Geyser Management and Solar Systems

With Eskoms’ cash rebate of betweenR2 100 and R12 500,environmentally friendly solar water heaters are now affordable.  To qualify the water heating system must be tested by the SABS to be Eskom approved and consumers must cover the cost of the system first and then claim the money.

Eskom says that rebates will be paid out within eight weeks of the application. Worthmann of Eskom estimated that there are currently about 4.2-million electric geysers in the country and only 76 873 installed solar waterheating units.   His aim is to encourage as many South Africans as possible to move away from electric geysers, and replace them with solar geyser systems. He was wanting the result of having the average household cut their electricity costs by 30 to 50%.

However, the rebate system is financially out of the reach of many people, so there are also GeyserWise units which will cut your electricity bill by about 30% by managing your geyser, click here for more www.geysersmart.co.za
