As South Africa faces growing challenges in energy security, escalating electricity prices, and environmental concerns there has been a shift toward sustainable energy solutions. In 2023, South Africa implemented updated regulations for household hot water systems, focusing on reducing energy consumption and promoting renewable energy.
These recent regulations for household hot water systems have opened doors for more efficient, cost-effective, and eco-friendly technologies.
The Geyser Gecko has been designed to align with these new requirements and recommendations. The use of traditional electric geysers in new buildings has been restricted to encourage energy-efficient alternatives. Property Developers and Homeowners are encouraged—or in some cases, required—to adopt solar-based systems. All new Developments must ensure that 50% of their water heating comes from renewable energy sources. Water heating systems must meet stringent efficiency standards, resulting in reduced carbon footprints and lower electricity bills.
The aim is to transform water heating which is a significant contributor to household energy consumption.
It is fully compliant with South Africa’s regulations, making it an ideal choice for households and developers looking to future-proof their properties. It’s advanced design ensures maximum efficiency and minimal reliance on the grid.
The Geyser Gecko can be a game-changer by offering an innovative approach to solar water heating and energy management.
Switching to the Geyser Gecko significantly reduces electricity costs and by harnessing free solar energy, homeowners can cut down their water heating bills by up to 50%. It significantly reduces dependence on Eskom and mitigates the impact of load shedding, if that is in effect. This, in turn, can increase property values – a huge advantage for homeowners and developers alike.
By installing a Geyser Gecko, you can also play a positive role in the environment, by reducing your carbon footprint.
So, whether you’re planning a development, building a new home or upgrading an existing hot water system, the Geyser Gecko offers a powerful, efficient, cost effective and eco-conscious solution.
