Stand-by losses

Stand-by losses occur when energy slips away unnoticed, even though your heating system isn’t actively working. In heating systems, this happens as heat escapes from the hot water stored in tanks. It sneaks out through cylinder walls, influenced by the quality of the insulation. The better the insulation, the lower the losses. These stand-by losses, measured in BTUs per hour, can add up over time. That’s why reducing them makes such a difference.

With improved insulation, energy-efficient systems, or smart controls, you can minimise heat loss, maximise energy efficiency, and cut down on costs. A win for your wallet and the planet.
