Why Solar

Did you know electric hot water systems use more power than any other household appliance? On average, they can account for between 35 to 40% of total electricity costs. Quite a sum when you consider the average Australian home spends $1,500 a year on electricity.

There is a smarter alternative.

Depending on your home’s location and water consumption, an EcoSmart solar hot water system has the potential to reduce water heating costs by up to 80%. Based on a family of four living in Brisbane, that’s an impressive saving of around $4000 over ten years!

The Benefits are instantaneous and ongoing. The cost of an EcoSmart solar hot water system is soon surpassed by the total energy bill savings.

Here’s another incentive

The Federal government offers a Renewable Energy Certificate (REC) incentive to homes that convert to solar hot water. The more energy efficient the system, the greater the incentive. If you install an EcoSmart solar hot water system, you may be entitled to a REC incentive.

One of the greenest choices you will ever make

The Greenhouse Effect is the most pressing ecological problem facing our planet. It’s an issue that’s particularly close to home as Australia is the world’s worst polluter of greenhouse gas emissions on a per capita basis.

One of the most effective ways to reduce household greenhouse gas emissions is to minimise the consumption of fossil fuel generated energy. A clean, green energy source, solar is the perfect alternative.

The figures speak for themselves. The average home using an electric hot water heater produces just under seven tonnes of greenhouse gas each year. A similar home using an EcoSmart system produces over 60% less.

Nothing is more Australian than sunshine, so it’s no surprise that our climate is ideally suited to solar hot water.

The environment your children and grandchildren inherit is in your hands.

An Ecosmart system is one of the greenest appliances your home will ever have….think of it as a small investment in the future of our planet.
