Choosing a hot water system is a key decision that will have an impact on your hot water usage for quite a long time. You need to spend some time researching your options. Careful design and installation will help you prevent a lot of heat loss and reduce energy consumption. We work with the following types of hot water systems regularly:

• Solar Hot Water Systems
  Solar hot water systems use solar panels and collectors to absorb energy from the sun. The water is heated as it passes through the collectors, which then flows into an insulated storage tank for later usage. They can cost more to buy and install but over time they significantly reduce your energy bills. Our team is experienced in installing and maintaining these systems for optimal performance.

• Electric Hot Water Systems
  Electric hot water systems in Australia meet the minimum energy performance standards. These heaters will be cost-effective for households with lower hot water requirements. You can use electric water heaters with solar PVs to reduce energy bills. If your system requires any repairs to the pipes of the electrical systems, contact our team immediately. Do not attempt any repairs as it can be very dangerous and must be handled by trained professionals only.

• Gas Hot Water Systems
  These systems will heat a tank of water faster compared to electric systems. They are a cost-efficient option if you frequently require large quantities of hot water. Coxs Plumbing services can repair any gas pipe leaks or replace the entire system completely if required.

• Instant Hot Water Systems
  Continuous flow hot water systems will instantly heat the water and you can use them whenever required, but they will not have a storage tank. They are more energy efficient and generally cheaper than the other storage units that have storage tanks and lose heat over time.

• Heat Pump Hot Water Systems
  Heat pump systems do not generate heat directly. Instead, they use electricity to move the heat from one place to another. They are one of the lowest emitters of greenhouse gas and often the cheapest option. They need only one-third of the energy required by electric storage systems.

Regardless of the type of hot water system installed at your property, we have the technical expertise and the equipment to perform safe repairs or replacements. We will ensure that that issue is fixed properly the first time. You can rest assured about the quality of our workmanship as we do not compromise with quality at any point.
