Cheap Thermostat Can Cost You Thousands

A defective thermostat in your boiler can cause severe damage in your home.

The job of the thermostat is to shut off the system at a preset temperature to prevent overheating. This saves in electrical costs (uneccesary heating) and prevents joints from leaking or bursting from overheating.

We have clients that experienced flooding as a result of forgetting to shut off the boiler.

We recommend always using a timer (have an electrician install one if you don't have one).

We also recommend installing a quality thermostat that is less likely to fail (the blue thermostat in the picture).

Lastly, a thermostatic mixing valve installed on the boiler will ensure that no water above 50C will enter the home, ensuring that no pipes will burst due to overheating.

Are Solar Panels A Worthwhile Investment?

You may be wondering if adding or replacing defective solar panels for your water boiler is a worthwhile investment.

Budget is tight, replacing the panels is costly, let's cap them off and forget about it.

Well, in the long run that may be a terrible decision. Let's look at the numbers.

Most water boilers have a 2.5KwH heating element. At today's rate that amounts to roughly NIS 1.375 an hour. For larger families that run the boiler for two hours a day, seven days a week, the cost per year is over a thousand shekels!

Within two-three years this family would be seeing a full return on their investment. How many investments see that type of return?
