How to get a Hot Water Heater?
We all need Hot Water Perth. Society has become accustomed to the ease and practical
applications of hot water for bathing, cleaning and cooking. The valuable natural resource of
water is even more significant when warmed to exacting temperatures to suit our daily needs.
This is why a hot water heater is such a fundamental appliance in domestic dwellings as well as
commercial and industrial settings.
The humble hot water heater can be located either indoors (usually in laundries) or outdoors
and will be utilising a storage tank or continuous flow system. Both methods of obtaining hot
water have their advantages and disadvantages. The four different fuel sources available to
produce hot water from a hot water heater are gas, electricity, heat pump or solar energy. Heat
pump and solar hot water heaters have some degree of reliance on gas or electricity to boost
their power source when the natural energy they rely on is limited. With the growing awareness
and concerns over our carbon footprint, the environmentally friendly options for using natural
energy in the form of heat pump (using air) and solar (harnessing the sun) hot water heaters is
becoming more lucrative and attractive to the consumer market.
The right hot water heater for a
house depends primarily on the
amount of people residing
within that home, with the
capacity of a unit being able to
accommodate estimated daily
use. The financial expenditure
of a hot water heater after the
initial supply and installation
costs should factor in the long
term running and maintenance
outlay. The longevity of the
average hot water heater is
approximately ten years, but
can extend further if a regular schedule of servicing by a qualified plumber is applied.
Inspection, repair and replacement of significant parts over the years can do a lot to conserve
energy consumption as well, with replacement components such as the anode rods and
temperature pressure relief (TPR) valve going a long way to sustain the life of the appliance.
Regular maintenance will also identify any probable issues before they overwhelm and
deteriorate the hot water heater, causing irreversible damage.
Brands of hot water heaters commonly sold in Australia include Bosch, Dux, Rinnai, Vulcan,
Chromagen and Aquamax. Built to strict Australian standards, these makes of hot water heaters
offer models to suit all consumer and business needs. Licensed plumbers and gas fitters are
skilled with hands on experience in hot water heaters and are the professionals to contact
should there be any hot water issues that arise.
