The facts about Energy Efficiency


Water heating:

Water heating accounts for nearly one third of the total energy used in a typical Western Australian household. The domestic hot water system is one of the most expensive appliances to install in a home. It is also the most costly appliance to operate. Any savings that you can make in this area will impact significantly on your total energy use.

There are two main types of water heater – instantaneous and storage.
