Water heating can account for up to 50% of a household’s power bill — and with prices rising every year, many Kiwi families are feeling the squeeze.
That’s why more homeowners are switching to Solar Electric Hot Water — a simple, affordable way to cut energy costs without changing how you live.
💡 Why it makes sense now:
• Electricity & gas costs are climbing faster than ever
• Solar hot water gives instant savings
• Your hot-water cylinder becomes a giant solar battery
• Works with ANY existing hot-water cylinder
• Zero plumbing, zero noise, zero maintenance
• Heat your water during the day using free solar energy
• Guaranteed hot water with automatic mains backup
• Eligible for 100% Green Loan financing (ANZ, ASB, BNZ, Kiwibank, Westpac)
Most households see real savings straight away — with a typical payback in under 5 years, while the solar panels continue producing for 25+ years.
If you’re curious about how much you could save, I’m happy to share more info or help you get a free proposal. Feel free to WhatsApp Mary at 022 163 3596.
No pressure — just a smart way to beat rising energy costs and make your home more efficient. 😊
