Phase out of electric hot water services coming soon! - 3.05.11

Old inefficient electric element type Hot water Service

Did you know that water heating is the largest single source of greenhouse emissions from Australian homes and accounts for about a quarter of household energy use?

Currently 50% of households use electric hot water systems and they produce up to 3 times the greenhouse gasses of low emission alternatives such as solar, heat pump and high efficiency gas.

Australian State and Territory governments are working together to phase out electric systems and are currently offering large rebates to switch to more efficient technologies. Phase out is most likely to start in 2011 and when your old electric tank goes consumers will have to opt for solar, heat pump or high efficiency gas units.

The government estimates that this initiative will result in the reduction of carbon emissions of 78 million tonnes over the next 20 years. The team at Fresh Living are experts in solar, heat pump and high efficiency gas hot water systems and can deal with all the government rebate paperwork . We have undergone extensive training with Green Plumbers and several of the leading solar hot water manufacturers so there has never been a better time to start doing your bit for the environment then right now.
