Government grants are available, up to $2600, subject to some restrictions. A complete system may only cost you just over $1500, plus installation, about the same as for instantaneous gas hot water. It’s a great way to save and reduce your energy bill by up to 37%. Less power used also saves CO2 emissions. Installation of most systems is easy. Just replace the existing tank and connect. So if your current hot water system is worse for wear, or just not working install a Solar Hot Water. It offers the best value of any water or energy saving device. It will have the added bonus of improving the value to a home.

Eco Living Centre offers the widest range of Solar Hot Water options including flat panels, evacuated tubes are heat pumps. They can advise the system best suited to residential or commercial building, and arrange supply and install. Alistair Duncan, Eco Living Centre, says “these systems save money in energy bills, and payback periods can be less than 4 years and the hot water is then free. They can be installed in new or retrofit buildings.“Government subsidies are an added incentive to install a sustainable hot water system. For example, if replacing an existing electric hot water system, Federal and State Government rebates range from $300 to $2,600, depending on the  type of unit installed. And we are happy to advise on these rebates when we supply and install. There has never been a better time to install solar hot water.” Duncan said.

Eco Living Centre supplies several technologies and will recommend the right model for any location and usage whether for residential, commercial or in remote situations where there is currently no power. The first option is the traditional Flat Panels, which can either be split with the tank on the ground or in the roof. This system is suitable to connect to electric, gas or LPG back-up. Solar Evacuated TubesA second option is Evacuated Tubes which are 40% more efficient than flat panels and are easy to install. Their shape ensures optimal efficiency as they passively track the sun and are hail proof.  Solar Hot Water, Emergency hot water, Rebates, RECs, How solar hot water works, eco-friendly,  A third option is a Heat Pump, although running on electricity, these provide constant hot water, and are easy and quick to install especially in those situations where the orientation of the building does not allow long hours of sun.
