Keeping
country kids
powersafe
By David Eddy, Compliance Officer
Over 600 primary school students from the
greater Bendigo area visited this year’s
Rochester Farm and Safety Expo to learn
about farm and road safety.
ESV sponsored the event and had a tent
where students and their teachers could try out
ESV’s Powersafe Buddies gas and electrical safety
website, which features educational videos and
games for young children.
All visitors to the ESV tent took home a free
showbag with safety information and socks,
wristbands, tattoos and colouring pages to
encourage kids to become Powersafe Buddies.
Rochester Farm and Safety Expo is an annual
event organised by the Rotary Club of Rochester.

Energy efficient heating & cooling
from a trusted brand—Westinghouse
EarthDirEXTM Geothermal Systems
A complete system that’s installed and
serviced by only approved, trained and
authorised Westinghouse personnel.
Requiring much less drilling than other
geothermal systems (typically one to two
holes at the most) reducing drilling can
significantly reduce your initial investment.
Being a 100 per cent refrigerant system,
there is no refrigerant-to-water heat exchanger
component so the heat transfers more efficiently
using only one unit of electricity to move up to five
units of heating or cooling from the Earth to any
given building.
EarthDirEXTM Geothermal “heat pumps” take
up far less room outside than a conventional air
sourced condenser therefore no more unsightly
large boxes. These systems are incredibly efficient
and quiet, making about as much noise as
your refrigerator.
Conventional air sourced systems work by
exchanging heat/cool with the air. As ambient
air temperatures can vary greatly, how hard the
system has to work varies as well. The hotter
the air in Summer, the harder they work to cool.
The colder the air in winter the harder they work
to heat. A geothermal system, on the other
hand, exchanges heat with the ground as the
temperature stays a fairly consistent 16°C yearround.
That means a geothermal system doesn’t
have to work nearly as hard to disperse heat/cool
as a traditional split-system air conditioner, which
is how it operates so efficiently meaning you
could reduce your monthly utility bills by up
to 70 per cent.
