Your Property’s Water Heating System: Pros and Cons

Trying to decide how to heat the water in your home? Whether you realized it or not, there are options based on your home type that could be more suitable than others. With the help of Proptery24, we are able to specifically look at the differences between a solar geyser heating system and heat pumps.

There are many factors involved in deciding which heating system is right for your home. You want to think about the amount of water the system will need to provide, the space and budget available, as well as the climate in the region your home is located. For example, one major benefit of using a solar geyser system is that it “can provide sufficient hot water, regardless of weather conditions and water quality.”

While multiple advantages and disadvantages come with the installation of each water heating system, today we are only going to highlight a few:

Solar Geyser

Pros

• This type of heating system provides uses free and renewable energy. 
• A solar geyser can save you up to 90 percent of your family’s water heating costs. 

Cons

• There are high upfront investment and installation costs associated with this heating system. 
• Routine maintenance is needed. 

Heat Pumps

Pros

• Heat pumps can be stored in a small space. 
• This heating system uses electricity, which means you are guaranteed to have hot water at all times. 

Cons

• Heat pumps can be noisy. 
• The system becomes less efficient if the hard water is not softened. 

Keep in mind that the maintenance needed for heat pumps requires a plumber that truly is qualified and can do the job right. Call New York Plumber or visit us on Facebook with more questions or concerns.
