Hot water is taken for granted in every household situation. It is one of the largest proportional energy costs in the majority of domestic cases (up to 60% of total home energy use) yet one that we also expect to be reduced to a minimum.

Efficient hot water systems are a key element of our business and can be integrated into central heating systems or stand-alone hot water supply systems.

The type of hot water system should be based on the amount of hot water required within a specific timeframe eg: hourly/daily/weekly and should also consider the fuel source to be used economically and environmentally. Progressive Energy offers a range of high quality, low maintenance hot water system with solar, heat pump and instantaneous/continuous flow gas systems options.

Solar Hot Water

A solar hot water system is a great long-term investment that has a guaranteed returned and will pay for itself in as little as 5 years.

Mounted on the roof, the solar collector consists of a thin, flat, rectangular box with a transparent cover that faces the sun. Small tubes run through the box and carry the water to be heated. The tubes are attached to an absorber plate, which is painted black to absorb the heat. As heat builds up in the collector, it heats the water passing through the tubes. The storage tank then holds the heated water, ready for you to use.

You only need to use a gas or electric booster to heat the water on days when the sun refuses to shine. That way you're always guaranteed plenty of hot water but very few energy bills.
