Build Your Own Solar Water Heater

While a 100% solar powered house may be out of the question at this time, one of the best places to start to save money is with a solar water heater.

Heating water for showers, baths, the dishwasher, or other uses is one of the biggest contributors to our monthly electric bills.  In fact, according to most studies the hot water heater uses about 1/3 of the electricity used by a household each month.  Think about that! 

Take a look at your average monthly utility bill and imagine reducing it by 33%.  How much would that be worth?  What would you be willing to do to cut your electric bill by 33%?  Even more exciting is to think what you could do with that extra money.

Easy Plans to Build Your Own Solar Water Heater

It is probably easier than you think.  Click here!  The plans are simple and easy to follow.  According to the plans, you can probably build the system for less than $70.  For a small investment of only $70 think of how much you could save the next month, and the next, and all the months to follow.  Most families of four could save the cost of parts and installation during the first month of use.  Again, that is something to think about!

Additionally, using a solar water heater is the first step towards going green.  That is a double savings.  You are saving money each month with the solar water heater and you are taking your first step towards helping to save the environment.  It's easier than you may think.
