š Tired of Rising Power & Gas Bills? Hereās a Smarter Optionā¦
If your monthly electricity and gas bills keep creeping up, youāre definitely not alone.
Water heating can account for up to 50% of a householdās power bill ā and with prices rising every year, many Kiwi families are feeling the squeeze.
Thatās why more homeowners are switching to Solar Electric Hot Water ā a simple, affordable way to cut energy costs without changing how you live.
š” 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 ā with a typical payback in under 5 years, while the solar panels continue producing for 25+ years.
If youāre curious about how much you could save, Iām happy to share more info or help you get a free proposal. Feel free to WhatsApp Mary at 022 163 3596.
No pressure ā just a smart way to beat rising energy costs and make your home more efficient. š
