The electrical element geyser is the most energy hungry appliance in the home. Eskom’s experts tells you how and why you should switch to energy efficiency

The electrical element geyser is the most energy hungry appliance in the home, and can account for up to 50% of the average household’s energy costs. Switch to energy efficiency by replacing your geyser with a solar water heating system or water heating pump with funding assistance through Eskom’s rebate programmes for the homeowner.
When buying a solar water heating system from an Eskom accredited supplier you pay the full price upfront and claim back your rebate. Payment is quick! – 8 weeks from the date of receipt of your claim provided all the required information was supplied. Selected suppliers even offer the rebate upfront and claim it from Eskom on your behalf. Solar can save you up to 70% on your water heating bill.

When buying a water heating pump from an Eskom accredited supplier the price you pay is already discounted and you won’t need to claim the rebate. Convenient! And you could save up to 67% on your water heating bill.
