Heating can account for up to 84% of a household’s total energy consumption. Much of this energy may be lost if your home’s heating system is poorly controlled. Heating controls have become more advanced in the last decade. At Upgrade Heating Controls Dublin, we offer a range of solutions to help you better manage heat throughout your home and save money on your energy bills.
According to the National Energy Authority of Ireland (SEAI), homeowners can reduce their energy usage by up to 20% by fitting and using heating controls in their homes efficiently.
At Upgrade Heating Controls Dublin, heating regulators attempt to adapt your energy needs to your living and working habits. In other words, provide heated rooms when you are present or make sure hot water is only available when needed. Your heating system should be divided into at least two independently controllable “zones”.
These are your “space heating zone” and your “hot water zone”.
This allows you to heat hot tap water without turning on the heating, guaranteeing immediate savings. Additional areas can also be added to separate living spaces from bedrooms. An example of this is dividing the upper and lower rooms into two separate areas. Be sure to heat the downstairs living room only during the day and not the upper floor rooms which only need to be heated at night.
Smart heating controls attempt to adapt your energy needs to your living and working habits. In other words, keep rooms in the house heated and make sure hot water is only available when needed.
Make sure your heating system has at least two separate controllable “zones”.
Please remember this information: “These areas are for heating and providing hot water.”
This allows hot water to be heated without turning on the heating, which represents immediate savings.
At Upgrade Heating Controls Dublin, you can also add more areas to separate living spaces from bedrooms. An example of this is dividing the upper and lower floors into two separate zones, so that the downstairs living room is only heated during the day and not the upper floor rooms, which only need to be heated the night.
Save Money: Modern heating controls are more efficient and precise than older ones.
Because you have complete control over when and how your heating turns on and off, you never burn gas or oil unnecessarily.
It is estimated that up to 20% can be saved on your heating bills if you opt for a modern appliance. This will quickly pay for itself.
Help the environment: Not only are you saving your bank account by reducing your oil and gas consumption, but you can also help protect the environment.
These 20% cost savings also mean 20% fewer carbon dioxide emissions, one of the main greenhouse gases responsible for global warming.
You also limit your nitrogen oxide emissions, which can have a positive impact on the health of your population and your communities. In short: more efficient heating regulation has no disadvantages.
Multi-zone heating available: Did you know that modern heating controls can divide your home into independently controllable zones?
Most people use this function to separate top and bottom heat.
Without lifting a finger, you can leave the upstairs radiators off all day and turn them on a few hours before bed to keep you warm while you sleep.
And similarly, you can leave the heat downstairs alone for an hour before the alarm wakes you up. Experience a new, more efficient and convenient level for you and your family.
Control radiators and hot water separately: A new heat controller also offers more flexibility and efficiency in how it heats water.
With a modern system you can heat the water, just the radiators or both. This is particularly useful in summer when you still need hot water but may not want to leave the radiators on for months.
Simply calculate your controls in seconds and it will only heat water for the things you actually use.
Control it from your phone: With modern heating controls, flexibility doesn’t stop at the front door. Many systems allow you to control your heating from your phone, tablet or computer.
This is particularly useful if you have irregular working hours or have guests over: you can turn on the heating on the train home whenever you want and turn it off if you are away longer than expected.
Of course, this also means you can turn the heating on or off from the comfort of your own home.
