The current wave of inflation has prompted “Energie Tirol” to join forces with other energy agencies in Austria to find ways to save energy that have received little attention until now. You found what you were looking for exactly where you least expected it: with heating in the summer!
About a third of the stoves randomly surveyed turn, even if it’s 30 degrees or more during the day. The reason for this: From a certain outside temperature, approximately when the thermometer falls below 15 degrees, the heating is activated via the so-called outside temperature sensor. In autumn and winter, this feature ensures comfort and efficiency.
“However, what has not been considered so far is that even clear summer nights are cool in Tyrol. Temperatures can quickly drop below 15 degrees and then the heating does what it is programmed to do,” explains Bruno Oberhuber, Director of Energy Tyrol. .
problem easy to solve
It can therefore be assumed that in Tyrol, for example, countless heating systems are put into operation every day. Oil and gas are literally burned. The good news is that the problem is easy to fix. Namely by actively turning off the heating in April or May. “One push of a button means 100 percent savings with zero loss of comfort,” emphasizes Oberhuber.
By the way: a specialist should check the heating regularly. That also brings efficiency.
