Why using wood pellets is better than burning fossil fuels One of the best modern alternatives to gas, oil and coal fired central heating and hot water systems are wood pellet or biomass boilers. A pellet boiler is a long-term,
It’s difficult to compare COPs between heat pumps and solar hot water systems because it depends on when you are measuring them. A solar hot water system using only 30W for the pump will be returning up to 2kW of
The Chartered Institution of Building Services Engineers (‘CIBSE’) bring to you three online lunch time sessions that will provide a comprehensive overview of wood pellet fuel and boiler technology for the replacement of fossil fuel boilers in commercial applications. The
The energy needed to heat hot water has to come from somewhere. The more renewable the energy is, the less greenhouse gas emissions are created. Plus the more efficient the technology the less energy that is needed. Isn’t carbon bad?
Pellet Boilers from Apricus Eco Hot Water & Heating In New Zealand, wood pellet fuel is 100% made from waste sawdust and wood shavings, bi-products of the timber milling industry in this country. There are minimal alternative uses for these
We can all play a role in developing a more energy-efficient economy using lower carbon, cleaner technologies in our buildings. By focusing on decarbonising energy our government is starting to deliver on the commitments we made in the Zero Carbon
Replacing your instantaneous gas hot water system with a C02 heat pump system is easy. Making the change has many benefits including ongoing energy savings and a reduction in your carbon footprint, by using highly renewable NZ electricity combined with
What is a CO₂ heat pump? Heat pump water heaters absorb warmth from the air, amplify it and transfer it to heat water. Therefore, they are also referred to as ‘air-source heat pumps’. Heat pumps use electricity to operate the
Generally, flat plate systems are cheaper, but there are many good reasons to pay a little bit more for evacuated tube solar hot water collectors. See below: They capture more of the sun’s energy at a given time because they
The Ministry of Business & Innovation (MBIE) are asking for people to get in touch for a share of $28 million for Renewable Energy and Decarbonisation in Maori housing. Apricus can partner with you to serve your communities and improve
Will I have hot water on cloudy days? Yes your solar system will still generate some hot water on cloudy days, but it will not produce as much as on sunny days. Therefore, the back up electric element will kick
A common problem we have found with existing installations is that the companies that originally supplied or installed the systems are no longer operating. There will be plenty of systems out there that may require some spare parts or replacement
