HIGH GAS OR ELECTRICITY BILLS
With the installation of your new solar hot water system, maximum energy savings can be achieved
with careful planning of hot water usage. Should you at any time, feel your energy account is too high,
we suggest you check the following points:
•
Is the relief valve running excessively? (Refer to
“Temperature Pressure Relief Valve Running”
on page 12).
•
Is one outlet (especially the shower) using more hot water
than you think? (Refer to
“Not Enough Hot Water”
on
page 11).
•
Is there a leaking hot water pipe, dripping hot water tap, etc?
Even a small leak will waste a surprising quantity of hot
water and energy. Replace faulty tap washers, and have
your plumber rectify any leaking pipe work.
•
Is the booster water heater operating too frequently? (Refer
to
“In-Series Booster Water Heater Operating Too
Frequently
” on page 12).
•
Consider recent changes to your hot water usage pattern
and check if there has been any increase in tariffs since
your previous account.
