How much does a solar geyser cost in Cape Town

No body likes putting on their hot water tap only to find that the water is cold. That could be because you didn't pay your electricity bill and have to power to warm up your electrical geyser or because there is load shedding as this often happens in Cape Town. There are two ways to deal with this problem.

Get a gas geyser

The first is to get a gas geyser installed. Gas geysers are great for warming up cold water but the constancy of the warm water will go up and down and sometimes not even warm up at all. This usually happens when the wind blows out the flames of the gas geyser which warm up the pipes where the cold water flows through that heats up the water. To remedy this problem you either need to place your gas geyser in a wind free area or cover it with a weather box. I find a weather box isn't very effective as the wind can still blow the flames out when blowing under the box. The other issue you face with a gas geyser is gas. If you forget to check your gas bottle frequently this could also lead to you running out of gas and ending up in a cold shower or bath. The other option is to get a solar geyser.

Installing a solar geysers

Solar geysers are by far the best for heating up water. They work of the suns energy and produce a consistence flow of hot water plus you also don't have the monthly expense of buying gas. Solar geysers are more pricy than gas geysers but in the long run you get great return on your investment when you purchase a solar water geyser. A solar geyser consists of either evacuated tubes or panels, a geyser, controller and pipes that are connected to the plumbing of your house. It's best to you a certified installer to get your solar geyser installed as they will be able to sing it off without you having any future problems. You will also be able to claim from insurance if there are any problems with the product in the future. Make sure you buy a quality solar water geyser in Cape Town that is SABS approved and that uses quality part that won't break. This will save you allot of money and inconvenience in the future.

When using a solar water heating company make sure they are reputable and have been around for a while. With the recent load shedding issues Cape Town faced there was a surge of new businesses that opened up to meet the demand in the market with most of them having no previous experience at all. The best way to do this is to look at what other people say about them. Check out their business listing for reviews or Hellopeter. This will tell you straight away if they are in it to make a quick buck or to service their clients long term.
