Red Planet Hotel, : Rheem Thermatrac Heat Pumps improve efficiency and brings down hot water heating costs

Red Planet Hotels are known for their unbeatable value, exceptional service, and excellent locations. Red Planet Hotels can be seen from to Aseana City and Bay, and even as far as Angeles City, , Cebu and Davao.

Known for their uncompromising quality of service, Red Planet only invests in the best quality and most cost-effective hot water to their guests. At the start, Red Planet Hotel in Quezon City, provided their guests with 24/7 hot water on demand via two (2) units of 30Kw hot water storage heaters. While the water heaters were effective, they were quite taxing on their electrical consumption. Hotel management initiated a directive to save costs and tasked Jake Anthony Medalla, Red Planet Hotel Maintenance Supervisor, to look for a better and more efficient solution.

“Our Management noticed that our electric bill was really high and looked for other means of saving on electricity…”

Bestank and the Rheem Heating Solution

This was when Jake and his team met up with Bestank to come up with a more viable and sustainable solution while still providing the same consistent and reliable hot water amenity that Red Planet Hotels are known for.

Rheem Heat Pumps are commercial grade heat pumps specifically designed with efficiency in mind. For this installation, the 30kw hot water storage heaters were replaced with 6Kw heat pumps, thus generating up to 5000 Btus of heated water at a fraction of the cost of their old system.

Rheem Air Source Heat Pumps gather ambient air and transfers the heat from the air into the water. Taking efficiency to the next level, Air Source Heat Pumps exhaust cold air in the process, and can be ducted back into the establishment as an additional source of intermittent air cooling.

With 80% decrease in electrical consumption and 5 COP rating, the Rheem Heat Pumps drove down Red Planet’s heating costs.

“They (Bestank) installed their (Rheem) Air Source Heat Pumps and we were amazed that we’re able to save around P150,000.00, pesos off from our monthly electric bill!”
