Natural gas is cleaner, smarter, and more reliable than other energy options – it reduces a home’s dependence on the power grid, affording homeowners more peace of mind. In particular, natural gas is a standout choice when it comes to hot water appliances, which is important when you consider water heating generally accounts for one third of a home’s energy use.

Why choose natural gas for hot water over other alternatives? For one, natural gas is typically more affordable than your normal electric hot water systems and also better value than LPG equivalents. Plus, unlike electricity, natural gas rates don't change at peak times of day. In addition, natural gas hot water systems are highly efficient, easy to maintain (both in terms of operation and temperature – think perfectly controlled temperature at your fingertips), and quick to recover – all up ensuring superior performance.

From storage systems perfect for large family homes with multiple bathrooms to continuous flow systems especially well-suited for townhouses and medium- to high-density living, there's a natural gas hot water system for every type of home and household. Want to keep solar in the home’s energy mix? Natural gas makes that easy, as continuous flow systems and the sun are the perfect partners, since they can be used as a 'solar booster' to increase the water temperature on days of lower solar gain, without relying on electricity.
