2 What you should know about your heating system
Why should you become more familiar with your
heating system?
Modern heating systems offer many functions for saving
energy without sacrificing comfort. Getting to know this
heating technology may appear daunting at first, but
after a short while you will recognise the advantages you
can gain from a heating system that is set up to meet
your personal requirements. The more you are aware of
the options offered by your heating system, the greater
the benefit you will be able to draw from it.
How does your heating system work?
Your heating system comprises the boiler with burner,
heating control unit, pipework and radiators. A DHW
cylinder or an instantaneous water heater heats the
water required for a shower, bath or washing your
hands. Subject to the way your heating system has been
installed, it can operate either purely as a central heating
system or together with a DHW cylinder. The important
thing is that the various components match each other.
The burner combusts fuel (e.g. gas or oil) and heats the
water inside the boiler. Using pumps, this hot water is
transported through the pipework to the consumers
(radiators, underfloor heating system, etc).
