Are you looking to reduce your energy bills and improve your home’s efficiency? Installing a heat recovery system can be the perfect solution. Heat recovery systems are designed to capture the waste heat generated through a building’s ventilation and use it to pre-heat incoming air, reducing the amount of energy required for heating or cooling your home.
To compare different heat recovery systems, you’ll need to consider factors such as their capacity, efficiency, cost, and design. Let’s take a look at how to evaluate each of these criteria.
Capacity: Heat recovery systems work by transferring the warmth from one air stream and passing it on to another. The capacity of the system is determined by its capability for transferring heat from one air stream to another. Generally speaking, higher capacity systems are more efficient at capturing waste heat but also more expensive and require more space. You should consider the size of your home when deciding on a system with sufficient capacity.
Efficiency: Heat recovery systems are usually rated by their effectiveness in transferring heat from one air stream to another (known as ‘thermal efficiency’). This is usually expressed as a percentage value – for example, an 85% efficient system would be able to transfer 85% of the available waste heat into the incoming air stream. Look for systems with higher thermal efficiency ratings for maximum energy savings.
Cost: The cost of a heat recovery system will depend on its size, complexity and type of materials used in its construction. Generally speaking, larger units with higher thermal efficiencies will cost more than smaller ones with lower efficiencies. Make sure you do your research and compare prices from different suppliers before making your decision.
Design: The design of a heat recovery system will determine how effective it is at capturing waste heat and transferring it into incoming air streams. Look for designs that maximise airflow while minimising pressure drop – this will ensure that your system is working as efficiently as possible. You may also want to consider whether you need additional components such as fans or dampers in order to optimise performance further.
For all these reasons, it pays to choose an experienced installation team when installing a new heat recovery system in your home or business premises – Euroheat Australia have been designing hydronic heating & cooling systems since 1991 and bring over 30 years’ experience in delivering top-notch installation services across Perth & WA’s southern regions – so why not give them a call today?
And don’t forget about the money-saving benefits! Heat recovery systems can significantly reduce energy costs – according to some estimates up to 30% – plus they make homes much more comfortable due to better temperature regulation throughout all seasons of the year! So if you’re looking for an energy-efficient solution that can help you save money on bills while improving comfort levels in your home or office – look no further than installing a top-notch Euroheat Australia hydronic heating & cooling system!
