How A Solar Heat Exchanger Can Help Save Money

By Linda Maynard


There are a lot of different ways for people to conserve energy and be considered a "green" home. Much of these methods involved using reusable energy or something that can be reused or taken from nothing . Such is the case for when you use a solar heat exchanger to heat the water in your home or to heat the home itself.

Everybody wants to save money. The amount of money that we all pay in our energy bills is way too high. You can look at your past 5 years of energy bills and you will see that all of the categories have gone up over the years. What this means is that everything is costing us all more money. The fees and costs are raising and there is no sign of any of it slowing down.

In the summer time we have to have air conditioning to cool the house down. This takes electricity to run the unit that cools the house down. In the winter we need to heat our homes and in most cases this is done with natural gas which runs the heater. We also need to heat our water so we can have hot water for our sinks and for bathing.

This means using things like solar power or a solar heat exchanger. These are great little devices that take energy from and convert that energy to heat that we can use to make hot water. This can give us all a great amount of savings all year round. There are a couple kinds of exchangers and technologies used to make this happen.

The first is a liquid to liquid method. With this method there is a chemical liquid that circulates through the pipes of the machine. As the solar panels gather sunlight and create heat in the coils where the chemical liquid is, that now hot liquid circulates around and makes its way to a tank that holds your water.

The heated chemical filled pipes now circulate around the water tank and then end up heating the water inside. The other methods essentially work the same way but they just use different things to heat things. This is why they are called exchangers. One thing gets heated, transfers the heat to something else and then gets heated again and repeats the entire process.

The methods used are very good, clean, and very efficient. They do not use a lot of energy to do the job they do and at the same time they create a lot of energy. This is why so many people are now buying and installing these into their homes. The government is also now giving tax breaks to people who are making energy saving changes.

a solar heat exchanger is a good way to do many things. You will save yourself money because you will not have to use as much gas to heat your water. If you use it to heat the air in your home in the winter you will save money there too. IN addition you will get a tax break and also feel much better because of what you are doing for you planet.
