Solar Hot Water

Adelaide’s climate is well suited to solar hot water. A solar system uses roof-mounted panels to heat your water, with a gas or electric booster for cloudy stretches, so you get hot water year-round while cutting your energy bills. We install and service all solar hot water systems and handle the plumbing side of new installs.

Heat pump hot water

Heat pump systems pull warmth from the surrounding air to heat your water, using up to 70% less energy than a standard electric system. They cost more upfront but pay back over time through lower running costs, and there are often government rebates available. We install and repair all major heat pump brands.

Which is right for you?

Solar suits homes with good roof access and sun; heat pump suits homes where roof space is limited or shaded. Both are a big step down in running costs from standard electric. We’ll look at your home and tell you which delivers the better return, with no pressure either way.
