For many of us, managing the world's resources and helping to preserve the natural environment is of concern. However, it's not always easy to see what one household can do to help.

One practical way to reduce energy costs is to choose solar heating for your hot water supply. Solahart national sales and marketing manager Chris Luhrs says a Solahart system can save a household up to 90% of its hot water energy costs.

"Not only do these systems reduce energy costs, but in an average family home they can save up to 4.5 tonnes in greenhouse gas emissions the same as taking one small car off the road," says Luhrs.

The Federal and state governments are so keen to promote this source of energy ,that they offer financial incentives to householders who replace a conventional water heater with a solar system.

"As well as being more environmentally friendly, a Solahart system can save an average family around $300 a year in energy costs. The system generally lasts up to twice as long as a conventional system, and, with the available financial incentives, will easily pay for itself in as little as three to four years," says Luhrs.

Roof- and ground-mounted tanks are supplied with five- or ten-year warranty options.

"The Solahart brand name is recognised worldwide as a leader in solar hot water technology, and this year it celebrates its 50th anniversary."
