My mate runs a plumbing/hot water buisiness.
He told me that for the extra 4K cost for solar hot water which still needs electric booster here and there it will take you about 25 years to recoup the extra cost over a large electric system which is wired up on night rate off peak, and chances are you will need to replace it after 10 to 15 years anyway.
We are on electric/night rate tarriff with 4 people having 2 showers a day and never run out of hot water and it only costs about 55 bucks 3 month bill. So these politicians don't do their homework,just because they get everything for free.
You don't want heat pump water heaters if you are close to neighbours as they are noisy. My mate has installed heaps of these and is sick of the winging from people mainly in unit blocks about the noise, so he doesn't install them now.
Gas is good if you can afford it and have town gas.
Maybe K.Rudd and friends should stop all the jetting around the place to minimise carbon footprint if they are serious about this stuff and stop making the mere mortals pay for all this.
Regards Matt.
