In an Era of Rising Energy Prices, Heliofan — a member of the Agelopoulos Group — offers you a smart and reliable solution for Solar Heating Support, ideal for any home or commercial space.
How Does the Heating Revolution Work?
The Heliofan system captures solar energy through high-efficiency titanium selective collectors, converts it into heat, and stores it in high thermal capacity buffer tanks. The stored heat supports the existing central heating system, significantly reducing fuel or electricity consumption.
Impressive Benefits for the Environment and Your Wallet
- Energy Savings: 40% to 80% reduction in heating energy consumption, depending on installation conditions and usage.
- Even Greater Savings in Ideal Conditions: With proper design and installation, savings can reach up to 80%, especially in systems like underfloor heating.
