Did you know that electric element type hot water systems can be responsible for around 2 tonnes of greenhouse gases a year?! To become more energy efficient:
-
Install a solar hot water system
-
Install AAA rated shower heads to lower the amount of water you use, and the hot water that needs heating.
-
Lower the thermostat on your hot water system to around 50 degrees to optimise efficiency.
-
Spend less time in the shower.

Use cold water to wash your clothes.

Insulate the hot water pipes throughout your home.
