So you’ve decided to install a solar hot water system – great! But have you considered how to properly insulate it? Heat and chill recovery systems are an increasingly popular option, offering exceptional benefits to any homeowner.
Heat and chill recovery systems involve the installation of an additional layer of insulation, designed to prevent heat loss (or gain) from the hot water system. This is done by using a special type of material, known as ‘heat transfer membrane’ or ‘thermal insulation’. This membrane acts as a barrier between the hot water system and the environment, preventing heat loss (or gain) and keeping your hot water system running efficiently.
The benefits of installing a heat and chill recovery system are numerous, with energy savings being one of the most appealing. Depending on your location and climate conditions, you could see up to 10-15% reduction in energy use by installing this type of insulation. These savings can be significant when compared to standard insulation methods, as they help reduce energy bills over time.
As well as energy savings, heat and chill recovery systems also provide increased comfort levels in your home. By keeping your hot water at an even temperature throughout the day and night, you can maintain a more consistent level of comfort throughout the year. This is especially important in areas with extreme temperatures or in places that experience frequent temperature fluctuations. Additionally, these systems can also help reduce noise pollution from outside sources such as traffic or construction work – making them ideal for those who live in busy urban areas or near noisy neighbours!
When it comes to installation costs for heat and chill recovery systems, there are two main factors that must be taken into consideration; materials cost and labour cost. Materials costs will depend on what type of insulation is chosen – typically either foam board or polyurethane foam – while labour costs will depend on how complex the installation job is. Generally speaking though, these systems can be installed relatively inexpensively compared to other insulation methods – so don’t let cost put you off!
