I'm a master in the plumbing and heating plant and have been working as a customer service agent for 4 years. I love my profession and sometimes I work with it in my spare time, for example when I'm here and give advice. I try to break down my knowledge to a minimum to make it understandable for everyone.

We also have no less to do in the energy crisis. I am also here to explain how to heat effectively, efficiently and sparingly without freezing.

How do I save energy costs?

• Knowledge of the function of a thermostat valve on the radiator


• Knowledge about the right ventilation


• Knowledge of the heat properties of a house

Outside walls should never cool. Avoid ventilators and ventilators, several times a day. Heaters never set under setting 1. Allow heating to run at night. The reheating of a cooled outer wall uses a multiple of energy in contrast to constant heating.

Can I set my hot water storage temperature to 45 degrees? That's all I need!

• No, please don't. At temperatures below 50 degrees, legionella is uncanny to feel and can quickly become a health risk.


• Better (in the detached house) 55 degrees


• Must (building with apartment(s)) 60 degree

How to adjust radiators?

• residential area, bathroom, children's centre, office: approx. 3


• Bedroom, hallway, kitchen: approx. 2


• Unused spaces: min. 1

I have an operation in the living room. What's that doing?

The space device, which is usually placed on the wall in the living room, has the task of switching on and off the heating operation (heating body/floor heating).

In the room appliance there is a temperature sensor, it works like a thermostat. It feels the room temperature and compares with the adjusted room temperature and switches on and off the heating operation on the basis of this.

At 18 degrees actual room temperature:

• 20 degree set: heating mode


• 16 degree set: heating
