solar water heater
Why would you install (or not install) a solar water heater?
Most ingenious answer wins 10 points.
I don’t mean install it yourself. I meant if you would like to have a sloar water heater.
I don’t mean install it yourself. I meant if you would like to have a solar water heater.
why? the answer is simple
to harness a free and easily available energy source
they work on daylight, not sunlight
i live in Scotland UK and have one, and believe me, we are NOT famous for sunshine here
i have had mine since January, and even in this climate, my bills have quartered in that short time
its a no brainer really
the initial cost is there of course and you have to work out re coup time, especially if you do not plane to live in that house for a long time, but if you are settled, its worth looking into
