Tips For Economic Use Of The System; Central Heating Only - Heatrae Sadia Electromax User Instructions

8.0 TIPS FOR ECONOMIC USE OF
THE SYSTEM
8.1 Central/ Underfloor heating
Check that the Programmable Room
Thermostat is programmed to take
advantage of any day time "Off-Peak"
electricity periods (see Table below).
Set the temperature required to a
comfortable level, over–heating and
consequent over compensation to cool the
room temperature wastes power.
Review your central heating times – don't
programme a heating period when the
property is unoccupied. The Programmable
Room Thermostat has various over-ride
functions that can be useful if the normal
programmed periods are not required.
Lower the boiler flow temperature (see
Electromax Controls section) to give
adequate heating to maintain comfort
levels.
The pace of product development is such that we reserve the right to change product
specifications without notice. We do, however, strive to ensure that all information in this
leaflet is accurate at the time of publication. Electricity tariff information is compiled from a
number of different energy suppliers and may be subject to change.

8.1.2. Central heating only

If not already provided fit Thermostatic
Radiator Valves (TRV's) to radiators in rooms
other than where the Programmable Room
Thermostat is fitted. Set an appropriate
temperature for the room use, for example
bedrooms should have a lower temperature
than living areas.
8.2 Hot water
Avoid supplying hot water to appliances
such as washing machines or dishwashers.
It is more economical to install "cold fill"
appliances and have them heat the water
used to its optimum temperature within the
appliance. Even lower running costs can be
achieved if these can be programmed to
run on "Off-Peak" times.
Avoid excessive use of the Boost element
as this will generally not be using "Off-
Peak" electricity. Be aware of when the day
time "Off-Peak" periods are as the water
heater will automatically reheat during
those times if the thermostat is calling for
heat. Check your electricity supply bill for
details of your tariff and then refer to the
Table below. A small adjustment to your
lifestyle patterns can have a big influence
on your system running costs.
