Using a solar geyser system will result in a reduction in your electricity bill. The running costs are lower than that of an electric geyser system. The value of your property will increase when installing a solar heating system. Solar water heating systems ensure a consistent supply of hot water even during blackouts and volatile power supply. An ordinary winter's day in Africa creates adequate solar energy to supply all your hot water without using electricity. By doing the following, your geyser could be made more energy efficient: Make use of a Geyser Blanket. A good quality geyser blanket decreases the rate of the cooling of water inside the geyser significantly, therefore permitting it to switch on and off less often. Make use of a Geyser Timer If you want to avoid the burden and responsibility of switching your geyser on and off manually, a geyser timer is what you need! The device has a memory timer which can be set to turn your geyser on at specific times during the day.

Worm Farming Worm farming, also known as vermin culture, entails keeping worms in a specifically designed container, feeding them waste from the kitchen and garden (excluding meat or dairy products) and then gathering their waste, or castings. Benefits of worm farming Worm farming is an economical and effortless way to transform all your food waste into the most remarkable plant food. By depositing your waste in a worm farm and reprocessing other items, you decrease the odor and can also avoid unattractive, overflowing rubbish bins. You can contribute in the prevention of the earth's diminishing topsoil. On average, the earth is covered with only three feet of topsoil. In semi-dry and dry areas such as South Africa, water supply is restricted and can be expensive. Collecting rainwater within a system can enhance the water supply required on your property. How Rainwater is Harvested: Rainwater can be collected by means of capturing systems. Rainwater Harvesting Systems A rainwater harvesting system usually consists of the following six basic components: Catchments: roof surface to collect the rain. Distribution: system that conveys the rainwater, usually including a small pump and pressure tank. Wind turbines transform the kinetic energy in the wind into mechanical power. Wind turbines on the other hand use wind to produce electricity. This is connected to a generator, which creates electricity.
