Advancements in hot water technology mean you can now choose from a huge range of hot water systems Brisbane. S&J Plumbing is equipped to install, service and repair any of the following systems:
- Electric Hot Water – These are the most common household hot water systems Brisbane wide. Water is stored in an insulated tank and heated by an electric element in the bottom of the unit. Electric hot water systems are affordable to buy and install, but they are generally more expensive to run.
- Gas Hot Water – Gas hot water systems come in two types: instantaneous and gas-heated water tanks. Instantaneous gas hot water offers excellent efficiency and hot water on-demand. Gas-heated water tanks are becoming less common due to their high running costs and inefficiency in cold climates. S&J Plumbing are skilled gasfitters Brisbane wide, and our team is happy to help with the installation of new gas hot water systems.
- Heat Pump Hot Water – Heat pump hot water systems are a newer technology and a popular choice around Australia. They work similarly to reverse-cycle air conditioning and use heat from the air to warm the water. This makes them incredibly efficient, and they can use as little as 30% of the power of conventional electric hot water systems in Brisbane.
- Solar Hot Water – Solar hot water turns energy from the sun into heated water year-round. Special panels on your roof capture sunlight and use it to heat water that’s stored in an insulated tank. Most solar hot water systems are also backed up by a gas or electric heating element to keep things toasty in the colder months. With mild winters and long summers, solar hot water systems Brisbane are a highly efficient option.
Choosing the Right Hot Water System
Hot water systems aren’t a one-size-fits-all solution. The best system depends on your budget, the size of your family and how much hot water you’re using. For example, instantaneous gas heaters are efficient and effective, but they cost more up front. Meanwhile, electric water heaters are affordable, but their efficiency is low and they aren’t suitable for every property.
The S&J Plumbing team provides a full consultation to figure out which hot water system is the right choice for you. We can help select hot water systems Brisbane wide. We’ll work with you to consider your budget and usage requirements, and we’ll ensure the unit is sized correctly for your family.

This process means you’ll end up with a cost-effective and energy-efficient water heater that meets your requirements for hot water systems Brisbane.

What Size Hot Water System Do I Need?
S&J Plumbing offers hot water installation Brisbane wide. We’ve helped hundreds of families and business owners select the right system for their property. Regardless of the type of hot water system you choose, you need to make sure it has a large enough capacity to provide the water you need.
If you choose tank-type hot water systems Brisbane, you need to consider the size of the holding tank. It needs to store enough water to service your property during the most demanding parts of the day. A 4 person household would need:
- An electric hot water system with a 150L+ tank
- A gas hot water system with a 170L+ tank
- A solar hot water system with a 300L+ tank
Tankless hot water systems are a great alternative for many homes and businesses. If you go with a tankless design, you need to calculate how much water flows through the system. On average, a 4 person household would need a tankless hot water system with a 20L per minute flow rate. If you’re unsure how to choose the right size hot water system, contact S&J Plumbing. Our expert team can provide a consultation to help determine the hot water systems Brisbane properties need.

Plumbing FAQs
Below are our most frequently asked questions about hot water systems.
Hot water systems are very reliable, but they are prone to common issues like faulty thermostats, leaking pipes, stuck valves and build ups of minerals. Any of these issues can cause hot water systems Brisbane to malfunction. You may notice symptoms like inconsistent water temperatures, discoloured water supply or leaks around the storage tank.
Electric hot water systems last between 10 to 15 years. Gas hot water systems last approximately 10 years. Heat pump water heaters are generally expected to last 10 years or more. You can prolong the life of your unit by having your hot water systems Brisbane serviced by a licensed plumber on a yearly basis.
A professional plumber will perform a visual inspection, drain the water in the tank, check the anode and test the thermostat. These simple checks are all it takes to ensure hot water systems work better and last longer.
The type of hot water system you choose depends on the design of your home, the size of your family and how much hot water you use. Electric tank heaters are common and affordable, but they aren’t very energy efficient. Heat pumps, solar and on-demand gas heaters are far more energy-efficient, but they often cost more up front. You’ll need to compare your budget to your usage requirements and select the water heater that offers the best value for your family.
Solar, tankless gas heaters and heat pump hot water systems are the most energy-efficient options available. Each type of heater uses less power than the electric hot water systems Brisbane homes are familiar with. The most efficient system depends on your home. If you have access to a reliable gas supply then a tankless heater may be the best option. But, if you are generating solar power, or if you live in a warm area, heat pumps or solar hot water systems may be more energy efficient.
