Heat Pumps - economical, safe and ideal if roof space and pitch not suitable for solar collectors
When a gas is compressed, it heats up. A heat pump has a motor which compresses gas in the Heat Pump, taking in heat from the surrounding air and then transferring all this heat to water, with the result of water being heated. It takes far less electricity to run a motor and generate heat in this way than to heat water by passing electricity through an electric element. .
Alliance Air heat pump systems now available from Solar Balance
Selection of retrofitted or integrated systems are available
Depending on your requirements, you can either select a Retro fitted unit or an Integrated unit.
The retrofitted unit can make use of your existing geyser and can supply between 100 to 500 litres of hot water from an externally-mounted Heat Pump unit.
The Integrated unit combines both the Heat Pump and storage tank in a single unit, 190 litres and 300 litre systems available.
Larger units suitable for hotels, guesthouses, offices buildings etc. are also available. Modularity allows up to 16 units to be interconnected, ensuring large volumes of hot water available at all times.
