Racold’s heat pump water geyser is designed according to European standards to ensure safety and superior conduction of heat.

Is a heat pump water geyser energy efficient?

A heat pump water heater does not create heat but instead uses electricity to absorb heat from the air to transfer it to the water. As it relies on this mechanism, it makes it 2-3 times more energy efficient than traditional water heaters. This also allows you to save up to 70% on electricity. What’s even more interesting is that heat pump water geysers have a tank capacity that is similar to traditional storage geysers so there is no compromise on the amount of hot water.

What are the maintenance requirements of a heat pump water geyser?

An important part of a heat pump geyser is the air filter which needs to be cleaned regularly to ensure the smooth functioning of your geyser. With regards to the overall maintenance, it is similar to that of a standard electric water heater.

Where is a heat pump water heater to be installed?

How does a solar water heater work?

A solar geyser relies on solar power, which is a source of renewable energy, to work. For a solar water heater to work it requires a set of solar collectors to absorb the solar energy. These collectors are then connected to an insulated tank that stores the hot water. When the sun is out, water is heated in the solar collectors which is then pumped or flown automatically through the thermosyphon principle to the storage tank.

Why should I choose a Solar Water Heater? How much can I save if I use one?

As a solar geyser works on solar power, it cancels out the need for electricity. Let’s take for example a solar water heating system that has a 100 litre per day capacity. This solar geyser saves up to 1500 units of electricity in a year. However, this is subject to the amount of hot water that has been generated. But what’s more important is that it can also save around 140 litres of diesel thereby reducing CO2 emissions. A solar water heater is very useful in areas that experience power cuts. As this solar water heating system is designed with a storage unit, it can provide hot water as and when required. A solar water heater is an one time investment and a lifetime of savings because it runs on the principle of renewable energy.

For how long does the water from a solar geyser remain hot?

As the tank in a Racold solar water heater is insulated with high-density injected PUF insulation, it ensures maximum heat retention. PUF with insulation properties is twice as effective as any other insulation material. This guarantees that the water remains relatively hot.

Does a solar geyser heat water during the winter season and on cloudy days?

With Racold’s solar geyser, you will be able to enjoy warm water even during the colder months or when the sky is cloudy. This is due to the diffused radiation readily available in the atmosphere. During winter season, if there is clear sunlight, the water will be hotter. One way of ensuring hot water and direct sunlight throughout the year is by positioning the solar water heater correctly at the time of installation.

Do I have to change plumbing at my place to install and use solar water heater?

No, since solar water heaters are generally installed on rooftops or open grounds (where direct sunlight is available) you are not required to make any plumbing changes.

Will I have to install my solar water heater by myself?
