With today’s rising energy costs and the threat of global warming, harnessing the power of the sun for domestic hot water production and space heating makes both economic and environmental sense.

Producing domestic hot water can account for up to $1,200.00 of your yearly energy bill. If you rely on an electric hot water heater your costs could be even higher. During the winter months even with the shorter day light hours, a solar system can substantially reduce the amount of fossil fueled energy required to raise your domestic hot water to its operating temperature. This is also true for those cloudy days we experience year round. Every Btu of solar energy you can harvest out of a system reduces your fossil fuel footprint. Solar energy can also supply 50% or more of your space heating needs, especially when used in conjunction with a low temperature radiant heat system or fan coil units.

Heliodyne's parallel header design ensures equal flow thru each collector resulting in higher efficiencies and heat transfer.

Other manufacturers are still using serpentine looping in their collector systems. These type of collectors are cheaper to produce, cheaper to install, are piped in a series and do not provide year round performance. These systems claim to provide 75% of your annual hot water usage, but our experience is that you should not expect to see more than about 60% to 65% in reality.

Many of the pre-engineered or packaged solar systems utilize glass or enamel lined solar storage tanks that have a warranty of 5 to 7 years. We only use stainless steel  storage tanks in our systems that have a lifetime warranty.    

A domestic hot water solar system designed and installed by Mechanical Innovations Inc. utilizing Gobi flat plate collectors will supply upwards of 80% of your domestic hot water needs year round. We have the technical and practical experience to analyze your hot water needs and design a system that will perform. Why settle for a basic “packaged or pre-engineered” one size fits all solar system when for a few dollars more you can have best!
