3 Tips on energy-efficient heating
Here are a few tips on how to heat economically, without
sacrificing convenience:
z Only heat if you need warmth. Utilise the preset
heating programs (standard programs) or those that
have been tailored to your individual requirements.
z Air rooms correctly during the heating season:
Open
windows three to four times a day for approx.
5
minutes. Having the window slightly open all the
time does not provide an air change and wastes
valuable energy.
z Close the thermostatic valves whilst ventilating.
z Windows and doors are places where a lot of heat
is
lost. Therefore, check whether the doors and
windows are correctly sealed. Shut your roller
shutters (if installed) at night.
z Never position large objects such as a sofa or a desk
immediately in front of radiators (maintain a
clearance of at least 50 cm). Otherwise, the heated
air cannot circulate and heat the room adequately.
z In rooms you occupy during the day, you can, for
example, set a room temperature of 21
°C, whilst
17
°C may be sufficient at night. To achieve this,
use
the standard heating mode (day mode) and
the
setback mode (night mode) (Æ Chapter 6).
z Never overheat rooms; overheated rooms are
unhealthy, plus they waste money and energy.
If
you reduce the day room temperature, for example
from 21
°C to 20 °C, you will save approx. six percent
of your heating bill.
z Also heat in an energy-conscious manner in spring
and autumn, and utilise the summer/wintertime
changeover (Æ
Chapter 7).
z A pleasant ambience not only depends on the room
temperature, but also on the relative humidity.
The
drier the air, the cooler a room feels. You can
optimise the relative humidity with house plants.
z You can also save money when heating DHW:
Only
operate the DHW circulation pump via a time
switch. Research has shown that it is generally
sufficient if the DHW circulation pump is started
every 30 minutes for three minutes.
z Arrange for your installer to service your heating
system annually.
