Solar Water Heating
Harness the free energy from Florida's sunshine and drastically cut your hot water heating costs. Water heating ranks 2nd only to air conditioning and home heating costs. 30% of your electric bill is devoted to heating water. For most families, that adds up to $$$ hundreds of dollars yearly in energy savings. A solar hot water heater is efficient, economically smart and completely self sufficient. Like your current water heater, you will never worry about running out of hot water. It takes care of itself. It's so smart, you can just kick back and simply enjoy the savings it provides for you.

Typical Savings
A typical solar system saves anywhere from 70% to as much as 90% of the total amount spent on heating water for home needs. The average person uses $20 to $25 per month in hot water. An average household of 3 - 5 spends approximately $45 to as much as $100 per month in electricity for hot water heating purposes. These figures are conservative as long showers, lots of clothes washing, and dishes can push water heating cost even higher and savings can be even higher.
Basic Operation
Today's solar water heating system consists of a large storage tank, a solar collector mounted on the roof and a small pump operated by an electronic control. When the temperature on the roof inside the solar panel is warmer than the bottom of the storage tank, the electronic control sends power to the pump and the warmer water in the solar panel is pumped into the tank. The storage tank holds the heated water for household usage. Storage tank sizes are determined by the size and hot water requirements of the household it is to serve.
Why not install solar electric system at the same time!
Customers Comments
Dear Tom,
Today I received in the mail your letter and comment card. Unfortunately, your comment card does not give me enough room to say what I want to say.
You asked if I was satisfied with the installation of my hot water solar system.
Now to answer your question "Am I satisfied with the installation?" YES! Totally satisfied with everyone whom I spoke with, your service manager Randy, the girls who scheduled your crews and most importantly your crews. Everyone was extremely polite and highly efficient. Did the job and was gone.
Your second question was "Would you do business with us again?" Let me just say that I or anyone else would be totally out of our minds if we called anyone else to work on our solar equipment.
Third questions, "Would you recommend us to others?" Definitely, without question. Since the installation of the panel, my FPL electric bill dropped an average $50.00 per month. I have not had to turn the electric on to the hot water heater since the installation of the panel. Thanks for creating such an outstanding company. Your company and employee's are fantastic. I would have to be crazy to call someone else. Keep up the good work
