Commercial Plumber Top Benefits of Gas Water Heating for Wellington Homes | Laser Plumbing Wellington East
Choosing the right water heating system is essential for energy efficiency, comfort, and long-term savings. In Wellington’s varied climate, gas water heating offers a reliable, cost-effective, and environmentally friendly solution. At Laser Plumbing Wellington East, we help homeowners switch from electric systems to gas water heaters that deliver better performance and value.
Why Consider Gas Water Heating?
Heating water accounts for roughly 20% of a typical household’s energy bill. Switching to a gas water heater can reduce this cost significantly. Whether you use natural gas or LPG, gas systems heat water faster than electric ones, and continuous flow models ensure hot water is always available when you need it.
There are two main types of gas water heating systems:
- Gas Continuous Flow Water Heaters
- Gas Storage Cylinders
Key Benefits of Gas Water Heating
- Energy Efficiency
Gas water heaters, especially continuous flow models, are more energy-efficient than traditional electric water heaters. They only heat water when needed, which eliminates standby heat loss common in storage systems. - Unlimited Hot Water Supply
Continuous flow units, such as the Rinnai INFINITY® A-Series or EF High Efficiency models, provide endless hot water on demand. This is ideal for families or homes with multiple bathrooms. - Lower Operating Costs
While initial installation may require a professional plumber, gas water heaters generally cost less to run over time compared to electric systems. This makes them a smart investment for budget-conscious households. - Space Saving and Safety
External gas water heaters are compact and installed outside the home, freeing up valuable indoor space and improving household safety. Rheem Stellar and Rinnai INFINITY systems are popular external units for Wellington homes. - Environmentally Friendly
Gas emits fewer carbon emissions than electricity generated from coal. Choosing a high-efficiency gas water heating system helps reduce your home’s carbon footprint. - Custom Temperature Control
Gas water heaters can be fitted with controllers for specific areas like the kitchen or bathroom. These controllers allow you to set water temperatures, improving safety and convenience. Some models offer enhanced warranties when controllers are installed.
Many Wellington homeowners are replacing aging electric models like the Rheem Mains Pressure and Stanley low pressure cylinders with modern gas systems. Popular replacement options include:
- Rinnai INFINITY® A-Series (External Continuous Flow)
- Rinnai INFINITY® EF Series (High Efficiency)
- Rheem Stellar Gas Storage Water Heater
These models are known for durability, energy savings, and reliable hot water supply.
