Key takeaways
- Start with the household: how many people, when they shower, and whether you run out now. Size matters as much as fuel type.
- Mains gas isn't in every street. Without it, a gas system runs on bottled LPG, so check supply before you choose.
- Heat pumps and solar use far less energy than a plain electric element, but they need the right spot: sun for solar, airflow and a quiet corner for a heat pump.
- New hot water services need a temperature control device limiting outlets to 50°C, and any gas work needs a licensed gasfitter and a compliance certificate.
