HIGHER THAN EXPECTED ELECTRICITY BILLS
With the installation of your new solar hot water system, maximum electrical energy savings can be achieved
with careful planning of hot water usage. Should you at any time feel your electricity account is higher than
expected, we suggest you check the following points:
Is the relief valve running excessively?
Refer to "Temperature Pressure Relief Valve Running"
page 16.
Is one outlet (especially the shower) using more hot water than
you think?
Refer to "Not Enough Hot Water"
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.
Are you using the booster heating unit properly?
Refer to "Booster Control"
Has there been an increase in hot water usage?
An increase in hot water usage may result in an increase in booster operation.
Has your water heating tariff rate been increased by your electricity retailer since your previous account?
ELECTRICITY TARIFFS
The electricity tariff to which your solar water heater is connected will play an important role in the overall
effectiveness of the system. It is important you are aware of this tariff to enable you to take full advantage of
the boosting period, i.e. Domestic / Continuous or Time of Use, Extended Off-Peak (overnight and day) or
extended time controlled, or Off-Peak (overnight) or time controlled.
IF YOU HAVE CHECKED ALL THE FOREGOING AND STILL BELIEVE YOU NEED ASSISTANCE,
