Save
Energy and Improve the Comfort of Your Hot-Water Heated Home
If
your home is heated with hot-water radiators, then you have
either:
A)
Uneven Heating of the Radiators - some are too hot,
some cold.
The
Smoother dramatically improves heat distribution
through your home, reducing or eliminating the need for
space heaters, opened windows, and cranked thermostats.
or
B) Even Heating - Your boiler's circulating pump
is running continuously, wasting an enormous amount of electricity.
A standard 2-amp circulator pump running continuously uses
over 2000 kWh per year of electricity, as
much as FOUR full-sized refrigerators!
The
Smoother cuts your pump electricity use by approximately
75%, while maintaining the same comfortable even heating.
Pump noise and wear are also reduced.
Other
Features:
- Soft
Start - reduces the noise and stress when the pump
starts up.
- Pump
Exerciser - runs the pump for 2 minutes every day
during the summer. This extends the life of the pump and
helps to prevent pump seizure, reduces maintenance.
- The
Smoother is Inexpensive with a two-year payback on average.
Did
You Know?
Installing a Smoother is like unplugging three refrigerators
without sacrificing your heating comfort. You get the same
even heating as you would have if your pump was set to continuous
circulation and you also get the peace of mind of knowing
that you are conserving energy and saving money.
Energy
Savings Explained
Historically
the only way to achieve even heat distribution to all radiators
was to run the circulator pump continuously. With the Smoother,
the circulator pump runs approximately 75% less, resulting
in big electricity savings.
Financially
these electricity savings translate into up to $165 per year
or $3,300 over a 20-year boiler life. This calculation is
based on a standard 2 amp pump at 2005 Ontario total electricity
rates. The savings will be more for larger pumps and as the
cost of electricity increases.
IT'S
REALLY SIMPLE
