Since launching its thermodynamic water heater in 2017, Solamics Bunsen Air is proving time and again that this solar hot water system is the ideal renewable upgrade for any home that uses oil as its primary source of hot water heating. Not only this, but an update that can take place at any time, even if it is not an immediate possibility.
Solamics Bunsen Air has recorded a number of case studies, in which customers are delighted to have found that after just one week, they have been able to disconnect the oil supply to the hot water completely, and that Bunsen Air is doing everything possible. I work hard for them, day and night, whether it’s wet, windy, hot or cold outside.
Let’s take a look at some of these case studies and how Bunsen Air has helped numerous families across the country by significantly reducing their oil use …
Quenching my oil
Case Study 1- Jane, Yorkshire
The place
A large period rural property, accommodating a busy family of 4.
The problem
Jane had a large family and with this came a great demand for water. In addition to the added uncertainty that energy bills were increasing every year, Jane’s house was also running on oil. This meant that Jane had a huge oil tank that was filled four times a year and an oil boiler that controlled hot water and central heating.
In warmer weather, Jane would turn off the central heating, but used the oil boiler for hot water several times a day, as well as needing to increase it any other time her family needed hot water, especially on the weekend. All in all … a very expensive way to heat water.
In addition to the fact that Jane’s oil boiler needed regular service (which made her uncomfortable knowing that burning oil is actually not very environmentally friendly), it also took up a lot of space, was extremely noisy, and had a high maintenance, all for a while. hot water heating method which, compared to others, really has a rather low efficiency.
Jane wanted something modern that would fit into her family and lifestyle, with so many responsibilities, working full time and being a mother and wife, Jane wanted a product that would be a good long term water heating solution and help her save money.
Jane knew that, judging by the calculations, heating water was something the family did regularly and at such a high cost that it seemed like the most sensible renewable solution to investigate.
He first investigated solar thermal products, but living in Yorkshire with a notoriously bad climate, he dismissed this idea as they rely too much on the sun to be consistently effective.
So, he explored air-source heat pumps, but in addition to being very noisy, their efficiency may also depend on air temperature, so he discarded this idea as well. Similarly, ground-source heat pumps can be expensive as they would require a complete overhaul of your heating system.
Jane hoped to find a system that was efficient, quiet, high-quality, and attractive, but most importantly, return your investment money and be a long-term solution for her and her family.
Finally, Jane stumbled upon solar-assisted heat pumps
The solution
While Jane was shopping, she discovered the Bunsen Air Solar Assisted Heat heat pump and naturally made some comparisons with similar products on the market, she was able to distinguish some key features that made it the most attractive and suitable option for her. .
A sleek, modern look
High power and efficiency
The highest possible ERP rating for such a product
Cheaper than its competitors
Jane also found that this system used a rotary compressor, providing greater power and efficiency but with the lowest sound level on the market, meaning the system would not be harmful to her or her family overnight.
She contacted Solamics Bunsen Air, who were able to offer support at their training center located within their distribution warehouse, answering any questions she had, which was a great relief to Jane as she had found it difficult to access. level of support from other companies. with whom he had come into contact.
Since Jane already had a water cylinder, the Bunsen Air would be easy to install as it would simply connect to her existing flow and return lines. He knew where he could mount the panels and he decided on the roof, which was open to all the natural elements.
Jane now uses a thermodynamic water heater instead of her oil burner, her water is heated for when she and her family need it thanks to her automatic controller, and since Jane had a water cylinder, the Bunsen Air system has also provided her with allowed to have a regular water flow and supply without loss of water pressure.
Janes Bunsen’s solar air-assisted heat pump now accounts for 100% of your hot water needs. You don’t need to keep burning oil, and your carbon footprint has dropped so much that you need smaller shoes.
Last minute solution
As well as being a fantastic opportunity to upgrade your existing hot water system into a renewable solar hot water system and cut off the oil supply, the Bunsen Air can also be seen as a last minute or future prospect, like Kath and Kevin. discovered …
Case Study 2â € Š-â € ŠKath and Kevinâ € Š-â € Š France to Stokesley
Case study
The situation
Kath and Kevin have recently moved to North Yorkshire from the South of France where their water heating experience is not one they would like to repeat …
Their French home was a very large house with numerous bathrooms and, living away from their friends and family, they often had guests to stay.
