Hot water systems use about 21% of household energy and create roughly 23% of greenhouse emissions in average Australian homes. The right system gives you reliable hot water while reducing your energy bills and minimising environmental impact.
Parker Plumbing installs various hot water systems:
Electric Hot Water Systems: Most Australians opt for this system. They work like a kettle, heating stored water for your home. Upfront costs start low, but running costs can be higher unless you use solar PV.
Gas Hot Water Systems: You can get these with storage tanks or as instant systems. They heat water faster than electric ones. Homes with gas connections find them more cost-effective in the long-term and they typically run for about 10 years.
Solar Hot Water Systems: These eco-friendly systems use solar panels or evacuated tubes with storage tanks. They cost more upfront but save money over time. Australian states often provide STCs and rebates to reduce initial costs.
Heat Pump Water Heaters: These systems use just 30% of the energy traditional electric systems need. They save energy by pulling heat from the air through refrigeration. Government rebates and STCs can alleviate costs.
Instantaneous/Continuous Flow Systems: These tankless options heat water as you use it, avoiding storage system usage. They save space and provide hot water with good water pressure.

To ensure you select the best option for your home or business, our skilled team is available to provide personalised consultations for properties in Ipswich and Brisbane’s western suburbs.
To maintain optimal efficiency and extend the life of your hot water system, it is recommended to drain the water heater every six months.
This process, crucial for preventing mineral buildup, involves a skilled plumber conducting an in-depth visual inspection, draining the system, checking the anode rod, and testing the thermostat settings.
These vital maintenance steps enhance the system’s performance and longevity.
Water heaters, both gas and electric, typically last 10-15 years. As they near the end of their lifecycle, internal issues may cause fluctuating water temperatures, necessitating repairs or replacements.
For gas models, check the pilot light and thermostat. A simple adjustment or relighting might resolve issues.
For electric models, verify thermostat settings. Additionally, ensure a mechanical tempering valve is installed and functioning on the hot water outlet, as this is crucial for maintaining safe temperatures.
If the water heater is too small for your needs, consider upgrading to a larger model to meet your household’s demand. Lastly, if experiencing uneven water temperatures across multiple outlets, the pressure reduction valve might need servicing or replacement to ensure consistent water flow and prevent potential hazards.
