What you need to know about Underfloor Heating and Under Tile Heating Systems
When There are several methods which help you save electricity and money. Reducing the usage of high consumption appliances is the best way to do so. Geysers are the number one consumer of electricity in any household, they are responsible for 60% of your total electricity bill. Geysers are the main appliances to concentrate on when trying to make any substantial savings.
Eskom requests that home owners switch off their geysers during peak demand hours, or when not in use. Switching off a geyser at the DB panel manually is not good practice as these circuit breakers are not designed for high use as with a normal light switch. They are meant to be used only when work is carried out on the panel. These circuit breakers will eventually wear out and break, leaving you with cold water and a huge repair bill – moving you back to square one.
By installing a geyser timer in your existing DB panel, you will see immediate savings on your monthly bill and a full return on investment within a few months. This also relieves you from getting up in early morning to switch the geyser on and it’s one less thing to worry about.
