Why use a gas geyser?
Moving away from electricity to heat the hot water needed for your house or business reduces your energy
bill as well as the high levels of emissions that burning coal, emit into the atmosphere. Gas is a viable alternative as it is the cleanest burning fossil fuel. This means you’re not only saving money on electricity but using a more environmentally friendly fuel, more sustainably.
Installing a gas hot water geyser will provide almost instant savings. This means you start recouping your initial outlay from day one.
Choosing the right size gas geyser from HSG Distributors:
