Frequently Asked Questions

Got a question? We’re here to help.

  • Do hot‑water heat pumps work in Canberra?

    Yes, heat pumps work well in Canberra. Even in colder months when the weather makes you question your life choices by extracting heat from the air to warm your water efficiently. They're basically magic, except with science.

  • What is the most efficient type of hot‑water system?

    Heat pump and solar hot water systems are the most energy-efficient. They help lower your running costs long-term, which means more money for coffee and less for your electricity company.

  • Is gas hot water cheaper than electric in Canberra?

    Most of the time, yes. Especially if you’re on natural gas. It’s the checkout‑express lane of water heating: faster and usually easier on the wallet.

  • How long do hot‑water systems last in Canberra?

    Quality units typically run 10–15 years with regular maintenance. Annual check‑ups, anode‑rod replacements, and timely valve servicing will keep yours humming well past its warranty.

  • What size hot‑water system suits a family of four?

    Aim for a 125–160 L continuous‑flow unit or a 250–315 L storage tank. That’s enough hot water for back‑to‑back showers without turning the bathroom into a battleground.

  • What’s the cheapest hot‑water system to run?

    Describe the item or answer the question so that site visitors who are interested get more information. You can emphasize this text with bullets, italics or bold, and add links.
  • What’s the downside of a tankless (instantaneous) water heater?

    They can struggle when multiple taps demand hot water simultaneously and need solid water pressure to shine. Great for singles or couples. Less ideal for big families with marathon shower habits.
