Duet II | User manual
WHAT DOES IT MEAN?
See what you’re using
Your Duet II display makes your
electricity and gas consumption
visible, taking the guesswork out of
understanding how much your home
uses - both right now and historically.
The display is neatly divided in two -
the upper screen shows the current
rate of usage of electricity and gas (if
installed) - the lower screen provides
an insight in to performance against a
set budget and shows when and how
much has been used in the past.
It’s about now ...
In the same way your car shows how
fast your car is travelling, the two
gauges in the upper screen show how
much your home is consuming now.
The top gauge - or speedometer - is
for the rate of electricity and the
bottom gauge is for gas.
To make it even easier to understand
the hourly rates of consumption, the
top and bottom sets of numbers can
show the rate of consumption in cost
(£/€) and energy or power (kW).
For example, if the display says £0.15
for the rate of electricity consumption,
then this means that if the rate stayed
the same it would cost 15p for the
next hour.
The electricity speedometer is
updated every few seconds and the
gas speedometer every 30 minutes.
Less is more
The lower the hourly rate of
consumption, the less it will cost and
the more you can save.
It is typical of a medium sized house to
use around 250Wh or 4p per hour of
electricity - so see how low you can get
the speedometer.
If, when you have your lights o, your
house is using more than this rate,
have a look around the home and see
if any appliances can be turned o.
The gas speedometer should drop to
zero when your boiler and cooker are
not in use.
