I've just been to look at my house and its nearly finished but there's one thing I overlooked and that was having hot water. I want hot water in 3 bathrooms and in the kitchen.
I like the idea of the air-con water heaters, where you have a 75 liter water tank and use the hot gas from the air con unit to heat the water. Running the aircon for 2 hours heats the tank to about 60ºc.
I spoke to the site foreman today and he said that all the houses on the mooban had been set up to except a standard electric water heater and he didn't really know a lot about aircon water heaters.
So I've got a few questions.
Does anyone here use the system?
Can anyone recommend a good company in the Bangkok area?
How much does the system cost for a single tank unit?
Is this something that can easily be plumbed in to a regular house system or is it something that should have been set up whilst the house was being built?
Does the water tank need to be right next to the aircon out door unit or can the gas be pumped from anywhere to the tank?
Cheers
