Kym Jackson of Airnergy

Following on from our successful article about heating the home we have decided to Spot-light heat pumps. This new trend in water heating that's fast gaining momentum in South Africa! Whether in homes, hotels, or guesthouses, water heating accounts for a large portion of electricity usage. With increased electricity costs, everyone's looking to cut down.

Water heaters work on the same heat-pump principle as air conditioners, extracting ambient heat from the atmosphere but, instead, transferring it to water. Thus, where in a normal geyser, 1kW of electrical energy produces just 1kW of heat energy, with a heat-pump; 1kW of electrical energy produces approximately 3kW of free heat energy. The result is water heated for only approximately a third of the electrical usage of a normal household geyser. You save two thirds on your water heating costs! .

Community Network had a meeting with Kym Jackson, We found out how to drastically cut electricity bills. With the rising cost of living, you can't afford NOT to read further. Please contact Kym to find out more and don't forget to mention Community Network as your source. Find out more.
