Energy Prices Are Rising: Why Now is the Perfect Time to Switch to a Smart Hot Water System
Let’s face it—energy prices in the UK are on the rise again, and it doesn’t look like they’re coming down anytime soon. But we shouldn’t let the price rises affect our need to decarbonise our homes, and fast. Switching to a Mixergy cylinder could be the game-changer. Not only can it save money, but it’s also easier on the planet. Here’s why now is the ideal time to make the upgrade.
Energy prices are rising
With energy costs going up, sticking with an old, inefficient hot water system could be costing more than most realise. Traditional hot water storage systems waste energy heating water the home doesn’t need. Typically, a home spends between 10-25% on their hot water energy use.
Mixergy is designed to stop the waste and only heat what the home needs. With prices high, every saving counts, and when you switch to a smart hot water system savings can add up to hundreds of pounds a year.
Heat your water for free with solar
It’s not surprising in a time of high energy bills that solar panels are on the up. They’re great for storing energy for the home, and working with smart tariffs, can significantly reduce bills.
Storing the energy from solar panels for home traditionally goes into a lithium battery, but many don’t know that you can also store in the hot water, heating the water for free.
Our embedded solar diverter is designed to work seamlessly with the solar panels, using the excess energy to produce hot water.
Smart Tech = Easy Savings
The best thing about Mixergy? We make life easier while saving money, it’s like having a personal assistant for the hot water:
- Remote control with the app: Forgot to turn off the water heater? Need to set holiday mode? No worries—smart hot water means the home can control it from their smartphone, even when they’re not home.
- Learning the home’s habits: The system gets to know when the home needs hot water and adjusts automatically, using machine learning which considers smart tariffs, behaviour, weather and more.
- Never run out of hot water: Because of the clever tech and machine learning, the home will never run out of hot water.
Heat pumps and Solar PV are expensive – Why not start with a Mixergy instead?
Mixergy can work with the gas boiler in the home today, saving up to 21% on the hot water gas consumption. But when a heat pump and/or solar PV comes later, the same system will be there. It’s futureproof.
If a home is trying to live a bit greener but not yet ready for that bigger expense of a heat pump or solar PV, a Mixergy is a no-brainer.
Make the most of cheaper energy rates
Ever heard of time-of-use tariffs? Some energy providers charge less for electricity at certain times of the day (like at night). Mixergy can take advantage of these cheaper rates, heating water when it’s cheapest. The home will still have plenty of hot water ready when they need it—but at a fraction of the cost.
A home can even be rewarded for heating their hot water. British Gas provide a £40 rebate annually for fixed rate tariff customers with a Mixergy cylinder, adding even more to their savings pot.
The Bottom Line: Why Wait?
Rising bills and smarter tech make now the perfect time to invest in a Mixergy and switch to a smart hot water system. The home will save money, cut its carbon footprint, and enjoy all the perks of modern hot water convenience.
It’s time to stop paying for energy the home doesn’t need.
