THE BEST SYSTEM FOR YOU

Suggestions for the best system for your situation, considering cost-effectiveness and environmental concerns.

A small water-efficient household

Choose an instantaneous gas hot water system or a small, high-efficiency gas storage system.

A medium-sized household

Select a high-efficiency gas or electric heat pump system. If you get enough sunshine, a solar water heater may also be a good option.

If you get plenty of sunshine

And have a large household; the best option might be a solar hot water system. However, a high-efficiency gas storage system or a solar-boosted electric heat pump may also be suitable.

A multi-residential development

A large, cost-effective solar water heater can be effectively combined with instantaneous gas boosters in each unit.

Geothermal Heat Pumps or Circulating Heat Pumps

Very efficient electric water heaters and may be a cost effective option for blocks of 5 or more units.

A gas booster solar water heater

Will generate the lowest greenhouse gas emissions. Where gas is not available, an electricboosted solar system or electric heat pump will minimise emissions.
