If I install a solar hot water system will be my gas bill will be reduced significantly?
At the moment I have a hot gas service and I think to replace it with a solar hot water. My question is: save money on my gas bill? It costs a little more change and want to know if it's worth the long term. If someone has changed over solar energy I would be interested to know how much your gas bill fell and also the state of Australia where I am also located in Victoria. Thanks for all the answers in advance.

Oppression is not hard to do for yourself (several tubes of caulk and some sweat equity). Even blowing insulation in attic work is a "do it yourself."
