Environment

Solar water heating is a very efficient way to help the environment and save money. A typical household could reduce its carbon emissions by around 570kg per year if they installed solar water heating. That’s the equivalent of taking a small car off the road.

International scientific consensus agrees that increasing levels of man made green house gasses are leading to global climate change. Carbon emissions are a major cause of global warming; our thirst for energy is damaging the planet, and is changing the lives of millions of people around the globe. Melting icecaps, extreme weather conditions, and rising sea levels are signs of global warming.

We all need to work to reduce our carbon emisions, and do our own part in slowing climate change. We can do many things that cost very little, such as recyling, using the car less often, reducing food waste, insulating the home properly, and fitting energy efficient light bulbs.

A solar water heating installation contributes to the reduction of the carbon footprint of your home as well as bringing you financial savings by reducing fuel usage, and reducing boiler running time. This will also extend the boilers life and reduces on going maintenance costs.
