I own a Climate Master Geothermal unit (2005 Model) GSV 060 with a HWG (hot water generator). Bought the house last month. My last month hydro was 3528 kW/h. At $0.21 KW/h my hydro bill was $740.00 (including tax in Ontario Canada.
The HWG is plumbed to the hot water tank although I believe the contractor installed the unit improperly. I have a photo I would like to attach showing the orange lines (In & Out from the HWG) plumbed to the bottom of the 80 gallon HWT. Why would junction (four way including the drain) be plumbed this way. Obviously the HWT is hotter that in output from the HWG.. so wouldn't that "draw"hot water from the tank making the HWT continuously create more hot water? I apologize I'm confused with HWG systems but it just doesn't seem right to me.
I'm still trying to make every attempt to reduce my hydro consumption.
Any help appreciated.
