Choosing the right gas hot water system can significantly impact your home’s comfort and energy efficiency. At Kalco Plumbing, we specialise in a wide range of gas hot water solutions, from conventional storage tanks to modern continuous flow systems.
Storage Systems vs. Continuous Flow Systems
Storage Systems are traditional gas hot water systems equipped with a tank where water is heated and stored until needed. They’re ideal for households with high water usage, as they can supply multiple points of use simultaneously. Advantages include the ability to provide hot water during peak usage times without the wait. Disadvantages involve higher energy costs due to heat loss from the tank, and they require space for the tank. They are more suited for larger households.
Continuous Flow Systems, also known as tankless or instant hot water systems, heat water on demand, providing an endless supply of hot water. Advantages include higher energy efficiency, as there’s no energy lost in storing hot water, and their compact size, making them suitable for homes with limited space. However, they may struggle to supply hot water to multiple points simultaneously, which can be a disadvantage in larger households. These systems are best for smaller families or those with lower hot water demand.
Our team is here to guide you through selecting the perfect system that aligns with your household needs, preferences, and budget.
