Saving Energy
... with a modern heating system
By purchasing a “modern” heating
system, you have taken a decisive
step towards saving energy.
Viessmann boilers operate optimally
to ensure minimum fuel consumption
for maximum heating value -
efficient, environmentally friendly
and comfortable.
Your new heating system provides
the following alternatives to save
energy:
- a well insulated hot water heating
boiler and domestic hot water tank
- clean combustion and high energy
extraction
...with proper heating Additional energy can be saved by
considering the following measures
in addition to the above technical
improvements:
- proper ventilation: briefly open
the windows 1 while turning off
thermostats or radiator valves 2
- avoid excess space heating; strive
for a room temperature of 68º F
(20º C) since every 2º F (1º C) of
lower room temperature can save
up to 5% in heating costs.
- proper control settings 5.
- properly set the temperature for
the DHW tank 4
- set thermostatic zone valves
properly 2
- do not block heat transfer
surfaces or thermostatic zone
valves 3
- control use of warm water:
a shower generally requires less
water than a bath
- close window shutters
(if applicable) during night time
hours.
...with regular servicing Regular servicing of your heating
system 6 by a qualified heating
contractor ensures energy-efficient
and environmentally friendly
operation.
...with good insulation If still searching for additional
possibilities to save energy,
review the insulation installed
- on the heating system pipes and
DHW supply pipes,
- on the outside walls and on the
roof 7
- between heated (shaded grey)
and unheated (white fill) rooms 8
- around windows 9.
WARNING
Ensure properly sized fresh combustion
air supply to all fuel burning appliances,
including the hot water heating boiler.
Tightly insulated homes require a duct
or opening in the boiler room to allow
outside air in for combustion. Refer to
codes and instructions.
