Big vs Small hot water systems: which should you choose?
The size of your hot water system depends entirely on the desired outcome you want from the system and the available space in your home. Everyday Plumbing have been providing hot water systems to Sydney's main suburbs for many years and there has been a considerable rise in small under sink hot water system installations in beach side units in places like Cronulla.
What makes this hot water system type so popular is the fact it can fit in small apartments that don't have a lot of space or the option of backyard installation. A small hot water system works in the same way as it’s bigger counterparts however this smaller option allows for easy convenient storage under the sink or on the wall.

Do small hot water systems come in every type of hot water system?
While there are quite a few types of hot water systems on the market today such as electric, gas and solar hot water, only electric hot water heaters can be fitted into a small space. Gas and solar hot water systems will reduce running costs and save energy, however they are much bulkier and require a large amount of space to be installed. An electric storage or electric instant water heating system is definitely the best way to go for the convenience of fast hot water in a limited space.
Not only does Everyday Plumbing do expert installations and repairs, we also give great advice. It can get a bit confusing when trying to find the right instant water heater for you, which is why we’re happy to talk you through your options.
