The potential energy savings of a heating
system do not end with a modern boiler in the cellar or a solar system on the roof.
Without intelligent control technology, even an efficient heating system often supplies more heat than is actually needed. Modern controls not only combine all components of the heating system but also adapt their operation to the prevailing weather conditions and the actual heat requirements in the individual rooms.

Today ’s modern heating systems use controls that are based on the outside temperature and help lower or increase the temperature in the boiler and the heating cycle depending on the temperature measured by the outside sensors. A timer allows for additional energy savings by supplying only the amount of heat actually needed during the night or times of absence. Lowering the flow temperature prevents an unnecessary loss of heat from the boiler surface and the pipe system.

Modern microprocessor-controlled controls go even one step further. They feature an integrated optimisation mechanism, which – following an initial learning phase – automatically optimises the timing of the daytime and nighttime settings to meet the set room temperatures.

A combined solar and boiler control facilitates the ideal utilisation of the solar energy collected for the heating of domestic water. Such a control unit manages the communication between the solar system, the heating boiler and the hot water storage tank. To use the morning sunlight, for instance, the control automatically switches to solar operation to ensure that the hot water storage tank is not entirely heated by the heating boiler at the end of the night cycle. The control of the solar heating of domestic water enables fuel savings of up to 10 percent.

In addition to sophisticated technology, today ’s heating control systems also offer high operating comfort. Fully electronic radio controls and LCD displays allow for the room climate to be controlled from the comfort of your living room. These devices also show when the heating system needs to be serviced or may potentially fail.
