TIPS ON ENERGY SAVING
HEATING ECONOMICALLY
The boiler provides a high level of comfort whilst keeping gas
consumption and the environment effects as low as possible.
The gas supply to the burner is controlled according to the level
of demand for heat. The boiler operates with a low flame if the
demand for heat reduces. The technical term for this process is
modulating control.
Modulating control reduces temperature fluctuations and
provides an even distribution of heat throughout the home. This
means that the boiler may stay on for relatively long periods of
time but will use less gas than a boiler that continually switches
on and off.
CENTRAL HEATING SYSTEMS WITH ROOM THERMOSTAT/
THERMOSTATIC RADIATOR VALVES
With modern heating systems set around a 20°C heat loss, the
optimum setting for a condensing boiler will be approximately
between one and two on the central heating temperature control.
The system must be balanced correctly and the radiators may
need upgrading. This allows the boiler to condense as much as
possible for the central heating system.
The temperature of each room can be set individually (except
primary room with the room thermostat) using the thermostatic
radiator valves.
ROOM THERMOSTATS
Reducing the setting of the room thermostat by 1°C can reduce
fuel consumption by up to 10%.
NEW CONTROL SYSTEMS
Upgrade your heating control system if necessary with the latest
equipment available.
