Solar Water Heating - "WITHOUT ROOF PANELS!

Welcome to 21st Century water heating!

300Lt Domestic Heat Pump Hot Water Service 300Lt Enamel Lined Steel storage tank 5Heat Pumps are much cheaper and simpler to install than conventional solar - yet do the same job! These sensational heat-pumps provide a great ecological solution because they are very efficient and are fully accredited for solar rebates, nothing on your roof, robust, more efficient, cheap to buy, and simple to install. 5reference: Government of Victoria, Sustainability Victoria, Benefits of Energy Smart Design, Chapter 1, Page 4, Table 1.1, Lifecycle greenhouse impacts (tonnes CO2 equivalent), Appliances, Hot Water Systems. 'Heat-pumps 30% lower greenhouse impact than electric boosted solar'. ( http://www.sustainability.vic.gov.au/resources/documents/eshousingmanualch01.pdf)
	The Mercedes of Heat Pumps! These excellent quality German made heat pumps draw only 520w of electricity, yet efficiently produce enough hot water for a family of 5. Because they extract solar energy from the ambient air, they do not require solar collectors on your roof. The 300-MS is ideal for up to 5 people in a 2-3 bedroom 1-2 bathroom home. The 300-MS has a recovery rate of 35Lt/hr to 60Lt//hr depending on the ambient air temperature, so some management of peak-load times may be important in larger households. Because it extracts heat from the air more slowly than other heat pumps, it can be installed in a confined but ventilated space such as a garage. The water storage tank is made from enamel-lined mild steel, and has a design life of approx 15yrs. The tank has a 5yr warranty, and the heat pump has 2yrs warranty. Fully imported German Quality and reliability. Note: Will generate a little more noise than an aircon, so we recommend installing it away from bedrooms or put it on a timer so it doesn't operate at night. (small price to pay for a very efficient and inexpensive unit)

Please call for current trading prices for REC/STC's & VEEC's - 1300 552 976

Prices do not include delivery and installation. (typically allow approx. $900 for delivery and changeover of an electric HWS)

The Essential Services Commission have stepped up their requirements for compliance of the scheme: VEECs are now only claimable when replacing a working system. A system that is being replaced because it has broken-down and is no longer able to create hot water does not qualify for VEECs. The ESC now also require more thorough collection of information used to create VEECs. We have updated (once again) our forms to help with the collection of all the required information.

In summary in addition to the VEEC application form, they now require:

• A Certificate of Electrical Safety (if one was issued for the job) must be supplied. The CES must include details of the decommissioning of the old system (i.e. old electric HWS disconnected from the electricity supply).
• A plumbers Certificate of Compliance must be supplied. The compliance certificate must include details of the decommissioning of the old system, the method used to render the system unusable, and how and where it was disposed of.
• Proof of purchase must be supplied, listing the model of the new system purchased, as registered with the ESC, and this must match the model written on the VEEC form. Also include the method used to render the system unusable, and how and where it was disposed of.
• All plumbers taking part in the installation must be registered and thereby eligible to do the installation. A photocopy of the Plumbing Industry Commission Licence of all plumbers contracted to do the installation is required. With the photocopy make sure you include your FULL business details contact phone numbers, and email address.

Please note that to claim VEECs a working system must be decommissioned. The decommissioning details must be comprehensive. The ESC conducts random audits of selected applications and will ask questions relating to the decommissioning of your system.

Please be reassured however, that WE will help with ALL the rebate paperwork, as long as these guidelines are adhered to.
