When it comes to making your home more energy efficient, you may have heard of a heat recovery system but wonder if it will take up too much space in your home. The short answer is no, it won’t take up too much space at all.
Heat recovery systems are designed to be compact and unobtrusive. In fact, many modern heat recovery systems are so small that you’ll barely notice them at all – they can easily be installed in the ceilings or walls of your home without taking up any valuable living space.
One of the main benefits of a heat recovery system is that it can help reduce your energy bills by recovering heat from one part of the house and transferring it to another. For example, if you have a large family room that’s often used, a heat recovery system can capture the warm air created by the people in the room and move it to other parts of the house such as bedrooms or hallways where it can help keep them warmer for longer.
But how does this work? Heat recovery systems use two fans which draw air from different rooms in your house and then pass it through an internal ‘heat exchanger’. The fans push warm air through one side of the exchanger while cooler air is pulled through the other side, allowing some of the warm air’s energy to transfer over to the cooler side and increase its temperature. This means that you’re able to make use of warm air created in one area and spread warmth throughout your entire home – without having to generate any additional heat energy or pay for extra electricity costs!
The great thing about these systems is that they don’t take up much space compared with other types of heating solutions like radiators which require floor or wall space to be installed. Plus, modern heat recovery systems are also very quiet – so you won’t even notice them running!
In short, if you’re looking for an efficient way to make your home more comfortable while still saving money on energy bills then a heat recovery system could be just what you need – and best of all, they don’t take up too much space in your home at all!
