To reduce electric bills on a Nibe FIGHTER 1220, adjust the heat and hot water settings as follows:
1. Lower Maximum Hot Water Temperature: - Use the knob (102) on the load monitor card (2) to set a lower maximum hot water temperature. - Available settings: - 50°C (A) - 55°C (B) - 65°C (C) - 70°C (D) - 75°C (E) - 80°C (F) - Lowering the temperature reduces energy consumption.
2. Adjust Heating Curve: - If room temperature is too high, lower the heating curve using the control panel. - Adjust the "Offset heating curve" or "Curve slope" to optimize efficiency.
3. Check Compressor and Immersion Heater Usage: - Ensure the compressor and immersion heater are functioning correctly to avoid unnecessary electricity use. - If the immersion heater is running too often, check settings and adjust for more efficient operation.
4. Use the Tariff Connection Feature: - If available, connect to a tariff-based power supply to use electricity during lower-cost periods.
By making these adjustments, you can optimize energy use and reduce electric bills.
