Building energy smart homes – benefits of heating water with gas

The generation and storage of hot water makes up approximately 40% of an average Australian home’s energy costs, which can make the choice between gas or electric hot water systems a difficult one.

Gas hot water systems have a significant impact on reducing consumers’ monthly energy bills due to a reduction in thermal loss and operation costs. The saving for the average household consumer is up to $851 every year.

Other appealing benefits of natural gas hot water systems are, the reduction in emissions by approximately 70% and the availability of continuous flow (instantaneous) systems. This makes gas hot water the more environmentally friendly and reliable option for consumers.
