A summer full of energy
Discover everything about some new habits you can adopt and choose sustainable solutions thanks to Facq's green home solutions.
Long sunny days, pleasant temperatures, vacation.... long live summer! Summer has everything to put a smile on your face, and offers even more for those who pay attention to their carbon footprint. But how do you heat your domestic hot water? Or how do you cool your home? In short, how can you minimize your impact on the environment this summer?
The thermodynamic water heater
A thermodynamic water heater is designed to produce domestic hot water ecologically and economically. Like a heat pump, it uses heat from the environment. A thermodynamic water heater heats domestic hot water (for baths, showers, kitchens, etc.) by extracting 75% of its energy from the ambient air.
Take advantage of renewable energyThe softener
Find out how to treat your water by installing a softener or a suitable filter. You'll protect your health and your wallet by avoiding impurities, limescale and corrosion in your pipes. Less hard water also benefits the longevity of your sanitary installations and your energy consumption. Thanks to a softener, you can avoid energy-consuming and harmful scaling of pipes and numerous appliances. Did you know that 1 mm of scale increases energy consumption by 10%?
Why and how to treat water?Aerothermal heat pumps
Some air-source heat pump models are reversible. This means they can produce heat in the winter and coolness in the summer.
Solar water heaters
The solar water heater is designed to make the best use of solar thermal energy in combination with a boiler or heat pump. Ideal for domestic hot water.
Fan convector
The fan coil unit is a good choice all year round! And during the summer months, when combined with a reversible heat pump, it provides a pleasantly cool indoor climate.
Ventilation system D
Is it 30°C outside? You won't notice that inside with dual-flow ventilation (system D)! The energy recovered from the air is used to cool the air in your living room. So ventilation works like an air conditioner, but without its energy consumption.

Renewable energy
The air, the sun and the earth energise your home! The calories still present in the air or the earth are captured by heat pumps and released into your radiators. The same goes for the hot water in your showers with a thermodynamic water heater. In short, a heat pump can do everything your boiler can! Lead the way. Break away from fossil fuels and enjoy a comfortable warmth.
Sustainable heating
Less energy for the same feeling of warmth! With underfloor heating and low-temperature radiators, you're already saving over 10%!

Rainwater harvesting
60% of your water needs can be met by rainwater! You can use it for the toilet, washing, watering plants, etc. You collect rainwater in a cistern and use it later with a pump, anti-dirt filters and a dedicated water circuit. What are you waiting for?
Water treatment
Softer tap water will benefit the longevity of your sanitary installations and your energy consumption. With a water softener, you can prevent energy-consuming and harmful scaling of pipes and many appliances. Did you know that 1 mm of limescale increases energy consumption by 10%?
Smart home
Electronics provide a major boost: smart home solutions such as connected thermostats and connected valves allow you to heat precisely where and when you need to. The same goes for your hot water when you're on holiday: with a connected water heater, you can activate the absence mode remotely and avoid wasting energy!
