Saxon Hot Water

Saxon Compact Solar Heat Pumps
Saxon Solar Heat Pumps are one of the cheapest and most energy efficient water heating systems. The efficient design of the Saxon Solar Heat Pump does not rely on direct sunlight for its operation. Heat energy is drawn from the air and this allows hot water to be produced both day and night in all seasons of the year. The Saxon Solar Heat Pump is an ideal energy efficient alternative for situations where installation of solar water heaters is difficult or not practical.

How it works!
Refrigerant runs through a fan coil (the evaporator) and because the refrigerant is colderthan air, it collects heat energy from the air, which vaporizes the refrigerant. This vapor is then compressed, raising its pressure and temperature. The high temperature vapor is passed through coils of copper tube immersed in the water heater tank. As the refrigerant vapor condenses back into its liquid form, it gives off its heat to the stored water.

It's not complex!
The Saxon Solar Heat Pump is easy to install, similar to a conventional electric water heater. The unit has the same components and works much in the same way as a normal household refrigerator. The only difference is that the heat pump produces heat rather than cold. Unlike a conventional solar water heater it can produce hot water both day and night, as well as cloudy days when the sun doesn't shine. Saxon will also help you claim RECS and Government rebates applicable to your energy efficient water heater. Choosing a Saxon Solar Heat Pump can save you up to a massive 70% off your hot water energy costs as well as significantly reducing greenhouse emissions.
