Then why do they have immersion heaters built in?

Like I have already said, I was only trying to help with a new technology that people may not be aware of

Hi
The thermodynamic stuff looks interesting but where would you get training for it ?

Then why do they have immersion heaters built in?

Maybe to run a defrost cycle and pasteurisation cycle? Not enough info about take make judgement on it yet for me. Concept is good/interesting though.

Google thermodynamic panels, they can provide hot water 100 per cent of the time, 365 days a year, not like solar thermal, which needs the sun to generate returns.

They don't work the same as solar panels 24/7/365.

They have immersion heaters built in that are automatically controlled, you can't switch them off.

Also they are noisy so be careful who you sell them to as soon as they hear the noise they could be asking for their old cylinder back.

My problem with them is they is very little (if any) honesty in the way they are sold.

No, to heat the water, they are not all they appear.

Interesting points peteheat and didn't think of the noise issue associated with the compressor.

Wouldn't mind seeing a set up to cast my own judgement before suggesting them as an option to a potential customer.

Appears you think like I do, I highly recommend that course of action.

Out of interest why would saving 60% of your hot water bill be a joke?

Its because its 60% of a small figure (Gas usage for DHW isnt that high annually)

Depends on the number of people in the house, obviously more people = more showers, baths, etc basically more hot water.

If you have an annual bill of £100.00 for all hot water needs in your home then be thankful as you don't need to look at alternatives yet.

You're lucky yours is a small figure.
