Can I Use A Waste Heat Hot Water System With A Ground Source Heat Pump System?
As an Australian homeowner, you may have heard about the benefits of installing a ground source heat pump system. They are incredibly efficient systems that can provide your home with both heating and cooling, while also helping to reduce your energy bills. But did you know that you can also use a waste heat hot water system with a ground source heat pump system to get even more out of it?
In this article, we’ll explain what a waste heat hot water system is and how it works, as well as the benefits of installing one alongside your ground source heat pump system. We’ll also provide some examples and calculations of energy savings and cost reduction so you can see just how much you could save by doing so! Finally, we’ll mention the advantages of using the design and installation services of Euroheat Australia – Perth’s leading hydronic heating & cooling engineers & installers with over 30 years of experience in the industry.
So let’s get started! A waste heat hot water system captures the waste heat produced by your ground source heat pump when it is running in reverse cycle mode (cooling) and uses it to pre-heat the hot water in your tank before it is heated up by other sources such as gas or electricity. This means that you are able to make use of the energy that would otherwise be wasted, thus reducing your energy bills and saving money in the long run. On top of that, it also helps to reduce your carbon footprint which is always a bonus.
There are several benefits associated with using a waste heat hot water system with a ground source heat pump system: firstly, it increases efficiency as more energy is being utilized rather than wasted; secondly, it reduces energy costs by pre-heating your hot water; thirdly, it reduces emissions from other sources such as gas or electric; fourthly, it reduces demand on other sources such as gas or electric; and finally, it helps to maintain temperatures in colder months which can help keep heating costs down.
But how much could you actually save? Well depending on how large your home is, how much hot water you use on average each day and what type of fuel/system you currently have installed for heating/cooling purposes – depending on all these factors combined – you could potentially reduce your overall energy bill by up to 30%.
Of course, if you want to get maximum benefit from this setup then it’s best to consult professional engineers & installers like Euroheat Australia who have been designing & constructing hydronic heating & cooling systems for over 30 years now! They will be able to assess your individual situation and advise accordingly – they can even design tailor made solutions for specific needs so there won’t be any unnecessary spending or wastage either!
Make sure to take advantage of their expertise and experience when considering installing a waste heat hot water system alongside your ground source heat pump system – after all why not make use of all available energy sources and reap the rewards in terms of cost savings!
