Reach out to the solar water experts
More and more companies are getting on board with servicing, selling, and installing water heaters. However, as a result of being new to the game, they simply don’t yet have the expertise that you should demand from a service company. On the other hand, The Stanley Louis Company has been working with residential solar water solutions since 1981. We know the pros and cons of every system out there and we know how to give you the information you need to make the most informed decision possible.
Let us help you understand solar water heaters and how they work
One of the reasons some families are nervous about moving to a solar water heater is because they don’t understand how they work. If you’re in this boat, feel free to call The Stanley Louis Company at 800-217-6527 to get answers to your questions.
While some solar water heaters work differently than others, they all use the same principle: Water runs out of your supply line and goes into a solar collector. There it’s heated by the energy of the sun and flows to a storage tank that’s insulated to keep it hot. It stays there until it’s needed by you.
Which type of solar heater is best for you?
Before you decide which type of solar heater to have installed, it’s important to understand the differences. One of the main differences between residential water heaters is how they get the water moving through the system. An active water heater will have an electric pump that moves the water from the supply line to the collector and then to the storage tank.
On the other hand, a passive solar heater uses the fact that hot water has a natural tendency to rise to move the water that’s been heated from the collector and through to the tank. In this case, the tank must be above the solar heater. The right option varies depending on your needs, though if you’re considering a solar pool heater then we’ll likely recommend an active system that’s able to move water from the collector installed on your roof down into the pool.
Before we recommend the right option for your individual home, we’ll carefully consider a wide variety of factors. We’ll consider what would be most convenient, most cost effective, and most effective. We’ll consider any specific needs or wants you have. We can then lay out all the options, their pros and cons, and estimates for each. Only then will you need to make a decision about which solar water heater to choose for your home.
