Solar Hot Water Systems
Solar energy is a clean and abundant energy resource that can be used to supplement many of your energy needs. Water heating is one of the most cost effective uses of solar energy, providing hot water for showers, dishwashers and clothes washers. Every year, several thousands of new water heaters are installed worldwide. In general, it consists of three main components:
- Solar collector, which converts solar radiation into useable heat
- Heat exchanger/pump module, which transfers the heat from the solar collector into portable water
- Storage tank to store the solar heated water

Testimonial
"We gladly refer the Homeworks Program. We are very happy with the work done on our home. The decision to upgrade was made easy from answering a phone call to signing the agreement.The work which followed was completed quickly and properly. Our representative worked hard at getting the job done before we went on a two week trip. We had twelve windows replaced a new furnace installed and two new doors. No ... three, the cat got one too!
The crew was fun, fast and clean. A real pleasure to have around. We gladly refer the Homeworks Program. "
