Hope people don't mind me asking, have seen a mail or two before about energy saving options etc.<br><br><br>I'm going to be getting a new hot water service soon and have two options available.<br><br>As New Rinnai Insta Heat water service - has done no more than 100 hours.<br>
Reason for sale is it was installed brand-new when they moved in and then less than a month later they changed to an electric powered setup -vs- getting in bottled gas all the time (semi-remote property) still has all warranty papers etc. so I can easily send those in and claim warranty from today if I wanted.<br>
<br>Second option is what the people replace the above with.<br>A Freezer power hot water service. I'm not 100% certain on the mechanics behind it all, but essentially it is that economical it still benefits from the Government solar energy bizzo.<br>
<br>So all up the 1st option will cost me around $1000 with installation of unit, labour is already costed ~$300 as very little work is needed to alter my gas setup for installation, and I plan to remove the old unit myself if I can.<br>
Second option is around $300 after government benefit (the guy who would do it has installed a few already - and the average end-cost to the user for simple setup is around $300.<br><br><br>Now, I'm not looking for the "Cheapest" solution, but the "best", I don't plan on being in the house I'm in past 5-8 years really (if I want kids, I'm (with luck) going to move to a slightly better area with less hoons and screaming neighbours.<br>
