An automatic heating substation regulates the temperature of a building according to the outside temperature and other parameters. By modernizing the heating substation, you heat the building more economically. Read more to find out why you should replace a non-automated heating substation with an automatic one, and how to do that.
A heating substation is a device that connects the consumer to the heating network, and where heat is transferred from the network to the building.
Replacing an old heating substation with an automatic control heating substation makes the service cheaper, more convenient, and more environmentally friendly.
Why replace an old heating substation with an automatically controlled substation?
- An automatic heating substation regulates the temperature of the building according to the outside temperature and other parameters.
- It can automatically increase or decrease the heating regime according to the needs of residents.
- Overheating is common in spring and autumn and can be avoided with a new heating substation.
- It is also possible to use a “night mode” (lower temperature).
- The parameters of ventilation heat carriers, domestic hot water, and other consumption systems can be adjusted economically.
- It reduces the risk of corrosion of the building’s heating pipes and heaters.
- It keeps the temperature of domestic water constant.
- The devices are compact and silent.
- They make it possible to balance the heating system at any time to distribute the heat evenly in the building.
- The investment will pay for itself in a short time.
The heating substation can be changed all year round, but it is recommended that you wait until the outside temperature is no lower than -5 °C or below.
