Different hot water systems suit different needs, and the type you choose will depend both on your demand for hot water, and what sorts of fuels are available.Broadly speaking, in most cases you'll be choosing between a hot water system fuelled by solar energy, electricity, natural gas, LPG or geothermal energy - or a combination of these fuels.
Most homes in Australia are also likely to use either a continuous flow hot water system (i.e. a tankless or instantaneous system) or a storage tank system - and possibly some enhancements to make your system either more convenient or more efficient.
