Be up around $2k but given it needs replacing now anyway I figure I may as well pay the extra grand to upgrade the lines etc and then know I'll have no chance of running out of hot water, even in the future with kids and stuff.Plus it's bulk more efficient than my old one, so bills should be cheaper too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be up around $2k So actually gonna be more like $2,800-3,000 because they have to upgrade all the gas pipework and put in a power point...so better be amazing and my bills better be noticeably cheaper! 22 hours ago, Puffwagon said: You'll be showering for days So many long showers coming up, just coz I can! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bamk2f6tornado Bronze Donating Members 777 Member For: 11y 8d Gender: Male Location: Rockhampton Qld Posted 26/04/17 05:59 AM Share Posted 26/04/17 05:59 AM Solar is typically more expensive to install. Do you have natural gas where your are stripes or will you be using exchange LP Gas? If you are going 45kg bottles expect to go through about 1 bottle every 3months. More in winter less in summer obviously. You can usually get a bottle for around $100 if you shop around Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ironically I'm 60 k's from the city and the other place is 50 k's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
