Solar Geysers
In the average home almost half of electricity consumption is attributed to heating water with your geyser. By installing a Home Comfort solar Geyser heating system and utilising the free energy from the sun, you can expect a reduction of 33% in your electricity bill.
Solar geysers has been used commercially around the world for more than 50 years. In several countries it is mandatory to have a solar Geyser in every home
Home Comfort solar geysers comprises a hot water storage tank and solar heat collector panels. Through a thermo-siphon effect (in which hot water rises), hot water circulates between the collectors and the Geyser while there is sun and is stored at the end of the day in an insulated Geyser. All Home Comfort systems are equipped with an electrical heating element as a back up, controlled by a thermostat for those odd days when the sun’s energy is insufficient for water heating.
- Cost saving – the monthly savings from our solar geysers will pay the monthly instalment on a loan. Once paid for, your hot water is free!
- An investment – installing a geyser adds to the value of your property and constantly saves you running costs.
- Environmentally friendly – solar energy is clean energy. No pollution and no exploitation of limited natural resources

The system is designed to work uninterrupted for years. It carries a 10-year warranty on the collectors and geyser, but is expected to last for more than 20 years, and features the newest technology available, developed in conjunction with Daimler-Benz Aerospace.
- A solid roof (pitched or flat), that is exposed to direct sunlight throughout the day.
