Gas hot water systems offer a cost-effective and energy-efficient solution for households of any size. Compared to electricity, they can lead to significant savings on your power bills, tailored to your specific needs.
Choosing the right hot water system involves several important considerations. At Upside Down Plumbing, we’re committed to providing guidance every step of the way. Factors to weigh when selecting a gas water heater include:
- Household size and hot water usage
- Timing of hot water usage
- Appliance usage (e.g., dishwasher, washing machine)
- Installation of water-saving fixtures
Making this decision doesn’t have to be overwhelming. Simply reach out to Upside Down Plumbing, and our plumbing/gas fitting experts will present you with the optimal options for your home.
What Gas Hot Water Units are Available?
Gas hot water systems come in two primary types: continuous flow (or instantaneous) and storage tank. Both variants can operate on mains natural gas, although some may run on bottled LPG (liquid petroleum gas), albeit less commonly.
An instantaneous hot water system is typically mounted on the wall. Water heats up as it passes through internal pipes, delivering hot water on demand. This setup proves to be cost-effective and is particularly suitable for smaller households or those prioritising energy efficiency. Compared to electric storage tank models, the savings are immediately noticeable.
On the other hand, a gas storage tank hot water system requires more space but offers a larger supply, making it ideal for bigger households. It remains an energy-efficient alternative to its electric counterpart, especially if natural gas is readily available.
Regardless of the type of gas hot water system you have or your location, Upside Down Plumbing is ready to assist with repairs, maintenance, or installation. Our team of plumbing experts ensures that your gas hot water system operates at peak performance.
Common Problems with Gas Hot Water Systems
Typically, a well-maintained gas hot water system boasts a lifespan of 8 to 12 years. Some systems even surpass the two-decade mark, although over such an extended period, certain common issues may arise.
Regular maintenance is crucial for identifying and addressing these potential problems. We highly recommend scheduling routine check-ups to ensure optimal performance. If you encounter any of the following issues, don’t hesitate to reach out to Upside Down Plumbing:
- Sudden loss of hot water
- Fluctuations in water temperature
- Discoloured or rusty water
- Unusual noises emanating from the tank (e.g., banging)
- Leakage or tank rupture
- Persistent pilot light extinguishing
- Unexplained spikes in gas bills

Our commitment ensures that you always have access to hot water, even during those late-night calls. Say goodbye to waking up to a cold shower!
However, there comes a time when change is necessary. While it may be tempting to stick with the same model when your old gas hot water system malfunctions, there are compelling reasons to consider an upgrade.
Newer gas hot water systems boast enhanced efficiency compared to their older counterparts, translating to long-term savings. Moreover, they align with environmental sustainability goals, making them a greener choice for your home.
