Do I need to have a high level of insulation?Our solutions will work with any level of insulation however a poorly insulated house will loose a lot of heat so it is important to have an efficient heating solution such as our energy saver.Some insulation measures can be quite cheap but still give high levels of benefits such as adding insulation strips around the door frames and windows. This can be done for a few pounds by yourself. The next level would be to look at your windows. Single pane windows need to be improved with a second layer but having the whole window replaced can of course be costly and intrusive, so consider secondary glazing. There are now a number of different types on the market including lift-outs, hinged unit, horizontal and vertical sliders. It is in fact the layer of air between the two panes that provide the insulation. If you already have double glazing you should be OK if they are in decent shape. Investing in triple glazing is normally not cost-effective in the UK. Adding decent loft insulation would be a decent third step. Finally cavity wall insulation should also be considered if you don't already have it. How large is the unit?There are two main parts to the Energy Saver:Outdoor unit: This unit is 54 cm (21“) high, 80 cm (31“) wide with a depth of 29 cm (11“) Indoor unit: This unit is 28 cm (11“) high, 80 cm (31“) wide with a depth of 19 cm (7.4“) The unit is also supplied with a remote control: This unit is small, about the size of an average TV remote. Where should the outdoor unit be placed?The outdoor unit must be placed in an area that has a fresh supply of air, which means you cannot put it in a garage, shed or conservatory. It should be placed where there is more than 1 metre (40“) of free space in front and above the unit. It is also a good idea to place it raised above the ground, most units are installed on brackets bolted to an outdoor wall.Where should the indoor unit be placed?The placement of the indoor unit isn't critical, but it should be placed in an open area giving the unit a good ability to circulate the air in the house.Does it need to be installed by a Corgi approved installer?No this is not necessary.Can I install it myself?The Energy Saver must be installed by a professional installer holding a valid refrigerant handling certificate following the installation instructions supplied with the unit. We will assign you a qualified installer local to your area.How many units do I need to heat up my house?Normally one outdoor and one indoor unit is sufficient for a house of a size up to approximately 130 m² (1400 square foot) for the medium unit and 170 m² (1800 square foot) for the large unit. Some properties may require two units.Comparable units from other suppliers and manufacturers that have not been optimised for indoor heating in the way the Energy Saver has are unlikely to be able to heat a whole house with one unit. Do I need to do anything different for the unit to work?The Energy Saver will work best if there is uninterrupted airflow all through the house. This means inside doors should be kept open as much as possible.Can I remove my current heating system?No, we do not recommend you remove your existing heating system. The Energy Saver should be seen as an ancillary source of heating, supplementing the existing heating system and enabling it to use substantially less energy. Further, you will of course still need your existing heating system to supply hot water.I live in a flat. Should I buy a Energy Saver?We do not recommend the unit if you live in a flat. This is because it would be awkward to place the outdoor unit in a suitable position, unless you live on the ground floor.Is the unit noisy?The Energy Saver has been optimised for quiet operation. The indoor unit's noise level is between 21 and 40 dB(A), measured one metre in front of and one metre below the unit. 21 dB (A) compares to slightly less than the noise you would hear in a theatre when nobody is talking, 40 dB (A) compares to a residential area at night.Contact: info@eheatgroup.com, 07766 714496 | ||
