Chalmor's Controls for Storage Water Heaters can Save YOU Energy!
Often found in school staff rooms and workplace kitchens, ‘Tea Boilers’ or Storage Water Heaters, are wall-mounted containers that keep water continuously hot to ensure it is always ready to use. They are extremely convenient products however can use up huge amounts of energy if they are left on all the time. To save energy and money on these tea boilers, it is encouraged that you increase your control over the product. Here at Chalmor, we can help, with our Tea Boiler control ‘Move Master.’
Move Master is a retrofit product which we can install which schedules your water heater to come on and turn off on a needs basis, dramatically reducing the amount of energy used. Currently, we have undertaken a few projects using the Move Master, and the results have been extremely positive.
We carried out a monitoring exercise, and the data obtained from the logger installed at a trial site can be seen in the information below... the table summarises the consumption in kWH for each week:
