Hot Water Rebates
These rebates reduce the cost of installing a new heater by up to 80% which makes it well worth the investment of a few hundred dollars.
If you have an old electric hot water system we highly recommend that you take advantage of the government rebates before they expire as these reap the largest savings of all and it is only a matter of time before it comes to the end of its lifespan.
Gas Hot Water Systems - Safety First
Here are some important safety tips to remember:
-
Make sure your water heater is serviced once a year by an authorised gas service agent.
-
Make sure your bathroom and kitchen heaters have unobstructed ventilation.
-
Keep a written report of any maintenance work undertaken and be sure you receive a Certificate of Compliance from the authorised gas service agent.
-
Look out for any signs of discolouration of the water heater or the walls near the heater, as this can indicate dangerous problems with the heater or its flue.
-
Make sure heater flue pipes are free from all restrictions and holes.
-
Disconnect exhaust fans in bathrooms with gas water heaters.
-
Make sure that all new and replacement gas water heaters are installed outside the building.
Dangerous Gas Hot Water Systems
Gas water heaters that have not been properly maintained have been responsible for deaths and serious injuries. If you have a gas bath heater or flued instantaneous water heater in your bathroom or a flueless water heater in your kitchen like any of the appliances shown here (see diagram) it could be a source of danger.
If you have a water heater in your bathroom disconnect the exhaust fans to avoid circulating poisonous fumes.
The potential risk
If ventilation is obstructed in either a flued or flueless water heater, poisonous fumes such as carbon monoxide can be forced back into the room contaminating the air you breathe. As carbon monoxide is colourless, odourless and tasteless, you will be unaware of its presence.
Reducing the risk
The easiest way to reduce the risk is to replace the heater with a new, safer and more energy efficient heater, located outside the building. If you decide to do this, use an authorised gas service agent to carry out the work.
Make sure your water heater (indoor or outdoor) is serviced once a year by a licensed gas fitter.
IMPORTANT:
If you can smell gas inside your home call 000
