In today’s economic times we need to Save!
Green Energy is a business in the heart of the garden route with its aim to save you money and to help you reduce your carbon footprint. We all remember the dreaded load shedding and don’t want to experience it all over again. So we need to save energy and at the same time save money, and that’s why we are here to help u.
The best way to save energy is to install a solar geyser and if you have more than one geyser you can save - save save! Another way is to replace your electrical stove with Gas and believe me it’s a lot cheaper and faster than cooking on electricity. If you don’t have the money now for installing a solar geyser u can use a timer installed by us, and that will cut your warm water cost by 50%. We also do energy audits were we will come and calculate your energy usage and show you how much you can save by just using the right lighting; geyser blankets; timers; insulation of pipe work etc.
Another good way of saving is reusing of grey water (shower; bath and laundry water) for the garden. You can also make use of a dripper system that use much less water as normal irrigation

Free hot water from the SUN
How dumb is this? Use coal to boil water. Use steam to spin turbines and run generators to make electricity then transported long distances to connect to a coil at the bottom of a tank - to make hot water.
A solar water heater could save R 4500 a year and keep almost a ton of CO2 emissions out of the air. At present, customers pay 92 cents a kilowatt hour (kWh) for energy but when the new tariff structure comes into effect, heavy users would pay as much as R1,50 per kWh during peak periods with penalties.
Going solar is an investment rather than expense because of the savings involved. Let me show you, a 200L geyser will use about R300 per month, R 3600 rand a year at the current kWh cost, but if the price double like they said by 2012 that same 200L geyser will use R 600 per month and R7200 per year... :-(
Well it is now 2012 and u do pay more than R600 a month for a 200L geyser mmmh
Energy saving tips at home with another ESCOM price increase on the horizon in April
Save save save energy is what we need to do if we want to survive the increases Escom makes every year. The funny thing is that we do not need to use all that energy, if you just use the right lighting and install solar geyser and Gas for cooking U can save more than 70% of your energy bill. Escom wants every household to save at least 10% or else we will end up with the dreaded load shedding again. It is very easy to save even 30% without spending an arm and a leg. Let me show you.
Lighting
Lighting can and will draw a lot of unnecessary energy if you are working with old technology… a good example is the Normal 50watt halogen down light, it uses R0.05 to run for one hour, 20 of them will use R 1.11 to burn for an hour, R 8.88 to run for a day and R 275.28 for month. R3303.36 per year and over the next 3 years your 20 down lights will eat up an R 12 710 in electricity. Wow!!!
New technology LED (Light emitting diodes) 3Watts works out to R0.00333 to run for an hour, and 20 of them will use R 0.0666 for an hour, R 0.53 per 8 hour day and R 16.51 per month. R 198.20 per year and over the next 3 years you will only pay R 762.59 in electricity and the best of all is if you buy quality it may be the last bulb you buy!!! LED has a lifespan of more than 50 000 hours
To put this into prospective:
20 x 50W normal down lights in next 3 years will cost you R 12 710
20 x 3W LED down lights in next 3 years will cost to run R 762.59
Saving involved within 3 years R 11 947.41
Even after purchase price of 20 x LED’s = R 3200.00
You still save R 8 747.41 Next time we can discuss Gas and Solar savings
