Solar hot water and heat pumps works well in Ballarat {contrary to what you might think!} and they are a very cost effective choice especially if your current system is electric. Replacing an electric hot water service with solar, with electric back up can reduce your household energy use by 25 – 30%. Even replacing a gas hot water service with a solar system will significantly cut emissions for the typical household. The BREAZE website {see Action Groups – Retro-renewables page} has more information on solar hot water. If solar is not suitable for your house, heat pumps are an energy effcient alternative. |
