Heat recovery for hot water

Recovering heat that would otherwise be lost is an effective way to improve the energy efficiency of domestic hot water production. By capturing available thermal energy from building systems or renewable energy sources, heat recovery solutions help reduce overall energy consumption while supporting more sustainable residential buildings.

Why recover heat for domestic hot water?

Domestic hot water represents a significant share of household energy consumption. Recovering available heat before it is lost allows this energy to be reused instead of generating it again.

Heat recovery solutions help to:

  • Reduce energy consumption for domestic hot water production
  • Improve the overall efficiency of building systems
  • Make better use of recovered and renewable energy
  • Support energy-efficient and low-carbon residential buildings

Ubbink supports heat recovery applications with integrated ventilation and ductwork solutions that are designed for efficient performance and straightforward installation.

Whether the objective is to reduce operating costs, optimise system efficiency or meet increasingly demanding energy performance requirements, heat recovery offers a practical and future-ready approach to domestic hot water production.

Frequently Asked Questions


What is heat recovery for domestic hot water?

Heat recovery for domestic hot water uses extract air as part of a domestic hot water heat pump system to support energy-efficient hot water production.

How does heat recovery improve energy efficiency?

By making better use of available energy, heat recovery reduces the demand for conventional water heating and supports more energy-efficient homes.

What are the benefits of heat recovery for hot water?

Heat recovery helps reduce energy consumption, improve energy efficiency and make better use of available heat.

Why is extract air ventilation important?

Efficient extract air ventilation supports the performance of domestic hot water systems. Compatible insulated ductwork helps prevent condensation while maintaining efficient airflow with low pressure loss.
