It is possible to save up to 20% by using combi boilers, which have become an inseparable part of our daily lives, efficiently in summer and winter. However, this requires being a conscious consumer.
Termo Teknik Türkiye Sales Manager Cem Bayramoğlu shared what needs to be done for efficient use of combi boilers in summer and winter.
It is possible to save up to 20 percent on natural gas bills by using combi boilers, which are widely used in homes and workplaces, efficiently.
Termo Teknik Türkiye Sales Manager Cem Bayramoğlu made statements that draw attention to the things that need to be done for efficient use of combi boilers in summer and winter and the savings that will be achieved:
“In order to use combi boilers, which have become an inseparable part of our daily lives, efficiently and to extend their life, it is necessary to have them maintained at the beginning of summer and winter. Because the incorrect use of combi boilers in summer and winter months plays an important role in natural gas and electricity consumption.
Boiler maintenance should be done as we enter summer.
The general opinion in society is that 'combi boiler maintenance is done when entering winter', however, it is also necessary to have combi boiler maintenance done when entering summer. Especially when entering summer, cleaning the filter and chimney is of critical importance in terms of ensuring efficiency and safety conditions.
Combi boilers should be set to summer setting in summer
In addition, setting the combi boilers to summer settings, that is, adjusting the hot water temperature, is among the precautions to be taken as summer approaches. Maintenance also provides the opportunity for early intervention in case of a possible malfunction that may occur in the future.
The boiler should also be checked before entering the winter.
Similarly, before entering the winter, the combi boiler should be maintained and the proper functioning of the combi boiler should be checked. However, for efficient combi boiler use, maintenance alone is not enough, and some precautions should be taken to reduce energy consumption while using the combi boiler.
The boiler should not be turned off, it should be operated in low mode.
For example, it is a common misconception that consumers who leave their homes for a short time in the winter turn off their combi boilers to save money. Because turning off the combi boiler causes heat loss in living spaces. When the combi boiler is turned on again, it burns more gas than it has used during the day to reach the desired temperature. Therefore, instead of turning it off, it is necessary to operate the combi boiler in low mode.
Room thermostat should be used
We recommend using a room thermostat to ensure that the combi boiler operates in low mode and at the desired temperature. Let's not forget that every 1 degree lower room temperature provides savings of up to 7 percent.
Radiators should not be covered or covered.
In addition, in order to provide economical heating, it is necessary not to dry laundry on radiators and not to block the radiator with curtains and armchairs. Otherwise, the heat will not be distributed evenly throughout the room and this will cause increased fuel consumption.
"When all these precautions are taken, it becomes possible to use combi boilers both safer and up to 20 percent more economically," he said.
