PLANNING AHEAD FOR RETIREMENT
Adam is a Whitsundays local who was starting to think seriously about retirement over the next five to ten years. His goal was to get his energy costs under control while he was still working, so he could head into retirement with one less bill to worry about and more freedom to enjoy his super.
The Problem
HIGH POWER BILLS & NO BLACKOUT PROTECTION
After going through Cyclone Debbie and nine days without power, Adam knows exactly how disruptive a blackout can be. No hot water. No cooking facilties. No washing. No lights. No air conditioning.
More recently, a friend with solar but no battery lost power for three days during cyclone Koji, another reminder that solar alone doesn’t necessarily mean blackout protection.
Before upgrading his system, Adam was receiving quarterly electricity bills of around $883.47.
With retirement approaching, Adam wanted to reduce his ongoing energy costs before he stopped working, so his super could go towards enjoying retirement — not paying electricity bills. And he wanted to make sure his home was better protected when the grid went down.
The Solution
SOLAR + BATTERY DESIGNED FOR THE FUTURE
Adam was already a Green Energy Technologies customer, so when he decided to upgrade, choosing GET was an easy decision.
Joe reviewed his electricity usage and recommended a solar and battery solution suited to his home and future needs.
Adam saved $8,854 through available rebates and chose to finance the balance, with repayments lower than what he had previously been spending on electricity, allowing him to start saving straight away while paying the system off before retirement.
As a tradie himself, Adam was especially impressed with the installation team, the quality of workmanship and how clean and tidy everything was left.
The Outcome
FROM $833.47 TO JUST $20!
Adam’s first post-install electricity bill dropped from $883.47 per quarter to just $20. That’s a reduction of more than 97%. And the result wasn’t just financial .During the next blackout, Adam’s power stayed on, giving him exactly the peace of mind he had hoped for when he invested in battery backup.
Now he’s heading toward retirement with dramatically lower energy costs, blackout protection and one less thing to worry about.
When we asked Adam how he feels about the next cyclone he said: “Bring it on! I’m ready!”
“Green Energy Technologies were faultless when I used them the first time and even better this time!”
