Whether you’re running multiple showers in the morning or doing the dishes, gas hot water systems ensure you have a steady supply whenever you need it.

Flexible hot water options

Gas hot water systems come in a variety of options to suit different household needs:

• Continuous flow systems: Also known as tankless or instantaneous systems, continuous flow gas water heaters heat water as you use it. This ensures you only use energy when hot water is required, making it an efficient choice for busy households. These systems are compact and can be installed in small spaces, making them a versatile option for many homes.
• Gas cylinders: If you prefer a storage solution, gas cylinders provide a reliable option. These systems store heated water in a tank, ensuring you have a reserve ready for use at any time. Gas cylinders heat water quickly and maintain it at a consistent temperature so you’re always prepared.
