Quantum Water Heater vs Conventional Solar

Quantum Offers All the Advantages of a Conventional Flat Plate Solar Water Heater - but it's available 24 hours a day - rain, hail or shine!

If you’ve already made the decision to switch to solar energy then there is just one more decisions to be made – A heat pump or conventional Flat Plate solar system?  Listed below are just some of the differences between a Quantum heat pump and a conventional Flat Plate Solar system, which shows Quantum as offering many attractive advantages.

Solar Requirements

·        The Quantum heat pump does not rely on direct sunlight for its operation. Due to its advanced design the unit will produce hot water in all weather conditions, even at night; it simply absorbs heat energy from the environment.

·        The Quantum Compact can be located in any external location around the building. It definitely does not need to "face north" in order collect solar energy like conventional Flat Plate Solar units.

Aesthetics...

·        As the Quantum heat pump does not use any panels it cannot be damaged by heavy hail, as the glass panels of a conventional Flat Plate solar hot water system often can be.

·        The Quantum hot water storage tank is installed at ground level, thereby providing ease of maintenance and not imposing any additional weight on the roof.

·        With a Quantum heat pump there is no need for those unsightly frames, which tilt the collectors to the required vertical angles as conventional Solar Flat Plate solar require.

Durability...

·        In cold climates some Flat Plate Solar collectors suffer severe damage from frost. Because the Quantum Compact has no panels there is absolutely no risk of damage from freezing.

·        The evaporator coil on the Quantum Compact is specially coated to protect it from corrosion, which helps to keep your Quantum running at peak efficiency over its long operational life.

Costs...

·        The Quantum heat pump has no gas or electric "booster element" in the tank as required in conventional Flat Plate Solar units. The low cost of running the compressor in a Quantum means that the heat pump can actually be more economical to run than a conventional Flat Plate Solar water heater.

·        As the Quantum does not require roof panels to be installed, the installation process is far less costly and time consuming.

Advantages of Installing a Quantum

Quantum systems have been used for over 30 years to provide hot water for domestic, commercial, industrial, swimming pool and space heating purposes. Manufactured by the leading innovator in the industry, this revolutionary piece of technology is being adopted by more and more homes and businesses everywhere!  What do they know that you don’t yet?  Installing a Quantum hot water system just makes perfect sense!  Here's Why.....

Saves Energy...

·         Uses up to 75% less energy than traditional electric hot water systems.

·         Does not require direct sunlight in order to operate. Due to its patented advanced design the Quantum system will produce hot water in all weather conditions, from -10ËšC up to 40ËšC, even at night. It simply absorbs heat energy from the environment – from thin air!

Saves Money...

·         Due to State and Federal Government rebates encouraging more and more homes and businesses to switch to solar energy – Quantum heat pumps are now available for around the same price of an electric or gas hot water system.

·        Heating water is the leading contributor to your home energy bill.  By installing a Quantum heat pump you can expect to enjoy up to a 75% reduction in your hot water running costs. For most families this means that the initial cost (if any) is paid back in savings within the year.

Reduces Your Carbon Footprint...

·        The Quantum heat pump absorbs energy from a renewable  and free energy source – The Sun.  With only minimal amounts of electricity required to operate, installing a Quantum makes perfect sense in the fight to reduce your carbon footprint and reduce global warming.

·        Heating water is the largest source of greenhouse gas emissions in the home.  Quantum systems use significantly less energy, (approximately 75% less then traditional electric hot water heaters), therefore dramatically reduces the amount of greenhouse gasses produced.

Tremendous Efficiency...

·        The Quantum heat pump works in temperatures as low as -10ËšC and up to 40+ËšC, day and night without the need for boosting, and only a Quantum can do that!

·        The COP (Coefficient of Performance) of a Quantum heat pump is 325%! This is compared to an average electric hot water system’s COP of less than 100%.  What this really means is that the Quantum unit consumes much less energy to achieve the same output of power.  

Easy to Install...

·        As easy to install as a conventional electric system.  There is no need for complicated or expensive “special plumbing” work to be carried out.

·        No solar panels are required.  The unit is installed at ground level, not on the roof, thereby not imposing any large additional weight on the roof.
