I dont reckon you could go wrong with solar, particularly as the price is dropping so rapidly and power costs rising....

my son has the solar hot water but I don't know anything about them....heat pumps .......well I just learnt a heap thanks to stagg1991

I will wait and see what my power bill is then I may look at some sort of water heating

glad the info is of some help to you!

may your day's be filled with smiles, your life be filled with love, may your children know nothing but happiness and joy, cherish the memory of those who strove before us for they cleared the way, spare a thought for those who serve we owe so much to so many, life and the freedom to enjoy it is a special gift that can be taken away far too soon!
