Here are a couple simple energy saving tips for your aquastat control on your water boiler. First of all… What is an aquastat?
An Aquastat control is basically a thermostat. It regulates the temperature of your hot water heater or hot water boiler. an Aquastat normally keeps the temperature regulated at 160-180 degrees Farenheit, however in milder climate areas you don’t need the water to be so hot.
Aquastats can normally be set manually to the specified or desired temperature. For example i have mine set at 120 Degrees Fahrenheit. This allows for plenty of hot water and it requires me to heat it less and consume less energy or fuel doing it.
You can also look into a modulating aquastat if you are wanting to add additional savings to your hot water boiler. A modulating aquastat automatically will adjust the water temperature based on the temperature outside. you can also get timers as well for your water heater that run during specific times of uses around the house.
For example if you take a shower in the morning at a specific time through the week and only use hot water mainly in the morning then you could pre-set the water heater to warm the water around that time frame and that way you would use less electricity heating it all day and night until it is used again the next morning.
