Envirosun: Product Types
Solar Hot Water Systems
Access to hot water in our households is something we all need and expect. However the energy a hot water system uses to heat and maintain the water temperature can be both expensive and taxing on the environment with the amount of electricity required to consistently support a home. Solar hot water heating systems have become increasingly popular over the past decade as people acknowledge the need for more energy-efficient, sustainable, and cost-effective solutions for managing their household needs. The big advantage of using a Envirosun solar hot water system, beyond the long-term cost savings is the environmental benefits they bring. Generating hot water from the energy of the sun removes the need to pay for water heating, which is why many people see the system’s upfront cost as an investment in future savings and one of the biggest ways to reduce your homes carbon footprint with on single appliance.
The Envirosun range of solar water heaters are the traditional roof mounted tank type called a Thermosiphon solar water heater (Envirosun TS Plus), this variety also comes in a closed circuit type that is useable in high frost prone regions (Envirosun THX Plus). The other solar system is a split unit where the tank is on the ground and solar panels only on the roof (Envirosun AS solar).
Heat Pumps
Envirosun offers heat pumps under 2 different labels; the Enviroheat Heat Pump and the upgraded model the Envirosun HP Plus. Heat pumps although having a refrigeration system built in, they are also called “air source” solar systems. While they use electricity to heat water, they are around three times more efficient than the traditional and common electric water heater and a gas prices have leaped considerably they have the similar savings of 70%. Heat pumps help you save energy, offer greater accessibility for hot water round-the-clock, and contribute to reduced greenhouse gas emissions. For example, the efficient heat-transferring properties of Envirosun’s heat pumps mean that for every 1kW of electricity, more than 4kW of heat can be converted heating the water within the storage tank, consider you stored water like a battery holding energy to be used when needed. Even at temperatures as low as -7 degrees Celsius, the Envirosun HP Plus and Enviroheat heat pump can economically provide hot water. The warmer the region the more efficient they become
