I love seeing new innovative ways to provide a solution to heating especially here in Canada, where it can get bitter cold. Come take a look at this cool concept in heating, and tell me what you think.
The sun sends enough energy to Earth in an hour to meet all the Earth's energy needs for a whole year!
Contrary to popular belief, the winter sun is very powerful and generates large amounts of heat. The solar air heaters take advantage of this advantage in an optimal way.
The complete air heater system usually details around $ 2,500 (Canadian) for a basic system.
After the solar hot air system is installed, no special maintenance is required. Cleaning the air intake filter is very easy if necessary
Conservatively, it can be calculated that the air heater will be able to provide 20-25% of the heating requirements in a space of 1000 sq.ft. For a high-energy residence.
