Not a day goes by when you do not need hot water for washing and cleaning. We have several options on how we warm up. According to a survey of energy efficiency Slovenia - REUS 2009 in Slovenia, more than half of households hot water heated by an electric heater, water heater.
Electricity represents a major cost to the family budget. If we opt for this kind of method of heating hot water, we need to regularly remove limescale. Because when neglected, we have needlessly unpleasant consequences. Matjaz Filo Gorenje explains that the limescale in the largely present in our drinking water (sometimes more, less elsewhere), when heated water is excluded from it. The higher the temperature of the water, the faster and more are eliminated. The more it is, the more overstretch the operation of all the components in the water heater (heater, steering).
Among the consequences rational of the loaded limescale thus traced: reduced heating rate as heat is initially accumulates in the stacked stone water, improper operation rational of control (too fast on and off Thermoregulators), decreased volume of hot water in a boiler shutdown due to failure of the thermal fuse, and a failure to function due to clogging of drain pipes.
If you want to use the electric heater long, Filo advised to choose the appropriate water heater - already on the market, there are those who promise a less loaded limescale or is easier to remove - no hot water temperature is set too high (say up to 60 C) and regularly descale, usually in two to three years.
As already rational mentioned, heating with an electric heater quite expensive, so do not be superfluous to know some of the austerity measures. One of them is that mandatory izklapljamo electric heater having a long absence. This is to save all of the heat loss of the heater, which we will needlessly rational waiting for a full hot water. According to Fila makes sense to prepare rational water when you need it. "The water is heated up standing and waiting in the boiler heater, it is a cost, since it causes heat loss. Manually switching off and switching on a daily basis is probably no one will be decided. Better suited the automatic time control the operation of the heater according to consumption over time and also Depending on the electric tariff. " rational OTHER SOURCES OF HEATING
Hot water can be heated in other ways. Jože Hertiš from SELTRON explains that the heating rational source may have oil or gas, which are slightly cheaper, especially in winter, but completely uneconomical summer. The same is true for the biomass, which is very favorable during rational the heating season and much less suitable for consumption by heating hot water in the summer. Hot water can be heated even with a heat pump that uses electricity and up to 75 percent of energy from the ambient air. Heating affordable with restrictions - water can be heated only to about 55 degrees Celsius and as long as the ambient air is warm enough, at least 10 degrees Celsius.
"The cheapest heating with solar energy. Classic can be used or vacuum collectors., However, is also here present limitations, power is not always available when we need it, especially not gain enough in winter. Conclusion, it is cost-effective water heating, when used for primary power source heat pump or solar panels and additional rational resource that can be electricity or heat from the central heating system. " ALTERNATIVE METHOD IN COMBINATION WITH CLASSICAL
How do we warm up a few years ago and what we can expect Hertiš explains that, firstly, the priorities change over time and depend on energy prices and expected trends, and general economic conditions. A few years ago, when we could afford a bit more long-term investments, was the increase in the use of solar panels. What followed was a period when increased use of heat pumps.
After his conviction rational can be expected to be resumed growth rational in the use of solar heating and heat pumps in combination with one of the traditional sources of energy, as a rule those used for space heating. "So we can expect the use of more efficient techniques for water heating. Such an example is a heat pump with a separate outdoor unit, which works to simultaneously use for cooling and hot water., This will consume only one additional quantity elekt
