The cost of solar hot water systems can vary depending on several factors. These include the number of bedrooms, the number of people in your household, the type of roof (flat or pitched), and the orientation of the roof (north, west, or east). To provide you with an accurate cost estimate, we would need more information about your specific requirements and preferences. We offer obligation free quotes so we can let you know the best solution for your needs. However, typically a heat pump system starts from $4200 and a Solar hot water system starts from $5500.
The amount of savings you can expect from a solar hot water system depends on various factors. These include your current electrical tariff, the number of showers taken daily, and the specific system you choose. In general, solar hot water systems have the potential to save up to 90% on your hot water costs, while heat pump systems can provide savings of up to 73%. We can provide you with a more precise estimate based on your unique circumstances.
At Bar Plumbing and Solar, we prioritise your peace of mind by offering robust warranties on selected models of Rheem systems. These warranties are among the most extensive in the market and can include up to 10 years for tanks and panels, as well as 5 years for parts and labor. Our commitment to providing long-lasting and reliable systems is reflected in the warranties we provide.
The return on investment (ROI) for a solar hot water system is typically around 4-5 years, based on the current electricity costs. However, it’s important to note that as electricity prices tend to rise over time, this payback period may be even shorter. If you plan on residing in your home for an extended period, investing in a solar hot water system becomes an obvious choice as it not only offers financial benefits but also contributes to a sustainable future.
Absolutely. Installing a solar hot water system is an excellent way to reduce your carbon footprint and minimise greenhouse gas emissions. Compared to a standard electric hot water system, a solar hot water system can potentially eliminate as much carbon dioxide as taking three cars off the road. By harnessing the power of the sun, you can make a significant positive impact on the environment while enjoying the benefits of renewable energy.
Our professional team at Bar Plumbing and Solar strives to minimise any inconvenience during the installation process. Typically, the installation of a solar hot water system takes approximately 4 hours from the moment we arrive to the moment we complete the work. Rest assured that we prioritise your comfort, and we ensure that you will have access to hot water within just 1 hour after we finish the installation.
The lifespan of a solar hot water system can vary depending on several factors. However, it’s worth noting that we have encountered stainless steel systems that were still functioning perfectly after being in service for over 30 years. At Bar Plumbing and Solar, we offer high-quality systems designed to stand the test of time. By choosing our reliable products and benefiting from our professional installation, you can expect years of efficient and trouble-free performance from your solar hot water system.
A solar hot water system utilises sunlight as its energy source, while a heat pump extracts heat from the surrounding air or ground. Solar systems are ideal for sunny regions, while heat pumps work well in various climates.
If you don’t have any available space on your roof, there are alternative options to consider. One possibility is to explore a ground-mounted solar hot water system, where the solar collectors are on the roof but tank is on the ground therefor utilising less roof space. Another option is to consider a heat pump, which doesn’t require roof space and can be installed in a suitable location on your property. Our team at Bar Plumbing and Solar can assess your specific situation and recommend the most viable option for your water heating needs.
