Why Choose Gas Hot Water Systems?

Switching to or upgrading your existing hot water system to gas can make a significant difference in terms of efficiency and savings. Here’s why gas systems are a smart choice for homeowners:

Instant Hot Water

No more waiting for water to heat up. With instant gas hot water systems, hot water is available on demand, making it perfect for larger households or high-use kitchens and bathrooms.

Lower Running Costs

Gas is generally cheaper than electricity, which means lower energy bills over time. Storage gas hot water systems and instantaneous systems offer efficient ways to heat water while keeping costs down.

Energy Efficiency

Gas systems, particularly instant gas hot water systems, use less energy because they only heat water when needed. They reduce power bills and help lower your home’s overall carbon footprint.

Gas Hot Water FAQs

Gas hot water systems offer many benefits, but they also come with some disadvantages:

  1. Dependence on Gas Supply: If your home is not connected to mains gas, you’ll need LPG bottles, which can be more expensive and inconvenient due to the need for refills. If the LPG runs out, you could be left without hot water.
  2. Higher Installation Costs: Installing a gas hot water system, especially a continuous flow model, tends to be more expensive than electric systems. You may also need to install a new gas line if switching from an electric system.
  3. Environmental Concerns: Gas is a fossil fuel, so while it produces fewer greenhouse gases than coal-powered electricity, it is still a non-renewable resource, contributing to environmental concerns.
  4. Ongoing Maintenance: Regular maintenance is required to ensure safe operation, particularly for gas systems installed indoors, which need to be vented properly to avoid the risk of carbon monoxide poisoning.

Despite these drawbacks, gas systems remain popular due to their reliability and lower running costs. However, weighing these disadvantages is important when deciding on the best hot water system for your home.

The cost to run a gas hot water system in Queensland is approximately $250 to $400 per year, depending on usage, gas prices, and the system’s efficiency.

The running cost of a gas hot water system varies based on factors like household size, hot water usage, and the efficiency of the system. As of 2024, gas prices in Queensland are subject to market fluctuations, and typical usage for a household can range between 15 to 30 megajoules (MJ) per day. On average, households could expect annual running costs for gas hot water systems to be around $250 to $400, depending on the efficiency of the model and local gas rates.

Instantaneous gas hot water systems are typically more efficient than gas storage systems, as they heat water only when needed. However, higher usage can increase operational costs.

For updated energy rates, check Queensland’s Energy Made Easy website: Energy Made Easy. It helps compare gas suppliers and tariffs to estimate more precise running costs based on your location and provider.

Yes, gas hot water systems are generally cheaper to run than electric systems, especially when considering long-term operating costs.

Gas hot water systems typically have lower operating costs compared to electric hot water systems, particularly in areas where natural gas is readily available. Gas is more efficient at heating water and can provide instant hot water, reducing energy waste. Instantaneous gas systems, for instance, only heat water when needed, which further lowers energy consumption compared to electric storage systems that maintain water temperature throughout the day.

However, the upfront installation costs of gas systems can be higher, and prices can fluctuate based on gas tariffs in Queensland. Electric systems, on the other hand, may cost more to run, especially if not paired with solar power or off-peak electricity rates.

In 2024, electricity prices in Queensland are higher than gas prices on average, but electric heat pump systems offer better energy efficiency compared to traditional electric systems.

The life expectancy of a gas hot water system is typically around 10 to 15 years, depending on maintenance and usage conditions.

Gas hot water systems generally have a shorter lifespan compared to electric systems, but with regular maintenance, such as flushing the tank (for storage systems) and checking for gas leaks, they can last up to 15 years. Factors like water quality, system type (instantaneous or storage), and the frequency of use can impact how long the system lasts.

In Queensland, environmental factors such as hard water or high mineral content can contribute to wear and tear, especially in gas storage systems, which can lead to earlier replacement. Regular servicing by a licensed gas plumber, as required under Queensland’s Gas Supply Act 2003, can help prolong the system’s life.

For more details on gas hot water maintenance and expected longevity, you can refer to guidelines from Standards Australia for gas installations: AS/NZS 5601.1:2022.
