Why Go Gas?
Energy Efficiency
First and foremost, one of the most compelling reasons to choose a gas water heater in New Zealand is its efficiency. Gas water heaters, whether they are natural gas or LPG, tend to heat water much faster than electric hot water cylinders.
For a household with a high demand for hot water, especially during New Zealand’s colder months, this can be a major advantage, ensuring you always have not water when you need it.
Additionally, even in the event of a power outage, most gas water heaters will continue to operate, ensuring that you have access to hot water at all times (unlike with electric hot water cylinders).
Cost Effectiveness
Another reason to opt for a gas water heater is the cost-effectiveness. Although the upfront cost of a gas heater may be a bit higher than an electric hot water cylinder, the operating costs are often significantly lower.
This is because LPG and natural gas are generally cheaper than electricity in New Zealand, especially given the rising electricity costs in recent years. Over the lifetime of the water heater, this cost difference will often result in considerable savings, making gas water heaters a very good economical investment for the long term.
Environmentally Friendly
Lastly, when compared to coal-generated electricity, natural gas is a cleaner-burning fossil fuel, producing less harmful emissions and reducing the environmental impact.
To add to that, advancements in technology have led to the development of condensing gas water heaters, which are even more efficient and environmentally friendly. For those concerned about their carbon footprint, a gas water heater is a step in the right direction.
How to Chose the Right Gas Water Heater for Your Home
If you are looking to upgrade to a gas heater or install a new gas heater on your property, here are some things you need to consider.
Size of the Water Heater
Firstly, you need to consider the size of the gas water heater, which is determined by your household’s hot water needs.
This is typically calculated using the ‘First Hour Rating’ (FHR) which estimates how much hot water the heater can provide in the first hour of usage. For instance, a family of four will typically require an FHR of approximately 340-380 liters. However, this could vary depending on individual lifestyles and peak water usage times.
Energy Efficiency
Secondly, consider the energy efficiency of the unit. Energy Factor (EF) is a measure that indicates the energy efficiency of a water heater. The higher the EF, the more efficient the heater is.
More efficient heaters may cost more upfront but will save money in the long run due to reduced operating costs. Look for models with a high EF rating and those certified with an Energy Star, indicating that the model meets or exceeds energy efficiency standards.
Type of Gas Water Heater
Finally, consider the type of gas water heater. There are two main types: tankless and storage tank heaters.
Tankless (instantaneous) heaters heat water directly without the use of a storage tank and are more energy-efficient since they eliminate the standby heat losses that come with storage water heaters. They also take up next to no room since they are only a small unit. However, they provide a limited flow of hot water per minute, which may not keep up with your demands.
On the other hand, storage tank heaters have a ready reservoir of hot water and can serve multiple outlets at once, but may consume more energy due to standby heat loss which requires them to heat the water more. They also take up more room, since you need to install the storage cylinder somewhere which is often quite large.
Remember to also take into account the cost of installation and maintenance, as well as the product warranty. You will also want to consider factors such as the availability of natural gas or LPG in your area and the design of your home.
