What you need to know about thermodynamic panels

Are you worried about energy bills? There’s a reason to be, especially as prices have doubled since 2004 and are expected to double again by 2020. This has had a major effect on your expenses and you’ve now got less disposable income at the end of the month.

So if you’re keen to make changes, then it’s time to consider solar thermodynamic panels for your home.

Thermodynamics are more efficient than regular solar panels you’ve probably seen on properties in your area as they’re fully functional throughout the year, even at night.

This is great for the winter when there’s typically only seven hours of daylight. Thermodynamic panels will also work better in low temperatures, down to as little as -8 degrees.

What are thermodynamic panels?

You’ve probably heard of renewable energy and thermodynamics are included in this group. They’re typically fitted to your rooftop and absorb natural energy to provide your home with heat and hot water. In fact, thermodynamics are the most efficient renewable product available and work in a reverse way to refrigerators, which remove heat.

How do thermodynamic panels work?

Heat from the air is absorbed into the panels and transferred into a fluid, which circulates the system. It then passes through a compressor to increase the temperature and ensure it’s suitable for your home. The panels can link up with your radiators, underfloor heating and even your boiler to provide heat and hot water.

What are the benefits of thermodynamics?

Thermodynamics require a small amount of electricity to run, which isn’t a problem because of the huge savings you can make on your full household bill. In fact, you can slash expenses by as much as 80%, whilst cutting carbon emissions too. That means with thermodynamics you can bolster your bank balance whilst helping the environment at the same time.

How are thermodynamics installed?

The number of thermodynamic panels you need depends on your home. Typically you’ll require between two and 10 panels fitted to the rooftop. With an installation you’ll also receive the hot water tank and full control system.

For hot water heating you should have around two panels, whilst full heating would need as many as eight. This would be appropriate for a three or four bedroom property.

The amount you can expect to pay for thermodynamics will vary accordingly depending on how many panels your system uses. And the good news is you won’t need to worry about maintenance which is very minimal.
