How much does It cost to have solar heating installed?
I am looking to find alternative means of energy.
My electrical bill is astronomical as it is the only source of energy in my home.
I no longer use gas heat as my last heating bill was almost $600.00 a month. So, all sources of energy in my home is certainly electrical in nature.
I am looking to have solar panels installed for home heating and for hot water.
About how much am I looking to throw into this gesture?
Anyone have an idea how to get started?
I have made some enquiries on going totally solar and for a hot water service was around $4,000.00..
I am going to totally cover my roof (only 3 sides) with solar panels which will cost around $24 - $30,000.00...
Right now my Government is paying us rebates as incentives to become green on a variety of things ; especially since we are in the worst drought since recorded history...
My prices are in Aussie dollars, and are Aussie made products...
what do you do leave all your lights on 24/7, go to the low green light bulbs, a 75W globe can be reduced down to 14W, a 25W globe which I use in the passage and in all bedrooms down to 5W...
I have normal reading lights, but I find I only need those lights to just to negotiate my way, so they don't have to be bright..
A $600.00 electric bill per month I find absolutely staggering, your electricity must be very expensive, my average bill @ pensioner rates is around $115.00 for 3 months...
Good on you r, go green and let's help to save our Mother Earth...
Blessed Be... )O(
I came accross a new, proven and tested home made wind power system and solar power system which eliminates our electricity bills.

I might be moving into a house with an inground pool in my home of Australia. How much would it cost to run?
1/ The cheapest way to buy chlorine and how long it would last. i was told approx. a $30 10 litre bucket would last atleast 6 months..is this right?
2/ do I always need to run the filter? I'm guessing maybe i should turn it off to save power and turn it on when i get leaves etc. in the pool. can i do this?
3/whats the average Australian cost /month to run a basic solar heated inground pool?
Sorry, I dont know, but http://appliancequickfix.com/ has a great page on pool water maintenance. You should take 5 mins to read it, before doing anything else. You can run your pump a few hours a day.....twice a day to scavenge some of the dirt and keep the chemicals stirred up. Dont plan on it being too cheap. If you are not really enthused - avoid it.
Remember, its not like a boat that you can sell when you get tired of it.
