Price Range: $500 – $1,500 for storage systems or $700 – $2,000 for continuous flow systems + installation

Pros: Lower running costs than electric systems, quick heating.
Cons: Requires gas supply, higher upfront cost.
Price Range: $800 – $2,500 for storage systems; $900 – $2,000 for continuous flow systems + installation.
Solar Hot Water Systems
Description: These systems use solar panels to heat water, often supplemented by an electric or gas booster.
Pros: Environmentally friendly, low running costs.
Cons: High upfront cost, dependent on sunlight availability.
Price Range: $3,000 – $7,000, depending on the system size and type + installation.
Heat Pump Hot Water Systems

For Budget-Conscious Homeowners: Electric storage systems offer the cheapest hot water systems but consider long-term running costs.
