Wetback Water Heating Systems
Harness the heat of your log burner for cost-effective hot water.
Efficient Hot Water from Your Fireplace
A wetback system is a brilliant way to reduce your winter electricity bills by utilising the radiant heat from your wood burner to heat your household water. When your wetback fire is running, it circulates water through a heat exchanger, warming your hot water cylinder essentially for free.
Our specialised plumbers have extensive experience installing, maintaining, and retrofitting wetback systems in Christchurch homes. We ensure the complex pipework, cylinder requirements, and critical safety valves are installed flawlessly to prevent boiling or pressure buildup.
