2 What you should know about your heating system
Why should you become more familiar with your
heating system?
Modern heating systems offer you 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 cylinder
holds the domestic hot water (DHW) or an
instantaneous water heater heats the water required for
shower, bath or hand washing. 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. What is important, is that the various
components match each other. The burner consumes
fuel (e.g. gas or oil) and heats the water inside the boiler.
Using pumps, this hot water is transported through the
domestic pipework to the consumers (radiators,
underfloor heating system, etc.).
