Fix Your Costs
Solar Panels provide the fantastic benefit of being able to fix your hot water costs for the foreseeable future. Like a fixed rate mortgage, knowing, budgeting and fixing your costs, enables you to plan for the future rather than riding the roller coaster that interest rate fluctuations often provide. Fuel costs are no different, with prices rocketing in recent years.
Installing Solar Panels can take all these worries away. Once you have noticed a return on your investment within approximately 6-10 years, you then have almost complete control of your hot water bills.
Selling your home?
Energy performance in the home is crucial in more ways than one, especially if you’re looking at selling up and moving on at some stage down the line. Kitchens, bathrooms and walk-in wardrobes for example are simply cosmetic, and will more than likely be changed by the prospective buyer. What will not get changed is any solar hot water system you have in operation, making the property more attractive to the buyer.
Adds 6% to the value of your home
Knowing that a property generates up to 70% of hot water requirements throughout the year may be fundamental in making a sale. It may also help to improve the value of your home. Surveys show that buyers are attracted to properties with solar installed and can add up to 6% to the value of the property.
If you’re building a new home, changes to legislation in 2016 will make it virtually impossible for you not to utilise Solar Hot Water for the property.