There was no gas connection to the house as he was in an extremely rural location (nestled between two vineyards to be exact), meaning that his entire house was powered by electricity.
To supply hot water to the whole house, two water cylinders were needed, which were electrically heated by an immersion heater.
In an attempt to try to cut electricity costs to heat the water, Kevin connected timers to his immersion heater, with the incentive that it would only heat water at certain times of the day, but in turn made spontaneous water use difficult. hot.
When making the decision to return to the UK, Kath and Kevin, who shared a great interest in property development, decided that they would look for a property to renovate.
When they found that property, they thought about incorporating a solar hot water system, with the intention that this solar system becomes a totally reliable source of hot water for your home and, in turn, significantly reduces your energy bills.
The problem
The sale of their French home meant that after purchasing their new home, Kath and Kevin only had enough money to partially renovate. Fortunately, they were also selling their existing UK home, but until the money from this sale was made, they had to make do with what they had, which was a house that was running out of oil.
Knowing that they needed a new water cylinder anyway, as the existing one was extremely old and needed to be replaced, Kevin investigated what renewable solar hot water options were available and if he could eventually retrofit such a system to his existing circuit.
Solar thermal power was an option, but given the rise in awareness and popularity of thermodynamic replacements, and a rise in understanding that thermodynamic hot water systems can produce hot water in any weather and at night, he ruled out solar thermal energy. It just wasn’t that efficient or reliable.
Kath and Kevin needed something that could become a totally reliable source of hot water and an upgrade from what they currently have, rather than a backup (which is what solar thermal would be).
The solution
In doing his research, Kevin had come across an existing Bunsen Air article, which discussed the supreme benefits that oil users could experiment with installing a Bunsen Air, as an upgrade to their existing water circuit.
He contacted Solamics and spoke to a Bunsen Air dealer, who, having explained to him that until the sale of their existing UK house was completed, they would not have the money to buy and install a Bunsen, cautioned that this it was not like that. to import …
Kevin had also explained that he would need to replace his cylinder urgently, since he was fully warned.
Solamics Bunsen Air clarified that this was all fine, all that was required in the initial renovation work on Kath and Kevin’s house was for their new water cylinder to be installed in a location that could also house the adjacent Bunsen cylinder and the tubing to the external thermodynamic panels. could wear comfortably.
In light of this, Kath and Kevin installed their new cylinder upstairs, in a room where they knew that when they could afford their Bunsen solar air-assisted heat pump, it would install easily.
With evidence to suggest that existing oil users have been able to disconnect their oil supply to hot water completely, there is no reason why the Bunsen will not start to cover 100% of Kath and Kevin’s hot water needs. Š-â € ŠMaking the Bunsen a totally reliable solar modernization upgrade … 100% worth the investment, and in your case … 100% worth the wait!
Other Bunsen Air Reviews
Along with these case studies, Solamics Bunsen Air has received a number of feedback from customers who are delighted that they were able to completely disconnect their oil supply to hot water.
Hughie Gaughanâ € Š-â € ŠBradfordâ € Š-â € Š October 25, 2017
“I’m on oil and had enough of spending money heating my hot water. Future Thermo installed the Bunsen Air which now heats all my hot water needs for less than £ 0.18 a day! Year on my oil bill! Very man! happy” .
Tony Lee-Jamiesonâ € Š-â € ŠSussex
“I was moving into a new property that was already powered by oil. Oil would not have been my first choice, so I looked for solar hot water solutions even before I moved in. I made arrangements to install the Bunsen Air before I moved to the Owned correctly and I’m very happy I did. The technicians are great, they didn’t need to connect the oil supply to the hot water. “
Alongside the system as a fantastic solar water heating option for those who already run on oil, and whose homes are already equipped with a hot water cylinder, Bunsen remains the most powerful thermodynamic heat pump option for any home that seek to improve. your carbon footprint and save on energy bills!
