Existing systems: What are the benefits?

Ensuring efficient use of your current heating equipment will result in considerable energy and economic savings with no loss of comfort or convenience. The advantages of the different devices are detailed below.

Regulation of heating systems

Control and regulation using chronothermostat and thermostatic valves, ensure that heating and cooling devices only operate when needed, improving comfort and obtaining energy savings typically around 20%. Advanced control devices can be added to an existing heating installation relatively cheaply and will usually pay for themselves in a short time.

Insulation systems

Correct insulation leads to considerably reduced energy loss resulting in energy and economy savings with low paybacks.

As an example, the insulation of a 40m pipe section placed out in the open (diameter: 21mm) with a chill-mold (thickness: 30mm), costs €152. The annual savings are €190. (Links to Tools section-calculation of savings obtained with a correct pipe insulation).
