Teenagers leaving you cold?

Hear from some families on how converting to gas hot water systems ended the hot water battle for them.

Action

The system was designed and installed to supply an adequate gas califont heating system and to be powered by two 45kg outdoor gas bottles.

They also replaced the three different kinds of water piping with new mains pressure pipes to improve volume and flow capabilities.

The entire switching process was easy, with the gas fitter taking care of every aspect from the supply, install, certification and consent.

It soon became apparent that the continuous flow, on-demand hot water system had bought tangible benefits, the client says.

Result

Since switching to gas hot water heating, the family have noticed:

• Instant improvement in their water pressure and flow rate.
• Showering is vastly improved and at a consistent temperature.
• Space has been reclaimed since they no longer require interior space for a hot water cylinder.
• Savings have been made on electricity use.

“We love using gas. It's easy, faster, cleaner and more cost-efficient. Yeah, we’re really happy,” They say.
