Under the advocacy of "coal-to-electricity" for clean heating in the country, more and more households use electric heating, and how to save energy has become a problem that many people pay attention to. In addition to good house insulation, temperature control is one of the keys to energy saving. Some users who have installed electric heating will always turn on the thermostat when needed, and turn off the thermostat when they go out, thinking that this will save electricity. In fact, this will not only save energy, but will consume more energy. So how to use the thermostat to achieve real energy saving?     Myth 1. Is it possible to save energy when you use it right away?   Turn on the thermostat when you need it and turn it off when you go out, which consumes energy. An electric heating system is a system that operates at low temperatures. Has good heat storage. After the system is turned on, it takes a certain amount of time for the room temperature to reach the set temperature, while the indoor temperature will not drop rapidly after the system is turned off. When it is turned on again, it also takes a longer time to make the temperature rise again. Frequent switching not only fails to save energy, but also increases the operating cost of the heating system.   Correct use method: The temperature of the room that is not frequently used can be lowered by a few degrees through the thermostat. When you leave the house for a long time, you only need to lower the temperature of the thermostat by a few degrees. You can choose to turn off the system when you don’t live for a long time or leave for a long time. , but it should be noted that if there is equipment in the room that is afraid of freezing, it should be turned on to a certain temperature to prevent the equipment or pipes from freezing.         Misunderstanding 2. The higher the temperature set by the thermostat, the faster the temperature rises? Some users feel that the room temperature is low, and they need to set the temperature of the thermostat to the highest temperature if they need to heat up quickly. This approach is also wrong. The heating time of the room temperature depends on the indoor and outdoor temperature difference and the installed power per unit area of ​​the room. Under the condition that the installation power and the temperature difference between indoor and outdoor are certain, no matter how many degrees are set, the time for the room to rise to the temperature you need is the same. If the room is 16 degrees now, and you want the room to heat up to 18 degrees, in this case, set the room temperature to 18 degrees or 20 degrees, 25 degrees, and the time it takes to heat up to 18 degrees is the same.   Correct use method:   Set as many degrees as needed, or use an intelligent thermostat, the thermostat can automatically calculate the advance opening time of the thermostat.
