Gas Hot Water Systems
What is a gas hot water system?
A gas hot water system is a standard hot water system that uses gas to heat the hot water. Gas hot water systems have a pilot light, whereas electric hot water systems do not. Quite simply, gas water heaters heat the water within the hot water system by burning the gas (either LPG or Natural gas, depending on the system type) in a covered burner which is at the base of the hot water system. The heater exhausts the produced heat into the dwelling space and thus provides you with hot water. A gas hot water system is available as a storage unit, or as an instantaneous unit – you can even boost your solar hot water system with gas to provide added support.
Why choose a gas hot water system?
Gas hot water systems are becoming more and more popular for a number of reasons. When compared with electric hot water systems, there is a less environmental effect when using a gas system. In addition to this, the cost to run a gas hot water system over time is much less expensive than the cost of running an electric system. Gas hot water systems also tend to heat water faster than an electric system, which is another reason why they are increasing in popularity.
