Instant Hot Water Systems

Instantaneous gas hot water systems give you plenty of hot water at a temperature you choose.

Is this the type of system for you?

Choosing an instantaneous gas hot water system to replace your old electric hot water system will reduce your electricity bills and your greenhouse emissions.

Plus... you'll never run out of hot water. Even if you have teenage daughters. :)

The newer generation of instantaneous gas hot water systems have direct temperature control. The electronically controlled thermostat makes sure you get a constant water temperature with the maximum flow rate. This means no more cold showers when the dish washer kicks in.

When choosing your new system, it's best to go with a model/brand that has a high flow rate. Particularly if you have a larger household. Please note: If you have more than a 3 bedroom home I would suggest installing a storage type hot water system with gas boost rather than an instantaneous water heater.

Instantaneous systems are good but for larger families a good solar hot water system that is gas boosted is a much better option (economically) in the long run.

Thinking Instantaneous Hot Water?

There are many instantaneous hot water systems on the market. Some of the better known brands are Rheem, Rinnai, Dux, Bosch, Edwards...

With so many different brands, systems, capacity, flow rates, models and choices available it's hard to know what's best for your requirements. And furthermore... which system gives you the best government rebates and bang for your buck.

Instantaneous hot water systems (also known as demand or continuous-flow systems) only heat the water as you use it. This is why you never run out of hot water. Be careful though. Instantaneous models are only economical when using gas energy.

If you have an instantaneous hot water system running on electricity they are connected to an unregulated power circuit which is the most expensive electricity you can buy (tariff 11 - general light & power). Instantaneous models are really good for units and small houses or when space is an issue. For larger homes ideally a storage system is best.

The upsides of instantaneous models... 

Unlike instantaneous electric hot water systems, gas powered ones are often cheaper to run than gas storage models with the same heating capacity. So if you are not going with a solar powered storage unit with a gas boost, an instantaneous model might be right for you.

Consideration should also be noted whether you have main supply gas available in the area you live or bottled gas.  Mains supply gas can be a lot cheaper than bottled gas.

One of the BIG differences between instantaneous and storage models is initial cost. It's much cheaper (initially) to install an instantaneous hot water system than a solar-gas boosted hot water system. Although over the life-cycle of the two model types, solar storage models win hands-down!

Instantaneous hot water systems can suit a small or large family. If you have a large active family, your situation might call for an instantaneous hot water system so you don't find yourself having *cold showers* in the middle of winter.

A never-ending supply of hot water is one of the main factors why a lot of people choose to install an instantaneous gas hot water system.
