Traditional cylinders and continuous gas hot water systems
At Wright Plumbing & Drainage we offer repairs and installations for the two most common choices when it comes to hot water heating.
Electric hot water cylinders heat water using an electric element and are one of the most common ways of heating hot water in residential and commercial buildings. They are simple to install and generally reliable but can have issues and older cylinders can be inefficient. We can carry out hot water cylinder repairs or install a new cylinder if required. We are also the local service agents for The Cylinder Guy in Dunedin.
Gas continuous flow water heaters, also known as instant or 'Infinity' gas, give you hot water when you want it. Gas hot water systems come on and heat water on demand as it passes through a heat exchanger so you don't risk running out of hot water throughout the day. They are energy efficient and smaller than traditional cylinders which makes them a good option for smaller spaces.
Heat Pump Water Heater: Heat pump water heaters extract heat from the surrounding air and transfer it to the water in the storage tank. They are highly energy-efficient, particularly in warmer climates, and can significantly reduce electricity consumption compared to traditional electric water heaters.
Heat Transfer System: Heat transfer systems use a heat exchanger to transfer excess heat from a wood burner or fireplace to a hot water cylinder. They are a cost-effective option for homes with existing wood-fired heating systems and can help reduce energy bills by utilising waste heat.
Main CO2 Hot Water Heating: Main CO2 hot water heating systems use carbon dioxide as a heat transfer medium to heat the water. They offer energy efficiency and reduced environmental impact compared to traditional heating methods and are gaining popularity in New Zealand because they are a sustainable option.
