How it works
How much money can I really save with a solar geyser?

You can save 30% to 50% on your total electricity bill. Water heating is the biggest energy user in most South African homes, so reducing it makes a significant financial impact.

How long does a typical solar geyser installation take in the Pretoria area?

More complex jobs, like a pumped system on a multi-storey house, might take up to two days. A standard installation usually takes a full day (about 4 to 8 hours).

Is a solar geyser worth the investment in Pretoria?

With Eskom's unpredictable tariffs, the payback period is typically 3 to 5 years. Since the system can last 15 to 20 years, you get more than a decade of free hot water. Absolutely.

Do solar geysers work on cloudy days?

Yes, they absorb diffused solar radiation even when it's overcast. For long periods of rain or heavy clouds, your system's electrical backup element will automatically switch on to ensure you always have hot water.

When it comes to solar geyser installation, what maintenance does a solar geyser need?

We recommend a professional service every 2 to 4 years to check for leaks, clean the collectors, and flush the system, especially in hard water areas like Gauteng to prevent scale build-up. They are low maintenance.
