Let the Sunshine In
Solar heaters—also called solar thermal systems—provide environmentally friendly ways to heat water for many household uses. These systems collect the sun’s energy to heat either air or a fluid. The air or fluid then transfers the sun’s heat directly or indirectly to your home. Today’s solar heating systems not only keep swimming pools warm, they can also heat much of your water and interior rooms.

Solar water heaters are a great investment for you and your family because they are cost effective for many uses over the life of the system. Although solar water heaters cost more up-front than conventional water heaters, the fuel they use—sunshine—is 100% free, and abundant in our Florida climate.
The popularity of solar heating is increasing for several reasons: first, the systems are reliable, adaptable and pollution-free because they use renewable energy from the sun. Second, they’re also more streamlined—some systems include sleek, attractive, low-profile collectors that people often mistake for skylights.
