Sola4U Update
Hi there neighbours
We are talking solar water heating here not solar electric. Simple one panel system that provides a very good savings on hot water energy costs.
Some people ask - is it with installing solar water heating just before winter? Well, the answer is a resounding yes. Sure, there are a few days when the solar stuggle but your back up is always available. Given Tauranga's sunshine hours its a hard polace to beat for solar performance, notwithstanding the feel good of using the suns energy to heat your water and paying the energy companies less over the many years to come.
Its never a better time - get in before prices rise and the special runs out. Deal with the trusted local team since 1996 !

Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.
Do you think this ban is reasonable?

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
