All You Need To Know

  • What’s the difference between electric, gas, solar and heat pump hot water systems?

    There are four main types of hot water systems, each with its own benefits:


    • Electric systems use a heating element inside a storage tank. They're relatively cheap to install but often cost more to run long-term, especially on peak rates.
    • Gas systems can be storage or instantaneous (continuous flow). They heat quickly and are often cheaper to run than electric, but require a gas connection or bottled supply.
    • Solar hot water systems use roof-mounted panels to absorb heat from the sun, storing it in a tank. They offer major energy savings but have higher upfront costs and need good sun exposure.
    • Heat pump systems work like a reverse fridge, using ambient air to heat water. They're energy-efficient and ideal for climates where solar isn't always reliable, though they can be noisier and more expensive to install.

    Each system type suits different households, climates and budgets, so it’s important to assess your priorities before choosing.

  • Why is my hot water discoloured or smelling bad?

    Discoloured or smelly hot water often points to sediment build-up or bacterial growth in your hot water tank. A rusty or brown tint may be caused by corrosion inside the tank or ageing pipes. Rotten egg or sulphur-like odours are usually due to bacteria reacting with the system’s sacrificial anode rod, especially in systems that haven't been flushed or used regularly. In some cases, replacing the anode or flushing the tank can solve the problem. If the issue persists or is affecting both hot and cold taps, it may be a sign of broader plumbing issues. Always test multiple taps to isolate the problem and contact a licensed plumber for a full inspection if needed.

  • Is it normal for a hot water system to make noise?

    Some noises from a hot water system are normal, like the hum of a heat pump or the sound of water filling the tank after use. However, loud banging, hissing, gurgling or popping sounds can indicate a problem. In electric storage systems, popping or rumbling often comes from sediment build-up on the heating element. Gas systems may make a “whooshing” sound when igniting, but hissing or whistling could point to pressure issues or venting problems. If your system is making persistent or unusual sounds, it’s best to have it checked—ignoring it could lead to further damage or system failure.
