we can discuss continuous flow systems if you never want to run out of hot water again.

The lifespan of a hot water system depends on the type and maintenance. Gas infinity systems can last 15-20 years with proper care, while electric and gas hot water cylinders generally last 10-15 years. Hot water heat pumps typically last around 10-15 years but may require maintenance to keep them running efficiently. Regular servicing can extend the life of your system.
