Hallo!
Ich wende mich heute mal an die Hausbesitzer in Florida, speziell in Lee County und wollte mal anfragen, ob jemand von Euch eine Heat Recovery Unit installiert hat? Ich meine das hier: (Gemäß der Beschreibung müsste man doch relativ viel Energie und damit Stromkosten sparen können, und würde auch etwas für die Umwelt tun. Jedenfalls wesentlich günstiger als Solar panels auf dem Dach). Über Eure Erfahrungen und Meinungen zum Thema würde ich mich freuen!

[h=2]Heat Recovery Unit Program[/h]
LCEC is proud to offer an environmentally friendly way for you to conserve energy and reduce your electric bill. The LCEC Heat Recovery Unit (HRU) Program is a partnership with select local air conditioning contractors to provide HRU installation to you at a discounted price.
[h=3]How does a Heat Recovery Unit (HRU) work?[/h]An HRU takes the waste heat expelled during the air-conditioning process and uses it to heat your hot water. Your hot-water tank becomes a storage unit for the hot water, rather than the source for heating it. During air-conditioning season, you can shut off the breaker to the hot-water system and virtually heat your water for free.
[h=3]LCEC’s HRU Program Details[/h]
[h=3]What are the benefits?[/h]Savings! The more people in your home, the more you save. For example, a family of four using their air conditioner for nine months can save 3,105 kW per year. That’s a savings of more than $300 a year in electrical costs with an estimated three-year payback on the initial investment to install the unit. Needless to say, if you use your air conditioner more than nine months, the payback will be even sooner.
