Advantages and Savings
A logical solution
The installation of a ThermDrain is the most logical solution for a homeowner looking at reducing his energy consumption.
Drain water heat recovery technology will recover up to 50% of the heat before being drained to the sewer thereby reducing the cost of water heating for your shower by half.
For example, if the incoming cold water to your home is 10 °C, the ThermoDrain will preheat it to 26°C at no cost. The ThermoDrain heat exchanger is equivalent to a 10kW heater element preheating your cold water for free.
For a typical residential application, the payback period on an ThermoDrain investment varies from 3 to 5 years including installation costs. On average, for a home with an electric hot water heater, the ThermoDrain will result in a potential annual savings of $343.00. That is $85.75 in savings per person per year.
