Money isn’t the only thing your solar hot water system will save. Domestic water heating is currently the single largest source of greenhouse gas emissions in Australia, contributing around 23% of total household emissions from the average Australian home. Using a more efficient solar hot water system reduces environmental impact and produces no direct emissions with greenhouse effect.

Choosing the right system for your home
The system you choose will need to take into consideration your household size and average water usage. As a guide, the average person uses about 50L of hot water a day, but this depends on things like how long you take in the shower, how often you use the washing machine and if you have a dishwasher.

Solar Hot Water Systems - Hillarys
Roof Tank Systems
Rooftop solar hot water, also known as close-coupled thermosiphon solar, has shaped Hillarys's Skyline for years. These units are ideal for situations where:
- The plumbing/electrics are already set up on roof
- Or there is no space at ground level for a tank
Ureco Solar Hot Water offer prompt installations and interest-free payment plans are available. Get a quote for Installation in Hillarys. Our systems are Perth designed for Perth conditions and supported here in Perth.

Ground Tank Systems
Envirosun are a Perth-based company specialising in solar hot water with manufactured and warehouse facilities in Perth and Sydney.
Contrary to popularity on the East Coast, Western Australia has been slow to adopt split systems. There are many benefits versus roof solar:
- Easy servicing of tank at ground level
- Improved roof aesthetics
- More safety and control features
All split systems are installed with high-temperature UV-resistant insulation. Unlike the standard pipe installation/foam, it will not crack and disintegrate after only a few years' service. Get a quote for Hillarys.

Evacuated Tubes Hillarys - Solar Hot Water
Evacuated tubes (aka vacuum tube) solar collectors provide more output in Perth when you need it. Australian Engineered over 30 years ago, the vacuum around each tube provides a 'thermos' effect, insulating the collectors against wind and cool air which detract from the suns heating capability.
How they work:
- The evacuated tube solar collector captures the sun's light and heat energy
- A Circulator pushes water through the solar collector, transferring the captured heat into the water
- The heat is then stored in a tank, which continually heats throughout the day
- Hot water is drawn from the storage tank onto the household
Our in-house installers at Ureco take great pride in installing evacuated tube solar hot water systems. Each system is installed with attention to detail, insulated valves and high temperature/UV-resistant pipework insulation.
For the discerning investor Evacuated Tubes installed by Ureco is a wise choice to save you more.

Heat Pumps - Hillarys
Hot Water Heat Pumps provide the benefits of saving money equivalent to traditional solar hot water without the need for roof thermal panels. Our range of Perth Heat Pumps also works in conjunction with solar power panels saving you even more money.
- Heat pumps rely on the suns energy that is available in the atmosphere 24/7, 365 days a year. No direct sunlight is required.
- No roof collector is required with a heat pump. Instead, the thermal collector (or evaporator) is present inside the heat pump unit at ground level.
- A fan draws the solar energy filed air over the evaporator to provide a constant flow of fresh air-sourced energy.
- The small amount of electricity a heat pump consumes is similar to that of traditional solar when averaged out over the course of a year. Whereas Traditional solar requires an electrical element (or gas) to boost in wnter.
Heat pumps very efficiently use electricity to run a compressor. The compressor excites the refrigerant, loaded with solar energy extracted from air, so it then transfers the solar energy through a heat exchanger to the stored water. Read more about Heat Pumps for the Hillarys Area Here.
