Choosing a Califont to Heat Your Hot Water

There are various options available when it comes to heating the water in your home. We have come a long way from the standard hot water cylinder that took up space in most Kiwi homes, and these days Califonts are the most popular form of replacement for a few reasons. When it comes to new installations and conversions at older properties, Mount Maunganui Plumbing & Gas are qualified to supply and install your new Califont, and we recommend the Califont as a great choice for both residential and commercial properties.

Califonts Are Space Savers

So what’s so great about a Claifont? There are a few advantages to choosing a Califont to heat your hot water. The first is pretty obvious - it’s a tremendous space saver. While many of us have grown up with a huge hulking hot water cylinder and a ‘hot water cupboard’ taking up half the laundry or the hallway, this is no longer necessary. Your Califont can generally be stored out of sight on the exterior of your property; it’s lightweight, discreet and has a small space footprint.

Califonts Reduce Your Energy Bill

Another reason for choosing a Califont is the cost efficiency; you won’t be storing water that needs to be continually maintained at a certain temperature until you call on it - so your bills will decrease. Not storing water is also healthier, the water in a lot of old hot water cylinders can be dubious at best and downright dangerous at worst - nobody wants Legionnaires lurking in the hot water cupboard! Efficiency is maximized by heat on demand - no large storage tank and a constant supply of hot water.

Get Better Water Pressure and Continuous Supply

Better water pressure is always a good thing, and when Mount Maunganui Plumbing & Gas install your Califont, the water pressure across your property will improve. They are also compatible with most solar systems, so if you are leaning in that direction, you should factor a Califont into your plans and budget. Last but not least, because your Califont heats on demand, aside from the space and energy savings this produces, there will be no running out of hot water!
