The geyser is one of the largest electricity consumers in most homes and businesses, yet it often operates inefficiently. As a result, it can account for a significant portion of your energy costs. The good news is that there is a way to take control and reduce this expense. By installing a GeyserWise system, you can efficiently manage your geyser’s energy usage, lower your electricity bill, and even enhance the performance of your solar and inverter systems. Let’s explore how this innovative technology can turn your geyser into a smart energy-saving solution.
A traditional geyser operates with a thermostat that maintains the water temperature, typically between 45°C and 70°C. When hot water is used, or the water cools down, the thermostat signals the heating element to activate, resulting in constant energy usage.
The thermostat is often located in the roof, making adjusting inconvenient. As a result, many people leave their geysers running all day.
Some energy-conscious homeowners resort to manually switching the geyser off and on via the distribution board breaker. However, these breakers aren’t designed for frequent use, and doing so can lead to wear and tear over time.
This combination of inefficiencies makes the geyser one of the most expensive appliances to operate.
GeyserWise is a programmable system designed to simplify and optimize the management of your geyser’s energy consumption. It enables users to:
Program-specific times when the geyser should heat water.
Adjust the water temperature to meet your needs throughout the day.
This smart technology eliminates the need for manual switching and allows for precise control over energy usage, making it possible to reduce your electricity costs significantly.
One of GeyserWise’s standout features is its ability to work seamlessly with solar energy systems, effectively turning your geyser into a thermal “battery.”
Here’s how it works:
During the day, when solar panels are generating the most energy, you can program GeyserWise to heat the water to a higher temperature, such as 65°C or 70°C. This stores thermal energy in the form of hot water for later use.
At night, the stored hot water is ready for use without requiring additional electricity.
In the early morning, you can set a lower temperature, such as 40°C—warm enough for basic needs while minimizing electricity usage.
This approach ensures that you’re making the most of available solar power, reducing dependency on the grid, and lowering overall energy costs.
For households and businesses equipped with solar panels and inverter systems, GeyserWise offers additional benefits:
By heating water during peak sunlight hours, GeyserWise helps you maximize the value of your solar power system.
During load-shedding or periods of low sunlight, your geyser will require minimal energy from your inverter’s battery since most of the heating has already been completed during the day. This helps extend battery life and ensures power is available for other essential appliances.
Even in challenging conditions, such as load-shedding, GeyserWise ensures you have hot water without placing excessive demand on your inverter.
By adding a GeyserWise system to your home or business, you’ll gain access to several important advantages:
Reduce electricity consumption by only heating water when needed.
Cut down on costs by programming the geyser to operate efficiently.
Set heating times and temperatures with ease without needing to access the thermostat in your roof.
Prevent wear and tear on your distribution board breakers, which aren’t designed for frequent manual switching.
Use solar power to heat water during the day, maximizing energy efficiency.
Minimize battery usage during power outages or low solar production periods.
