Choosing the right hot water system is one of the most important decisions for Mandurah homeowners. The right system ensures efficiency, reliability, and long-term savings. With expert guidance from Aquasonic Plumbing & Gas, you can compare the options and select the system best suited to your household’s needs. 

Tank Systems

How They Work: Store heated water in an insulated tank, ready for use.
Pros:

• Lower upfront cost

• Simple installation

• Reliable for households with steady demand
  Cons:

• Limited capacity — once the tank runs out, you wait for reheating

• Higher ongoing energy use, as water is heated constantly

Tankless (Instant) Systems

How They Work: Heat water on demand, with no storage tank.
Pros:

• Endless hot water supply

• Space-saving design

• Lower standby energy costs
  Cons:

• Higher upfront investment

• May struggle if multiple showers/appliances run at once

Solar & Hybrid Systems

How They Work: Solar panels heat water directly or assist an electric/gas booster. Hybrid models combine solar with heat pump technology.
Pros:

• Significant energy savings in sunny Mandurah climate

• Lower environmental impact

• Government rebates may apply
  Cons:

• Higher upfront cost

• Performance affected on cloudy days — often requires backup heating

Heat Pump Systems

How They Work: Extract heat from the air to warm water efficiently.
Pros:

• Highly energy efficient

• Works well in Mandurah’s mild climate

• Lower running costs than traditional electric systems
  Cons:

• Higher purchase cost

• Requires outdoor space for the unit

• Slightly noisier operation

Factors to Consider

• Climate: Mandurah’s sunny conditions favour solar and heat pump systems.

• Usage: Larger families may need a bigger tank or continuous flow system.

• Cost: Weigh upfront installation against long-term energy savings.

• Space: Small homes may benefit from tankless units, while larger homes suit tanks or hybrids.
