We’ll find a hot water heating solution that suits you
There are two types of water heaters:
Types of Hot Water Systems
Hot water systems are generally available in two main types: storage systems and continuous flow systems. Both can run on different energy sources, including gas, solar, or electricity.
In Wollongong and across the Illawarra, the right system will depend on your home and how your household uses hot water each day.
When selecting a hot water system, it’s important to consider:
- Available space
- The size of your home or office
- The number of users
- Property and operating costs
At Ruttley Services, we help you choose the right system for your property, so it suits your needs and runs efficiently.
Gas Storage
Gas storage hot water systems are a popular choice for many households. They are well suited for families of around 3 to 5 people and include an adjustable thermostat for added safety. In Wollongong and across the Illawarra, they are often chosen for their balance of performance and running costs.
Gas storage systems allow you to manage operating costs while still providing reliable hot water.
The features that make gas storage systems stand out include:
- Constant water flow
- Easy replacement
- 4-star efficiency
- Full mains pressure to taps
Gas continuous Flow Hot Water
Gas continuous flow systems heat water only when you need it, rather than storing it in a tank. This makes them a practical option for homes where space is limited or hot water demand changes throughout the day.
How does it work?
- When you turn on the tap, water flows into the unit
- Flow sensors detect the movement and ignite the burner
- Water passes through a heat exchanger and is heated instantly
- The unit turns off when the tap is closed
Electric storage
Electric storage systems use an insulated tank where water is heated by an electric element. These units come in different sizes, making them suitable for a range of homes. In the Illawarra, they are often chosen for their simple setup and flexibility.
They are quick to install and can also be connected to solar panels, allowing you to switch between electricity and solar to help reduce energy use.
The features that make electric storage systems a good option include:
- Australian-made tanks
- Made using advanced manufacturing methods
- Easy and quick changeover

Very polite, great job, thank you OkanPosted on Google StephanieTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We used Ruttley's Services for the first time this week to solve a number of lighting issues. We were very impressed by the experience. From the initial visit to assess what needed to happen to the actual work being completed the next day, the guys were professional, efficient and friendly. Thank you to Toby for the initial assessment visit and to Sebastian and Joshua who arrived the next day and completed the work. We would them again and would recommend them to anyone looking for good professional electricians. Well done, guys!Posted on Google Peter SilkTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

The response to the services request is quick and both the workmanship and customer services follow up are excellent. This performance is worth a rating of 5 stars. However, the cost of the installation together with the unit cost are high even after a good membership discount. The net price is more than two to three times of price advertised by other vendors. For example, Appliance online have a price of A$1,413. This covers the delivery, installation and remove and recycling of the old unit. I therefore giving an overall rating for this job 3.5 out of 5 stars.Posted on Google karen campbellTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Excellent service when we had to replace our 20 year old gas hot water system. Polite and informative .
