A wide range of gas and electric hot water systems include easy-to-maintain and highly efficient alternatives for your business.

Choose the right size system for your needs

If your system is too large, you will waste money by heating more water than you need. If it's too small, running out of hot water could affect the efficiency of your business. The AGL Customer Advisory Team can provide impartial advice on the best system for your needs.

Efficient options to consider

• Install low-spray heads and electronic sensor tap controls.
• Replace hot water with high pressure cold water.
• Install your hot water system as close to the outlet as possible to minimise heat loss.
• Insulate all hot water pipes.
• For small numbers of staff, choose a kettle rather than a boiling urn.
• If you only need hot water occasionally, an instantaneous or small storage unit will use energy only when the tap is turned on.
• If your business uses more than 80 litres of hot water a day, options could include large storage, rapid reheat large storage, auto reheat and solar storage.

Fix a dripping tap

A single tap dripping at a rate of 90 drops each minute will waste around 1400 litres of water in a single month. If it's hot water, you're also literally pouring energy down the drain.

Regular service

If your hot water system is hidden away in a cupboard or under a sink it's particularly important to schedule a regular service. When it's out of sight, you may not notice if it's leaking continuously from a faulty pressure or temperature relief valve.
