How you can save energy
The room temperatures and the operating periods of the
heating system have a significant influence on fuel con
-
sumption.
Lowering room temperature by 1°C will result in a fuel
saving of up to 6%. For this reason, bear in mind the fol-
lowing tips:
•
It pays to turn off the radiators in unused rooms, as long
as there is no risk of frost and no moisture damage to
the building structure or furniture is to be expected.
•
Set the switch on your heating regulator to “Summer”
as soon as the daily average outside temperature ex-
ceeds 12°C.
•
In the main living areas, additional heat is often gen-
erated by people, televisions, fire places, tiled stoves
and also direct sunlight. These cannot be compensated
for by a weather-dependent regulator. It may be worth
installing thermostatic radiator valves in these rooms (if
not already fitted).
Draughts in the home are not only unpleasant, but also
indicate that heating energy is being lost.
You can save fuel if you ...
•
Keep the doors and windows closed in winter.
•
Operate kitchen and bathroom ventilation fans only
when vapours and smells need to be extracted.
• Ventilate only briefly, but thoroughly.
•
Seal doors and windows to prevent constant leakage
losses.
Insulation will help retain precious heat.
Take advantage of these possibilities and...
•
Close the window and door shutters at night.
•
Draw the curtains in the evening.
•
Make sure that heating and hot water pipes are insu-
lated in unheated rooms.
Keeping the temperature of the radiators as low as possi-
ble will prevent unnecessary heat losses. For this reason,
it is important to ensure that the radiator can release its
heat into the room without any obstructions. You should
therefore avoid:
•
Covered radiators
•
Floor-length curtains in front of radiators
•
Windowsills covered with objects that prevent any air
ingress.
Savings are also possible for water heating.
•
Set the domestic hot water temperature as low as pos-
sible. Find out at what temperature there is still suffi
-
cient hot water available.
•
If you have installed a hot water circulation pump, it is
worth switching it off during the night with a timer.
10. Instructions concerning proper dis-
posal of individual system compo-
nents
The individual components (particularly boiler body, re-
fractory bricks, casing panels, insulation mats and elec-
tric control) must be disposed of separately.
