Are you wondering if you can use your existing solar hot water system to heat your home as well? The answer is yes, but with the right technology. Heat and chill recovery systems are designed to capture and store the energy produced by your solar hot water system and then use it to heat other areas of your home such as air conditioning, radiators and underfloor heating.
Heat and chill recovery systems work by transferring energy from a warm source such as a solar hot water system to a cooler area such as a room in your home. The energy is stored in an insulated tank which contains two separate pipes. One pipe carries warm water from the solar hot water system to the tank, while the other pipe carries cold water from the tank back to the original source. In this way, the heat from the solar hot water system is transferred into the tank where it can be used for heating other parts of your home.
The benefits of installing a heat and chill recovery system are numerous. Firstly, it can help reduce energy bills by up to 50%. This is because it captures and stores energy that would otherwise have been wasted in traditional solar hot water systems. Additionally, it can increase the efficiency of your air conditioning and heating systems due to its ability to transfer energy into cooler spaces. Finally, it helps reduce carbon emissions by providing an eco-friendly alternative to traditional forms of heating.
When considering installing a heat and chill recovery system, it’s important to hire experienced professionals who know how to design and install these types of systems correctly. At Euroheat Australia in Perth, we have 30 years of experience designing and constructing hydronic heating & cooling systems with advanced technology for maximum efficiency. Our team will provide a tailored solution that meets all your needs while ensuring cost-effective designs that are both reliable and effective over time.
To give you an idea of what you can expect, let’s look at an example calculation based on an average Australian household size: If you install a 2-zone hydronic heating & cooling system powered by a 5kW solar hot water system with 6 months’ worth of stored energy (about 1 kW/day), you could save up to $1,200 per year on electricity bills compared with using traditional gas boilers or electric radiators powered by mains electricity alone! This means that over 10 years you could save up to $12,000 on your home’s operating costs – all thanks to investing in Euroheat’s state-of-the-art heat & chill recovery systems!
So if you’re looking for an eco-friendly way to reduce costs while still keeping your home comfortably heated all year round, then installing a heat & chill recovery system powered by your existing solar hot water unit could be just what you need!
