Information for
energy-efficient operation
Saving energy with modern heating technology: Gas fired condensing technology
saves your cash
Modern condensing technology utilises that energy for heating, which in conventional
heating systems is expelled unused to the atmosphere with the flue gas.
Use as little electrical energy as possible
Operate your system with multi-stage heating pumps at the smallest possible stage.
Modulating pumps generally do not require adjustments, since they are automatically
matched to the prevailing demand.
Regular heating system maintenance pays for itself
A contaminated burner or poorly adjusted boiler can reduce the heating system effici-
ency. 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 return temperature of less than 45
°C, to achieve the highest possible utilisation of condensing technology.
A heating system control unit also regulates your heating costs
A heating system in standby mode saves energy. A modern, weather-compensated or
room temperature dependent heating system control unit ensures - with automatic night
setback and thermostatic valves - that the system only operates when heat is required,
saving money for 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 about
optimum adjustments.
- In conjunction with the Wolf control accessories, use the night setback function to
match the energy level to the actual demand period.
- Use the optional summer mode adjustment.
Never overheat your home.
Adjust the room temperature as accurately as possible. This leaves occupants comfor-
table and energy is not wasted on providing a heating output, which is not required by
anyone. Differentiate between the optimum temperature for different rooms, such as
living rooms and bedrooms.
Room temperature which 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 the room where you have installed a room temperature sensor, open the thermo-
static valve fully. This enables you to achieve optimum control characteristics for your
heating system.
Ensure adequate air circulation.
Air must be able to freely circulate near the radiators and the room temperature sensors,
otherwise the heating system will lose effectiveness. Long curtains or badly positioned
furniture can „swallow" up to 20 % energy.
