The price of electricity in South Africa has increased 5 times faster than inflation since 2008. Combined with rapid rises in the price of water, a single shower or bath can now cost R10 to R20.
Electricity in South Africa is not only expensive – it’s also unreliable. Although 2023 was South Africa’s worst load shedding year ever, the future is predicted to be even worse.
On top of that, 87% of South Africa’s electricity is generated from coal, meaning that taking a shower or bath in South Africa is very bad for the environment.
Water heating is the single biggest consumer of electricity in South African households and makes up about 40% of the total electricity bill.
So, if you want to reduce your home’s electricity bill, increase its independence from the grid, reduce its carbon footprint and have happier residents, the geyser is the best place to start.
A peculiar South African habit is to install geysers in the ceiling space. This means that, when the geyser fails, there is usually substantial water damage to the ceiling, furniture and other household contents. This leads to complaints from residents whilst you (the Estate Manager) have to deal with warranty, insurance claim and repair teams. Considering that about 70% of homeowners’ insurance claims are geyser-related, this is no rare occurrence.
Together we can transform your homes water heating into a pleasant and fully manageable experience with reduced cost, maintenance and carbon footprint.
The Elon Smart Water solution converts your households existing electric geysers into smart, green and connected appliances.
