What is a Desuperheater?

There are a variety of new products on the market that look to deliver hot water more efficiently. New technologies such as on-demand generation, heat pump water heaters are just a few options available. Do these options make sense for residents in Fort Wayne ?

A desuperheater is a component that captures the normally wasted heat created by a unit's compressor and applies it to condition the water. Although excess heat is created in both heating and cooling modes, the hot water benefit is greatest while the unit is cooling. During the summer months, geothermal units run more often and can supply most, if not all, of your hot water. During the colder fall, winter, and spring months - when the desuperheater isn't capturing as much excess heat - you'll have to use your existing water heating method.
