Renovating? Our Top Eight Plumbing Trends for 2015

1. Solar Domestic Hot Water Systems
Water heating accounts for almost 30% of energy use in the average Australian home, and a solar-assisted water heating system can save a household $300 to $700 a year. Most new homes are now being constructed with solar hot water systems, and retrofits are very popular, as well. It makes sense to harness the power of the Aussie sun and there are many systems available from quality brands like Rinnai.

2. Rainwater Systems
Rainwater harvesting is a growing trend as it reduces the load on stormwater systems and provides a naturally pressurised water supply at roof level. Most average Australian homes are suitable to be fitted with at least a 2,000l tank that can be plumbed to operate a pump that utilises stored water to flush toilets and run the laundry as well as keeping your garden green during those warm summer months.

3. Concealed Toilets
Concealed toilets are in vogue and contain a cistern that is hidden in the wall offering a sleek, functional design leaving only the pan on display. Consider installing a water-efficient dual flush toilet, which can save a household around 51 litres per person in water and costs around $500 less to operate over a ten year period.
