Solar space heating system is an effective and excellent way to minimize costly energy bills during your heating season. A solar space heater works along with your existing heating kit to use solar energy to minimize your consumption of oil, propane, or other fossil fuels.

Using solar evacuated tube collectors, this system work to deliver free solar heating for your home throughout your entire heating system. These heating systems can be combined with solar ready ultra high efficiency heat pump chiller.

Why Do You Invest in Solar Space Heater? 

On an average, an American family spends over $2,000 a year in heating costs. Over the time, heating systems operated through fossil fuels, like oil, propane and natural gas continue to rise in cost.

As the name suggests, you can take advantage of sun’s free and abundant energy for heating your home by using a solar space heater. When you use this system for heating your home, it can significantly minimize fuel bills during winter. Another main reason behind using this system is it heats up residential hot water efficiently.

In addition, this heating kit will help you minimize the amount of air pollution and harmful greenhouse gases produced from the usage of fossil fuels like oil, propane and other petroleum products. The solar collectors are rated, tested and certified by the SRCC. In fact, your solar space heater allows you take advantage of different rebates and financial incentives including the Federal 30% tax credit.

How Does Solar Space Heating System Work?

A solar space heating system works along with your existing hydronic or hot water based heating system. The solar collectors start circulating fluid through the solar array where it’s heated and transferred back to solar storage tank.

When the heated fluid starts circulating through the storage tank, the water inside the tank is heated. The temperature in the solar storage tank can reach anywhere between 130F and 175F.

The hot water used by your existing heating system like in a radiant floor system is circulated through a heat exchanger in the storage tank.

 When water passes through the heat exchanger, it gets warm and returns to your heating system. It keeps your heating system off effectively or significantly minimizes the amount of time it runs. This means, your home is going to be warm by using free energy from the sun.

An additional heat exchanger is used with solar space heating kits to deliver residential hot water. It’s especially effective during summer when the heating system remains inactive.

The solar space heating systems are more often designed to fit your specific application and home requirements perfectly. They can be used to provide heat for other systems like for a pool. Moreover, solar space heating systems can be used in different home heating systems and are considered as a perfect way to minimize your monthly energy costs.
