HOW TO RUN YOUR ELEKTRA SMART ELECTRIC COMBI BOILER EFFICIENTLY
SMART ELECTRIC BOILERS
There ’ s this common
misperception that turning your boiler ON for a small amount of time will help you save on your bills . While this might be true for wellinsulated houses where the heat-loss management is good and the warmth can be contained for long periods of time , it is not the same for houses with poor insulation , and this is why :
The heating system is a closed loop . When the heating is OFF the temperature of the water in the system will go down to the temp of its surroundings . When the heating is turned ON , this cold water from the central heating system will go back to the boiler . The boiler will turn on all
the heating elements in the main tank using full power to increase the temperature of the heating system to reach , first the boiler ’ s heating set point and then your room thermostat set temperature .
Having a programmable room thermostat is a must to help in reducing the boiler ’ s energy demand . The best way to program the central heating timer is to set the room temperature to 15-17C when the heating is not needed and to 20-22C when the heating is needed and to review the insulation and heat-loss management in the property .
