Heating water for use in our homes makes up about 5% of the UK’s total carbon dioxide emissions, so it’s essential that we opt for an eco-friendly option when replacing our water heaters.
Having an efficient water heating system which runs on a low carbon fuel is one of the most vital steps you can take to reduce both your fuel bills and your carbon dioxide emissions.
A typical water heater should last around ten years. Electric water heaters usually last a little longer than their gas counterparts, however the type of water heater you have isn’t necessarily the best indicator of lifespan; your use and maintenance is a much better predicator.
If the hot water coming from your taps is rusty, or your water heater is making a loud banging, knocking or rumbling sound, these are good signs that your water heater needs repairing or replacing. If it’s been a decade since your water heater was installed and it is in need of repairs, it’s likely more cost-effective in the long run to replace it with a more economical heater.
If you’re upgrading to a new water heater, you’ll have to first consider the cost of removing your old system. This will include both removal and disposal of your old system, and tidying up any related pipework. Prices can vary massively depending on the fuel type of your current system, the age of the system, and the size of the property. Upgrading to an energy efficient water heater could cost more upfront than a less economical version, yet could save on running costs.
Heat Electric take the stress out of replacing your water heater, and can decommission and dispose of your old system when we install your new Sunamp – all you need to do is sit back and relax.
Thermal stores – sometimes called ‘heat batteries’ – are an alternative to battery storage, but instead of electricity, they store heat. There are different types of thermal store available which all store heat in different ways. A thermal store allows management of the difference between when heat is available and when it is needed. They can be used in off-grid locations with a variety of energy sources, including solar PV and grid electricity. The store will only use mains electricity to top up the heating when other sources cannot provide enough energy.
Sunamp Thermino heat batteries contain a high performance phase change material (PCM to deliver hot water on demand at mains pressure. The Thermino range is up to four times smaller than the equivalent hot water cylinder, saving you valuable storage space.
Thermal stores can help to reduce peak and level demand by storing energy when there is low demand, and releasing it when there is high demand. By ensuring energy is used when it is cheaper and more renewable sources are available, they can help to reduce harmful carbon emissions.
