If you're considering upgrading your water heating system, a gas califont—also known as a continuous flow gas hot water heater—might be the perfect solution. At Mount Maunganui Plumbing & Gas, we specialize in supplying, installing, and maintaining gas califonts to ensure you enjoy reliable, energy-efficient hot water for years to come. But is it the right choice for you? Let’s explore the benefits and considerations to help you decide.
Gas califonts heat water only when you need it, unlike traditional storage tanks that continuously expend energy to keep water warm. This on-demand approach reduces energy waste and can significantly lower your energy bills over time.
Compact and wall-mounted, gas califonts free up valuable floor space, making them an ideal choice for homes with limited room or for outdoor installations.
Heating water with gas is typically cheaper than using electricity. While natural gas is usually the most economical option, LPG is another popular choice, offering flexibility for homes not connected to a gas line.
With proper maintenance, a gas califont can provide years of uninterrupted service. Unlike traditional tanks, you won’t run out of hot water halfway through a shower—gas califonts heat water continuously as it flows.
Modern gas califonts allow you to set your desired water temperature, providing comfort and safety while minimizing energy usage.
No more waiting for a tank to refill or reheat! Gas califonts deliver hot water on demand, ensuring it’s available whenever you need it.
While gas califonts offer many advantages, there are some factors to consider to ensure it meets your needs.
Gas califonts have a limited flow rate, which means their performance may dip if multiple hot water outlets are used simultaneously. Choosing the right-sized unit for your household is crucial to prevent interruptions.
Natural gas is generally more affordable but comes with a monthly service charge. If you opt for LPG bottles, keep in mind that running costs may vary depending on your usage.
For safety and efficiency, a gas califont must be installed by a certified professional. At Mount Maunganui Plumbing & Gas, our experienced team ensures your unit is compliant with all regulations and performs optimally.
Selecting the correct size for your gas califont is essential. A unit that's too small may not meet your household's hot water demands, while an oversized unit could cost more to operate than necessary. We can help assess your needs and recommend the best solution.
A gas califont is a smart investment for those looking to save energy, reduce their carbon footprint, and enjoy the convenience of instant hot water. However, it’s important to weigh your household’s specific requirements and consider factors such as installation costs, flow rate, and fuel type.
At Mount Maunganui Plumbing & Gas, we offer expert advice, professional installation, and reliable maintenance services to help you get the most out of your gas water heating system. If you’re ready to make the switch or simply want to learn more, contact us today!
