Working With Hot Water Systems in Wollongong

Hot water systems are devices that heat and distribute water for domestic or commercial use. They're typically installed in a central location, such as a basement or utility room, and are connected to plumbing fixtures, such as sinks, showers and washing machines, through a network of pipes.

At Burgos Plumbing, we install, maintain, repair and replace hot water systems to keep up with clients' needs. Your system should always be operating efficiently, otherwise running costs will begin to outweigh the price of installing a new one. Our plumbers can inspect your hot water system to see if it’s running as it should, then let you know whether repairs or replacement will be more cost-effective.

If you'd like us to assess your hot water system, call 0421 567 427. Based in Corrimal, we service Wollongong, Shellharbour and Bowral.

When choosing a hot water system, it's important to consider factors such as the size of the property, hot water demand and available energy sources. Common hot water systems include:

• Conventional storage tank systems: Consists of a large tank that stores hot water and a heating element to keep the water at a constant temperature. When hot water is needed, it is distributed from the tank through a network of pipes to plumbing fixtures.
• Tankless or on-demand systems: Heats water on demand as it flows through the pipes, rather than storing it in a tank. When hot water is needed, the system heats it up quickly and delivers it to the plumbing fixtures.
• Heat pump systems: Uses electricity to transfer heat to the water. The heat pump extracts heat from the air or ground and uses it to warm a refrigerant, which then raises the water temperature.
• Solar hot water systems: Uses solar panels to absorb energy from the sun and heat the water. The panels are typically installed on the roof of the building and transfer the heat to a water storage tank.
