Plentify your home

Control from anywhere

Input your routine and we’ll optimise your system to suit your needs, while still saving as much as possible on your electricity bill. Use our features like Loadshedding Aware and Vacation Mode to make sure you have hot water when you need it.

Reduce your electricity bill

Households with HotBot save on average R355 per month on their electricity bills. Monitor your savings estimates via the app and get insights on how to save even more via our monthly savings reports.

No more geyser guesswork

Easily check the temperature of your geyser so you always have that perfect shower. Moreover, with geysers bursting on average every 5 years, you can rest assured knowing that we’ll let you know if we spot any leaks so you can prevent any burst geyser damage.

Make the most of solar

Hear from those who’ve experienced the power of Plentify

I felt like a technological dinosaur, but Plentify has just taken control of all my worries. I have absolutely no concerns about when the geyser is going to be hot. It's become something I don't have to think about, I know it's taken care of and happening on its own. - Carina, Western Cape

I highly recommend Plentify not only for their immaculate customer service, but also for enabling me to have total control over my geyser which results in my household being a lot less affected by loadshedding’s cold water pain! - Erich, Cape Town

I can honestly say I am thrilled with Plentify and HotBot. From first contact, I have had the best service from real people, as well as a system that truly is easy to operate (set up the times and leave it alone!) - Janita, Johannesburg

I’ve had my HotBot installed since August and the saving on our electricity bill has been considerable. The platform is so easy to use and I love being able to control my geyser from anywhere. The scheduling options work really well and vacation mode is a game changer! Highly recommend. - Natalie, Cape Town

Thanks to Plentify, we've eliminated most of our electricity bill and stayed warm this winter by running underfloor heating entirely on solar. - Mike, Cape Town

The Plentify HotBot is an invaluable service for South African households who are serious about reducing consumption at a time where electricity costs are going up. It promotes good behaviour, and you pay for your geyser when you need it most, with insights on how to maximise savings….it's a no brainer. - Nafisa, Johannesburg

The SolarBot in conjunction with the Hotbot save me significantly especially during the warmer months as I use my battery more optimally to supply power when it can to the house. The new Plentify app gives me a snapshot in real time of my systems productivity whereas the inverter manufacturers app does not give a real time snapshot. The app also allows me to optimise my settings very simply. - Paul, Cape Town
