What Types of Gas Hot Water Systems Are Available?

These are traditional systems that heat and store a tank of hot water, ready for use throughout your home.

    • Reliable consistent hot water supply

    • Works well with larger households

Cons:

    • Takes up more space

    • Heat loss over time

Best for: Homes with higher simultaneous usage (bath + laundry + dishwasher).


2. Continuous Flow (Instant) Gas Systems

Heats water as you need it — no storage tank required.

Pros:

    • Hot water on demand

    • More energy efficient

    • Smaller footprint

Cons:

    • Higher upfront cost

    • May need larger gas supply for bigger homes

Great choice for: Smaller homes, families focused on long-term energy savings.


Performance Considerations for Noosa Homes

🌡️ Climate Impact

Noosa’s subtropical climate benefits gas systems — they perform efficiently even during our cooler winter months, delivering quick recovery times and cost-effective operation compared with electric systems.

💧 Water Usage Patterns

Review your household’s hot water habits:

    • Multiple showers in the morning?

    • Frequent laundry or dishwasher use?

    • Guests staying overnight?

These patterns help determine whether a storage tank or continuous flow system suits your needs.


Costs: What to Expect

Installation Costs

Prices vary depending on:

    • System size & type

    • Location of installation

    • Existing infrastructure

We recommend booking an onsite assessment — every property is different.
