Electric hot water systems
Electric systems are inefficient and relatively expensive to run. For this reason they are generally only favoured these days where no alternative is possible.

Solar hot water systems
Solar boosted systems are solar-based systems that use a gas or electricity booster to maintain a sufficient temperature, regardless of how much sun...
Is gas available?
Gas, as perhaps the cheapest fuel source apart from solar, is well worth considering when looking for a hot water system. See how the...
Heat pump hot water systems
Heat pump hot water systems extract heat from the air using a heat exchanger. These systems are popular where solar and gas aren't a...
Home fuel cell (HFC) hot water systems
Home fuel cells create a lot of heat and in most cases incorporate a hot water system. HFCs are still prohibitively expensive though, and...
Geothermal hot water systems
Geothermal systems pump refrigerant through underground pipes to draw heat from the ground. While relatively cheap to run, they are expensive to install and...
Continuous flow hot water systems
Continuous flow hot water systems are an efficient choice for households with 3 or fewer people. Most of them run on natural gas but...
Storage tank hot water systems
Tank storage hot water systems are ideal for larger households. These systems can easily be used (or even adapted) to support a wide range...
Tank/tankless hybrid hot water systems
While still a relatively new type of hot water system, hybrid tank/tankless systems offer the best of both types of systems to efficiently provide...
Temperature controllers
These devices allow you to automatically set the exact temperature of water from a given tap, and in some cases even to specify to...
