After reviewing Sha's Homestead 37 plans (thanks Sha if it was not for your blog postings we may never have considered these changes) and more sleepless nights tossing up whether or not we should include a WIP in leiu of the garage workshop we have submitted them to our sales consultant.
We have also decided to go with the electric heat pump hot water instead of solar.
Hey guys,
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on choosing your new home.
I love what you have done with the plan ;)
With the hot water system.. we have gone with a solar split system with an electric booster. The panels are on the roof, and the storage is on the ground.
We dont have a booster switch, as there is a computer box on the storage cylinder which decides when to use the booster. You can manually switch it off when you go on holidays etc.
It really is a set and forget system..
Something to think about..
Where abouts are you building? I cant wait to see it come together..
Your house will be huge with the games room included. We deleted it, and still our painter is complaining about the size of it lol

Hi Sha,
ReplyDeleteThanks for your reply Sha, we will look into the solar hot water a little more. I just want to make sure we are still able to take advantage of the off peak electricity supply as well.
We are building in Redland Bay.
