Hot water heaters run on various fuel types. The four main types of fuel are solar boosted, natural gas, heat pump and electric.

1.      Solar Boosted Hot Water

This is one of the most efficient and cost effective hot water systems available. These systems are boosted by either gas or electricity, but get the majority of their energy from the sun.

2.      Natural Gas Hot Water

Natural gas is the next best cost effective option. These types of systems use natural gas as fuel, and are generally best for households of four or more people.

3.      Heat Pump Hot Water

Heat pumps use electricity for power, so they rank lower for cost effectiveness. If gas and solar are not an option, this is the next best system.

4.      Electric Hot Water

Electric systems are not very efficient and run on electricity from non-renewable sources. These cost the most in terms of electricity bills, and also produce the most greenhouse gas emissions.
