With the sweeping in of a new LNP lead State Government in Queensland – Many people are questioning what will happen to solar, the environment and climate change polices under this new leadership. 
From what we understand (considering these are early days!), these are some of the possible changes in the industry: Continue reading “Change of Government – Change in Solar?” »
We all know power prices keep going up and aren’t expected to fall anytime soon. So, it’s this simple fact that is spurring everyone to look at alternatives and what they can do to help counteract the skyrocketing cost of living.
Solar power and solar hot water are the obvious choices as an addition for any home as we can take the heat or light energy from the sun and use this to our advantage. Solar has been used for many years as a way for people to save electricity and make money from their roofs. Continue reading “Why You Must Consider Solar Power Storage” »

On the 1st of July this year we will see two dramatic changes in the way electricity is delivered and also the amount in which we pay. Both of these have the ultimate effect of driving power bills higher, possibly beyond increases we have seen in previous years. 
So what are the changes?
The first change to come in is the well-publicized and debated impact of the Australia’s Carbon Tax. The whole premise behind the carbon tax is to cut the amount of carbon dioxide that is produced and released into to atmosphere in order to slow the ultimate effects on the environment and the overall consequences of climate change.
Whether you believe in the science or not one thing is for sure, every home and business will be subjected to a significant rise in electricity prices. So whether your bill is $500 or $5000, a further hit to the hip pocket needs to be calculated to combat the carbon tax. Continue reading “Price Proof Your Power Bill” »
As we experience our first ‘heat wave’ in a couple of years, it comes as no surprise that more people are jumping in their swimming pools to beat the heat.
But with the added temperature, higher usage and significantly more maintenance needed on the pool, it necessitates running the pool pump driving up your power bill. Combined with other summer power consumers like cooling and general refrigeration, this is now the best time to change your old pool pump to an energy efficient pool pump alternative and enjoy the benefits everyday in the years to come.
Here are three big reasons to look at your options -
1. Savings on your power bill – The latest technology in energy efficient pool pumps uses the advancement in magnetic drive motors to allow a fluctuation in water speed and circulation. This allows the user to run the pump at a low speed over a longer period of time rather then the old single speed pumps, which circulate the water at a high speed over a 6 to 8 hour time frame.
