Will the Ecoheat Solar system replace my current heating system?

This will depend on the winter temperatures you experience. In mild climates you may not require any other heating or only minimal supplementary heating. In colder climates you will need additional heating but on a subtstantially reduced scale. This occurs because the additional energy required to raise the internal temperatures to a comfortable level is much less due to the heating provided by the solar system. Some users have experienced a reduction of up to 80%.

What happens at night?

When the sun sets the Ecoheat solar system shuts down and locks off the warm air ducting so that the building retains the heat. You will arrive home to a warm environment and ventilated home. 

How does it cool the house in summer? 

During the summer months Ecoheat monitors the drop in night temperatures and is automatically activated to deliver the cooler night air into the buidling. This cool fresh air then rapidly reduces the internal temperature providing a pleaseant relief from the heat.

How much does it cost to run?

Less than 1 cent per hour.

How big an area will the Ecoheat solar system heat?

Our standard domestic system is designed to comfortably heat a house of up to 20 squares (about 185 square meters).

What are the benefits of ventilation?

The system when operating delivers approximately 240 cubic metres of fresh air into the building which is equivalent to the volume of a 3 car garage. This fresh air replaces the stale inside air providing a healthier living environment. Ecoheat clients enjoy and experience this great benefit.

How much does the system cost compared to other heating options?

When comparing our system to other forms of heating you should take into account the competitors capital purchase price, installation costs and running costs. Our system is very competitive with all competing heating products. Once installed the only cost incurred is running the fan.

I have a drafty house, will this affect the system's ability to keep it warm?

The system works by replacing the air in your home. If your house was sealed tight we would have to make it a little leaky. eg. By keeping a window open to allow the cold air to be pushed out by the warm incoming air.

My house is not well insulated, how will this affect the way the system works?

Just like any heating system, the better insulated your house is the more heat will be retained inside.
