Information for energy efficient operation
Saving energy with modern heating technology: gas condensing
technology saves your cash
In conventional heating systems energy is expelled unused to the
atmosphere along with the flue gas. Modern condensing technology
utilises that energy for heating.
Use as little electrical energy as possible
Operate your system with multi stage heating pumps at the lowest
required level.
Regular heating system maintenance pays for itself
A contaminated burner or poorly adjusted appliance can reduce the
heating system efficiency. Regular heating system maintenance through
your local contractor quickly pays for itself.
Heating at the lowest energy level
Operate your heating system, where possible, with a flow temperature
of less than 60 °C or a flat heating curve.
A heating system control unit also regulates your heating costs
A heating system in standby mode saves energy. With automatic night
setback and thermostatic valves, a modern weather-compensated or
room temperature-dependent heating system control unit ensures that
the system only operates when heat is required, saving you money the
rest of the time.
- Equip your heating system with a weather-compensated heating
controller from the Wolf range of accessories. Your heating contractor
will be happy to advise you how to achieve optimum settings.
- In conjunction with the Wolf control unit accessory, use the night
setback function to match the energy level to the actual demand
period.
- Use the optional summer mode setting.
Never overheat your system
Adjust the room temperature as accurately as possible. This leaves
occupants comfortable and energy is not wasted on providing
heating output that nobody needs. You can differentiate between the
optimum temperatures for individual rooms, such as living rooms and
bedrooms.
A room temperature that is one degree higher than necessary represents
an additional energy consumption of approx. 6%.
- Use room thermostats to match the room temperature to the actual
use of the room.
- In any room where you have installed a room temperature sensor,
open the thermostatic valve fully. This enables you to achieve optimum
control characteristics for your heating system.
Ensure adequate air circulation
Air must be able to circulate freely near the radiators and the room
temperature sensors, otherwise the heating system will lose work less
effectively. Badly positioned long curtains or furniture "swallow" up to
20% of your heat.
