Gas Vs Solar: Which Geyser Is Right For You?

Are you looking for an alternative for heating your home’s water? Then you’ll know that there are two options to choose from – gas and solar. Both are much better options than the conventional electric geyser so whichever option you choose, you’ll be happy you switched. But, before you do, make sure you read the info below so you can make an informed decision.

Solar Geyser

Pros

  • Extremely good for the environment
  • Affordable Installation with a good return on investment in electrical savings
  • Available throughout South Africa

Cons

  • Lower efficiency than gas geysers. Don’t generate solar power when it’s dark or rainy and overcast
  • Routine maintenance is needed to keep it in working condition

Gas Geyser

Pros

  • Gas is available in most areas in South Africa
  • Gas appliances will quickly show a return on investment in electrical savings
  • More affordable to install than solar
  • Cost and energy-efficient since they only use gas when using hot water
  • Suitable for large families
  • Repairs are fast and easy

Cons

  • Better for the environment than conventional electricity but not as good as solar
  • Installation can be complicated
  • Gas geysers could be unsafe if installed by an amateur

As you can see, both of these options are great! Which one you choose will depend on the needs and requirements of your family.
