Using A Solar Heat Exchanger To Heat Your Home

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.

For some people it is more than just saving money it comes down to helping the planet. There is a very big movement to push the non renewable energy out and replace it with renewable energy sources. The more fossil fuels we use up the less we will have in the future. These do not come back once they are expended and that is what worries people.

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.

So we need natural gas for our hot water as well as our heating in the winter time. This gas costs money and a lot of it. It has also gone up considerably over the last few years. All of our energy costs have. So we can find ways to bring this cost down. One of the best ways and cheapest ways to do this is with a solar heat exchanger.

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 units are not too large but the work with the other things that we already have installed in our homes so that the disruption is minimal. They start by collecting solar energy from the sunlight that hits our homes daily. They take that energy and heat a liquid chemical in some insulated pipes that run through the unit.

This method actually works to heat water throughout the day and whenever you need it. It also works in the winter to heat the air that goes through a blower just like the natural gas heater would work. They all work on the exact same principles except instead of natural gas it uses the solar power to do all of the work.

A solar heat exchanger is a great way to get into the solar power movement and to help with the planets need for renewable energy. We all need to do what we can and to do our part. In doing so we are at least doing something and we need to all put in something. If we do nothing then nothing will ever get done.
