The creators of the world’s first microwave-powered boiler have said it can provide a straightforward, zero-emissions replacement for the gas boilers that heat most homes in the UK.
Heat Wayv has designed the Heat Wayv boiler which uses microwaves to produce heat rather than burning gas or oil like traditional boilers. This boiler is powered by electricity and uses the same technology as a microwave oven to heat water.
The Heat Wayv One, a smart-home IoT appliance that can be controlled anywhere using a smartphone app, is our market entrant unit. The Heat Wayv One, is equivalent to a standard combi-boiler in size and without a need for an external vent, can be fitted on any interior wall or retrofitted into any current heating system in less than a day. With whisper-quiet operation, delivering sufficient energy in an instant, the Heat Wayv One will supply plentiful hot water and heating on-demand for any home.
Heat Wayv Max would be larger as it would contain a 280 litre internal hot water tank to supply larger homes with sufficient hot water.
The company, Heat Wayv, is building prototypes and expects to trial the boilers in homes by the end of 2022, with the first sales to customers targeted for 2024.
