Gas Hot Water Systems Explained
Gas hot water systems use a gas burner to heat water either on demand or in a storage tank. The two main types are instantaneous (continuous flow) systems that heat water as you use it, and storage tank systems that maintain a ready supply of hot water. Both natural gas and LPG options are available for Hobart properties. Gas systems offer significant advantages over electric, including faster heating, lower running costs, and the ability to provide instant, continuous hot water even during power outages.
Benefits of Gas Hot Water in Hobart
Gas hot water systems deliver exceptional performance for Tasmanian households. You’ll enjoy instant, continuous hot water supply with no waiting for recovery, lower running costs compared to electric systems, and fast heating times that make gas ideal for high-demand households. Gas systems work reliably in all weather conditions and produce reduced greenhouse emissions compared to electric hot water heated by fossil fuel grid electricity. With proper maintenance, gas systems provide long, dependable service and energy-efficient operation that keeps your bills down while ensuring your family never runs out of hot water.

Gas Hot Water Brands We Install
We work with most major gas hot water brands and can help you select the right system for your property. Our extensive experience with leading manufacturers means we understand which systems offer the best reliability, performance, and warranties. Whether you’re looking for instantaneous continuous flow systems or storage tank models, we’ll recommend the gas solution that best matches your household’s hot water demand, available space, and budget.
Instantaneous vs Storage Gas Hot Water
Instantaneous (continuous flow) gas systems heat water on demand, providing endless hot water and requiring minimal space. They’re ideal for households with high, unpredictable hot water usage. Storage gas systems maintain a tank of pre-heated water, offering lower upfront costs and simpler installation. The best choice depends on your household size, usage patterns, and available space. Instantaneous systems generally have lower running costs for larger households, while storage systems can be more economical for smaller homes with predictable usage. Our experienced team can assess your needs and recommend the optimal solution.
Gas vs Other Hot Water Systems
Compared to electric hot water systems, gas offers significantly lower running costs and faster recovery times. While solar and heat pump systems can provide excellent long-term savings, they can require higher upfront investment and suitable property conditions. Gas systems excel for properties with existing gas connections, households with high hot water demand, and situations where instant, continuous supply is essential. The lower running costs compared to electric make gas an economical choice, particularly for larger families. Gas also works independently of weather conditions, unlike solar systems that depend on sunlight.
Maintaining Your Gas Hot Water System
Annual servicing by licensed gas fitters is essential for safe, efficient operation of your gas hot water system. Regular maintenance includes checking for gas leaks and inefficiencies, inspecting and cleaning the burner, replacing the anode rod in storage systems, and testing safety devices. Howrah Plumbing’s gas maintenance services ensure your system operates safely and efficiently, preventing costly breakdowns and extending your system’s lifespan. Proper maintenance also helps maintain manufacturer warranties and ensures compliance with safety regulations.
