Energy Awareness

The average Australian household produces over 15 tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions energy year.

Electricity accounts for about 50% of the energy used in Australian homes but creates around 85% of the greenhouse emissions because most electricity is generated by burning fossil fuels.

A properly insulated home can reduce your active Heating & Cooling bills by 50%.

Fridges account for over 20% of household electricity consumption - a change of one degree in temperature can effect energy consumption by up to 5%.

In 2000, around 11% of Australia's residential electricity use was attrributed to standby power.

In most Australian homes water heating accounts for approximately 28 - 30% of energy consumption.

Around 30% of the greenhouse pollution from your homes comes from water heating but only 5% of Australian homes have a solar water heater installed.

Solar is not reliant on temperature as much as sunshine.

Australia is the best placed country in the world to take advantage of a Renewable Energy like Solar Power, not only is it considered one of the best places on the planet in relation to the sun to run solar panels effectively, we have the wealth & skilled people to be the world leader in the technology.

A Solar Hot Water system will always pay back the difference in cost over it's life time - this could be as quick as six years.
