...heater that offers you only a 1 to 1 ratio. The Voltex waterheater from AO Smith is an air-to-waterheatpumpwhich extractsheatfrom the air to generate hot water, so in the winter that 3 to 1heating ratio of the firstheatpumpis transferred to the waterheater. And the more 'free'heatyou have in winter (sola...
