Pricing
Fuel
prices affect your heating costs dramatically. Although you can’t change
the price associated with heating fuels, you can reduce the amount that
you use.
 How Your Heating System
Works
When air temperature in your house
drops below the thermostat setting, a signal is sent for the boiler to
turn on and warm up your house. Unfortunately the thermostat only tells
your boiler to turn on when the house is too cold or turn off when the
house is too warm. There is no in-between.
How
many miles per gallon would your car get if the only method of
controlling your speed was to accelerate until you’re going too fast and
then apply the brakes? That is exactly how your present heating system
is working. The boiler heats up (car accelerating) until your house is
too warm (driving too fast) and the thermostat (brakes) turns the boiler
off.
How Your Heating System Should Work
 You adjust your
car's gas pedal to maintain a comfortable driving speed and good fuel
economy. Why not the same with your heating system? By adding a tekmar
Outdoor Reset Control, heating system water temperature is adjusted to
maintain comfort and improve system efficiency.
It’s
Not Your Heating Systems Fault!
Without a tekmar Outdoor
Reset Control, your heating system does not know if it is a cool autumn
night or the coldest winter day. Therefore it works as if it's always
the coldest day of the year and heats the water to a maximum
temperature. By adding a tekmar Outdoor Reset Control that works
alongside of your boiler and thermostat, you may see energy savings of
up to 30%.
Tekmar Outdoor Reset
Controls Provide Intelligence to Your Heating System!
With the information retrieved through an outdoor air
sensor the control can match heat output closer to the needs of your
home. The system adjusts before you even feel too cold or warm.
How Much Will I Save?
 Outdoor
reset controls are not a new concept. Most controls are installed in
commercial applications such as office buildings, apartment houses and
churches. tekmar has now made their commercial controls available at
affordable prices to the homeowner.
Savings will vary depending
on many factors, but a recent energy study performed by the Environment
and Energy Resource Center in St. Paul Minnesota showed that outdoor
reset controls saved an average of 14%. Typical payback is under three
years.
