Energy savings tips
Energy savings tips
Weather-compensated heating
control
The THISION S PLUS is delivered
with a modern, energy-saving heating
control. Depending on the outdoor
temperature, namely weather-
compensated, it generates the optimal
lead temperature for heating the
building. The characteristic heating
curve must be adapted for this on your
heating system, and to the heating
requirements of your building. These
settings will be carried out during the
commissioning of your heating system,
either by your heating engineer or by
ELCO Customer Service.
Cost-effective heating
To continually heat the rooms of a
building to a comfort level is usually a
waste. With the help of the thermostats
on your radiators, you can set the
temperature that is required for your
comfort in each room.
20 to 21°C will usually be enough
for the living, working and children’s
rooms. 15°C will usually be enough in
unused rooms.
Reset mode
By means of timing programs that can
be set in advance, it is possible to
reduce the room temperature during
night hours or in case of absence.
Energy consultants recommend that
the temperature is not reduced below
4°C. By closing the shutters during the
night, it is also possible to save up to
15% energy.
Correct aeration of living rooms
A short shock ventilation is more
effective and saves more energy than
leaving tilt windows open for longer
periods. It is therefore recommended to
carry out a five-minute shock ventilation
several times per day. The advantage
is: Due to the short aeration, the heat in
the walls and the floors is not lost.
Domestic hot water temperature
Preset a suitable domestic hot water
(DHW) temperature, which meets
your requirements. Temperatures in
excess of 55°C are usually not sensible
and lead to an increased energy
consumption. Furthermore, water
temperatures in excess of 60°C lead to
an increased lime precipitation.
With the help of the timing programs
available with THISION S PLUS, you
can furthermore adapt warm water
heating to times when you are absent.
DHW circulation
A possibly available circulation pump
for DHW should be operated on an
as-needed basis. Circulating DHW,
which is not used, is cooled on its
way through the piping. That means
that the DHW tanks must be heated
additionally. With the help of an
upstream timer switch, it is possible to
optimize the DHW circulation to your
needs.
Inspection and maintenance
A regular inspection of the heating
equipment, both by your chimney
sweep and the customer service of
your dealer, ensures a long-term,
energy-optimized and reliable operation
of the facility. This is the reason why we
also recommend that you conclude a
maintenance contract, which includes
an annual inspection and a need-
oriented maintenance of your heating
facility.
