Firstly when choosing a hot water system you’ll need to decide on the energy source. How do you know which hot water system type, electricity, gas, solar or heat pump & can you combine energy sources?

Combined Electric and Heat Pump Hot Water System
An electrically heated storage tank system is usually relatively cheap to buy and install, but is usually the most expensive to run, especially if it’s on the continuous (full day) rate. Systems that run on off-peak electricity are much cheaper to run, but need a larger tank as the water heated overnight has to last you all day. And off-peak electricity isn’t available to all homes.

Combined Gas and Heat Pump Hot Water System
Natural gas is a good option if you have the connection for it. It can be cheaper than electricity (unless you have solar panels) and because gas rates don’t vary through the day, gas hot water systems can heat water as needed. Liquid petroleum gas (LPG) bottles are an alternative to natural gas – but expect to pay significantly more in running costs.

Combined Solar and Heat Pump hot water system
Consists of solar collector panels and a storage tank. A four-person household typically needs about four square metres of solar collector area (two panels) and a 300–360L tank. You need a large tank to allow for days with less sunlight (or more hot showers than usual). The storage tank usually has an electric or gas booster element to keep the water hot on days with less sunshine.

Heat pump (Hybrid) technology
A much more efficient form of electric storage tank system that works on the same principle as a fridge or air conditioner, by extracting heat from the air and using it to heat the water tank. Hybrid Heat pumps make particularly good sense when you have solar panels on your home – you’re powering the hot water system with your own “free” electricity.
