Question 1

How quickly can a hot water system be replaced in Perth?

Accepted Answer

Many straightforward like-for-like changeovers are completed within a few hours once the replacement unit is on site. The realistic timeframe depends on unit availability, the type of system, whether the installation position needs work and how the property is accessed. Contact us with the details and we will tell you what is achievable rather than quote a time we cannot hold.

Question 2

Which hot water system is right for my home?

Accepted Answer

It comes down to the energy sources connected at your property, the space available for the unit, how many people live there and when hot water is used. Gas storage and continuous flow suit homes with reticulated gas; heat pump and electric storage suit all-electric homes. The correct sizing follows from occupants and bathrooms, not floor area.

Question 3

Is a heat pump hot water system suitable for Perth?

Accepted Answer

Perth's mild climate suits heat pump systems better than colder parts of Australia, and they use substantially less electricity than conventional electric storage. Suitability still depends on having an outdoor position with airflow clearance, acceptable fan noise for neighbours and a suitable electrical circuit.

Question 4

What size hot water system do I need?

Accepted Answer

Sizing follows the number of occupants, the number of bathrooms and whether outlets run at the same time. A storage system is sized on volume and recovery rate; a continuous flow system is sized on litres per minute at a given temperature rise. We confirm the sizing at the property rather than guessing from the outside.
