Solar

Solar systems are a great way to save money by using the sun to heat your hot water. This works by the water passing through collectors mounted on your roof, heating the water up to 100°C.

Things to consider when installing solar

• Roof that faces north
• Government rebates available (up to $4100.00)
• Hi Line system (this is where the tank is mounted on the roof, with the collectors)
• Lo Line system (this where the tank is down on the ground)
• Gas Boost (this is the most energy efficient system you can get)
• Electric Boost

Gas

Gas is the next best energy efficient system, next to solar and is 40% cheaper than electric to run. At present the Government is giving a $300 rebate when replacing an electric hot water service for a 5 Star Rating Gas Heater. There are 3 types of heater s to consider when purchasing a gas heater.

Electric

Electric storage systems are a relatively inexpensive solution to your hot water needs. If you are replacing an existing water heater "like for like" replacement also tends to reduce installation costs.

Things to consider when installing electric

• Number of people per household
• Are you on off peak electricity?
• Running costs
• Is it possible to convert to a more energy efficient heater, using the Governments rebates?

Heat Pump

When considering a more environmentally alternative for your hot water needs, and solar is unavailable to you, why not look at heat pumps. They save almost as much energy and greenhouse gas emissions as solar, and don’t rely on sunlight.

Things to consider when installing heat pumps

• Government rebates apply (Up to approximately $3200)
• Works day and night, as they don’t rely on sunlight to operate
• Same day replacement of your electric hot water heater
• Must be located outside
• Not to be located next to bedroom windows as there can be some noise
