Saving Money with the Gledhill ElectraMate 2000

LONDON - Sept. 16, 2016 - PRLog -- When it comes to water heaters, the Gledhill ElectraMate 2000 was one of the most popular multi-function models to be installed in apartments in the UK at the beginning of the century. It combines the functionality of both a hot water heater and a wet central heating system, and utilises an off-peak electrical supply for both functions. However, the original manufacturer. EasyFlow has years of experience with the ElectraMate 2000 and is very familiar with all types of repair on this boiler system.

How to Save Money with an ElectraMate 2000

The ElectraMate 2000 was designed to assist homeowners and apartment renters in saving money by utilising off-peak electricity while providing instant mains pressure hot water and thermostatically controlled space heating. In addition, there are two other ways to help reduce your electricity bill.

Inside the boiler cover, you will find a blending valve. It mixes hot water from the boiler's store with cold water from the mains. At full power, the water in the store is maintained at 83 degrees centigrade. The blending valve reduces the temperature to 50 – 60 degrees. If you adjust it to the higher end, you can turn on both the hot and cold taps to reach the desired temperature (using only the hot tap provides water that is too hot). Because you are paying for electricity to heat the water, and then mixing it with cold, you're actually wasting energy (and, thus, money). Turning the blending valve down slightly allows you to ensure that less cold water is needed while saving money on your electricity bill.

A second method of saving money with the ElectraMate 2000 boiler is to use the summer/winter switch on the front of the unit. These settings control the operation of the boiler. By setting it to winter, the PCB works to maintain the highest water temperature possible (83 degrees). This is necessary during the winter months to ensure a constant supply of hot water. However, this is unnecessary during the summer months. Turning the switch to the summer setting, the PCB maintains the store temperature at 15 degrees lower than maximum. This saves you money, while also reducing the boiler cupboard and hallway ambient temperature, which can be a very good thing during the height of summer.
