Victorian hot water

Heating water can make up a quarter of your energy usage, so it’s important

to get a system that suits you and your budget. Water heating is a process of

thermodynamic that uses energy source to heat the water above its initial

temperature.

Such appliances that provide a continual supply of Victorian hot water are

of great use in both domestic and industrial life. There are various Victorian

hot water systems available. Since Victorian hot water usage may account

for up to 20% of annual energy use, it's important to choose the most

appropriate system to save the money and the environment.

Victorian hot water system solutions:

Storage water heaters:

Electric storage

Gas storage

Solar:

Closed coupled (Hi line) roof mounted system

Split system (Lo line) or ground-mounted tank

Heat pumps

Storage water heaters

Storage water heaters store and heat water in a tank that usually sits on

ground level or outside. The tanks work on mains pressure or a gravity-feed

system to supply Victorian hot water as you need it. Usually you can use

more than one tap without your water

pressure being affected.

Storage tanks may be made of copper,

glass (enamel) lined steel or stainless

steel. Copper and glass-lined tanks

usually have an anode, which should be

replaced every few years to reduce tank

corrosion.

Gas storage

Gas or electricity systems can be designed to boost your solar water heater.

They act as a back up so you always have Victorian hot water.

Advantages of gas storage Victorian hot water systems:

They produce less carbon emissions than electric water

heaters.

They have faster heat recovery times, needing only a small

tank as gas is available 24 hours a day.

They are cheaper to run as ongoing electric Victorian hot

water system prices can be high.

The initial gas Victorian hot water system cost can be recovered

through the ongoing savings.

Electric storage

Electric systems heat water with an element inside the tank, like a kettle.

When powered using mainland grid power in Australia, they are

responsible for more carbon emissions than any other water heater and are

being phased out of homes

The average household uses their water heater many times, every day. For

that reason it’s important you select the most effective and energy-efficient

water heater for your needs.

Solar

Solar Victorian hot water systems use roof-mounted solar collectors to

absorb the sun’s energy and heat water flowing to a storage tank.

Depending on your climate in summer, solar can provide up to 90% or

more of your Victorian hot water free - and without carbon emissions.

Initially they cost more to install, but can save you energy and reduce bills.

Heat pumps

Heat pumps offer the most energy-efficient way to provide heating and

cooling as they use renewable heat sources from our surroundings.

Although they are mostly used in warmer climates, even in cool

temperatures, air, ground and water contain useful heat that's continuously

restored by the sun.
