If you’re currently thinking about having a hot water system installed in your house, you’re in safe hands. Green Planet Plumbing can brief you on everything you need to know about hot water systems and advise you on selecting a hot water unit that best fits your property and needs.

Hot Water Systems and How They Work

A hot water system consists of water-heating or water-cooling components. They also consist of heat-emitting elements like baseboards, convectors and radiators, that control the temperature of your water straight from the mains. Your property’s internal piping system connects the heat source to the heat-emitting units and your hot water system will then process your water so that it flows through your system at the temperature you select.

Types of Hot Water System

There are two main types of hot water systems: continuous systems and storage systems:
  • Continuous water systems
These are usually gas powered, but you can sometimes find electric models too. This water system only heats water when it is required.
  • Storage water systems
These systems are usually electric or solar water heater type. They pre-heat your water and store it in an insulated tank so that your hot water can flow on-demand without you needing to wait for that short while before the water temperature reaches the level you requested.

How Does a Storage Tank Hot Water System Work?

In storage or tank hot water systems, there is a heating element at the bottom of the water heating unit which keeps your water warm so that it can be readily available whenever you need it.

How Does a Continuous Hot Water System Work?

In continuous hot water systems, a heating element is connected to the pipes which heats your water as it passes through, but you generally have to wait for a short while before you get your desired water temperature. You can power your water heater by gas, electric or solar.
