Reliable Gas Hot Water Systems for Perth Homes

Gas Hot Water: A Proven Choice

Gas hot water systems have been reliably serving Australian homes for decades. They offer fast heating, lower running costs than electric storage systems, and work effectively regardless of weather conditions.

Whether you’re replacing an existing gas system or switching from electric, we provide expert advice on the best gas solution for your Perth home.

Gas Storage vs Continuous Flow

Gas Storage Systems

Gas storage systems heat and store water in an insulated tank, ready for use when you need it.

Advantages:

• Simpler, proven technology
• Works well with multiple outlets running simultaneously
• Lower upfront cost
• Easy to maintain

Best for:

• Larger households (4+ people)
• Homes with multiple bathrooms in use at once
• Households with predictable hot water patterns

Sizing guide:

• 1-2 people: 90-135L tank
• 3-4 people: 135-170L tank
• 5+ people: 170-250L tank or continuous flow

Continuous Flow (Instantaneous)

Continuous flow systems heat water on demand as it passes through the unit, providing unlimited hot water.

Advantages:

• Never run out of hot water
• Compact wall-mounted design
• Only heats water when needed
• Longer lifespan (15-20 years)

Best for:

• Smaller households
• Homes with limited space
• Households with unpredictable usage
• Replacing multiple small tanks

Sizing guide:

• 1 bathroom home: 20L/minute
• 2 bathroom home: 24-26L/minute
• 3+ bathrooms: 32L/minute or multiple units

Natural Gas vs LPG

Natural Gas (Mains) Natural gas is piped to your home from the mains supply. It’s the most economical option where available, with consistent supply and lower running costs.

LPG (Bottled) LPG systems use bottled gas, suitable for homes without mains gas connection. Running costs are higher than natural gas, and bottles need periodic replacement or refilling.

We can assess your property’s gas connection and recommend the most practical and economical option.

When to Choose Gas

Gas hot water may be right for you if:

• Natural gas is connected to your property
• You want fast heating and recovery
• You’re replacing an existing gas system
• Weather-independent reliability is important
• Continuous hot water matters (with continuous flow)

Consider alternatives if:

• You want to reduce carbon footprint (heat pump may be better)
• No gas connection exists (electric or heat pump)
• You want maximum energy efficiency (heat pump wins)
