Switching to a solar geyser retrofit has never been easier or more affordable, thanks to Aqua Therma’s flexible financing options. Whether you prefer a rent-to-own package or short-term instalments, we’ve tailored our plans to ensure you save money while enjoying reliable hot water. Here’s how we make it possible:
1. Rent-to-Own Packages: Affordable, Fixed Payments
With Aqua Therma’s 60-month rent-to-own packages, you can access solar geyser retrofits with:
- Low upfront deposits to make getting started simple.
- Fixed monthly rental payments with no escalations, protecting you from price increases.
- The ability to buy out your system at any time without additional fees, taking into account the elapsed rental period.
What’s even better? The monthly rental amounts are often lower than your electricity savings, meaning you’ll be cash flow positive from month one. For example:
- A 100L system (18 EVT) has a rental of R435/month, while typical savings are R755/month—giving you a net positive cash flow of R320/month.
- A 150L system (24 EVT) has a rental of R580/month, with typical savings of R1,010/month, resulting in a net positive cash flow of R430/month.
- A 200L system (30 EVT) has a rental of R725/month, with typical savings of R1,260/month, leaving you with a net positive cash flow of R535/month.
Over 5 years, these savings can amount to tens of thousands of Rands, making the rent-to-own package both affordable and impactful.
2. Short-Term Installment Options: Flexible Plans for Faster Ownership
Prefer to own your solar geyser retrofit sooner? Aqua Therma offers low-fee installment plans with the following terms:
- 6 months: 5% fee on the system price.
- 12 months: 7.5% fee on the system price.
- 24 months: 20% fee on the system price, divided across 24 months.
For example:
- A 150L system (24 EVT) costs R18,450 upfront. With a 24-month installment plan, the monthly payment is R924, while the average monthly savings over two years are R1,060 (factoring in a 10% assumed Eskom electricity price inflation in Year 2). This leaves you with a net positive cash flow of R136/month.
- A 200L system (30 EVT) costs R22,950 upfront. With a 24-month installment plan, the monthly payment is R1,148, while the average monthly savings over two years are R1,323. This leaves you with a net positive cash flow of R175/month.
For larger households, consider the 42 EVT system, which supports a 2 x 150L geyser configuration:
- A 300L system (42 EVT) costs R33,450 upfront. With a 24-month installment plan, the monthly payment is R1,673, while the average monthly savings over two years are R1,960. This leaves you with a net positive cash flow of R287/month, making it an affordable and efficient option for families with higher hot water demands.
Note: A small plumbing charge will apply to connect the geysers in series.
