Choosing a water heating system

Did you know that hot water heating accounts for around 30% of the average household energy bill?

Whether you’re updating your existing water heating system or fitting out a new build, choosing the right system is a major decision.

There are 6 basic ways to heat your home’s water:

1. Electric hot water cylinder
2. Gas hot water cylinder
3. Gas continuous flow
4. Heat pump water heating
5. Solar water heating
6. Wetback on a woodburner

Some newer or particularly environmentally-friendly systems require a substantial upfront investment, but have lower running costs. More conventional systems may have a lower upfront cost, but higher running costs. It is important to decide what you can afford and what you are setting out to achieve.
