If you break your new year’s resolutions as fast as you make them….why not try a whole new direction instead and commit to a more planet-friendly lifestyle?

Making a change to your energy use by installing a solar hot water system for example is one of those lifestyle changes that will make you feel good (in more ways than one) and one for which the planet will be grateful!.

Here’s a suggestion from one of the leading providers of hot water systems in Perth, who suggest that you think about this little saying from Wayne Dwyer …. “change the way you look at things and the things you look at change..  And whilst all this thought leader wasn’t directing his inspirational comments specifically at people considering making a change from conventional energy sources to a more sustainable future such as solar hot water, they do have universal appeal…particularly for new year’s resolutions !.

Let’s take a snapshot look at how a switch to a solar hot water system can make a real difference to you….and the world.

Well, if you have a regular electric hot water system and you make the change to solar heating – you can reduce the electricity consumption of your hot water system by up to seventy per cent.

And it doesn’t take much to make the connection between reduced electricity consumption and reduced electricity bills either ! For example, a solar hot water system in Perth could save the average family in this sunny West Australian city $1000 or more a year.

Another major change will be your carbon footprint….as a solar hot water system can reduce your household’s carbon pollution by over 2000 kg a year.

So, even if you haven’t manage to change your habits and fulfil your new year’s resolutions, it may be time for you to make a positive change to the environment … (and to your bottom line!) by installing a solar hot water system..
