If you suspect that the device is measuring incorrectly, you should contact the meter reading company or the authorized service without delay.

To reduce your natural gas bill, efficient use of heat at home is essential. The temperature of unused rooms should be kept low, and thermostatic valves should be preferred. Not blocking the front and top of radiators with furniture or curtains allows the heat to spread better into the room. Curtains should be kept open during the day to benefit from the sunlight and closed in the evenings to prevent heat loss. Additionally, having the radiators cleaned regularly and setting appropriate room temperatures will provide savings.

If the calorimeter is installed backwards, it cannot measure. In this case, the installation must be corrected according to the installation diagram as soon as possible.

A heat cost allocator determines the relative heat consumption of apartments by measuring the radiator surface temperature and ambient temperature, and it is used for cost allocation in central heating systems. A calorimeter, on the other hand, calculates the actual heat energy consumption by measuring the temperature difference and flow rate of the water entering and leaving the apartment. Therefore, while a calorimeter directly measures consumption, a heat cost allocator performs a measurement intended for allocation.

Since heat cost allocators have no moving parts, the risk of failure is very low; however, they can be damaged by physical impact or contact with water (from outside the radiator). In calorimeters, the risk of failure is higher. Mechanical models can become clogged or wear out due to dirt and sediment in the plumbing. In ultrasonic models, calcification and corrosion can negatively affect measurement accuracy.

During the installation of heat cost allocators, the plumbing is not dismantled and the water is not drained. Since the devices are mounted directly to the radiator surface using special equipment, no breaking, dismantling, or renovation is required in the house.

Heat cost allocators can be applied to all apartments and rooms with radiators in buildings with vertical pipe (riser) heating systems.

A calorimeter can only be used in manifold systems where heat enters the apartment from a single point. Its use is mandatory in buildings with underfloor heating.

Since it is installed separately on each radiator, you can see which room consumes more heat. In this way, the source of high bills can be easily identified and unnecessary consumption can be prevented.

No. The calorimeter only measures the total heat energy entering the apartment and generates a general bill. It does not offer the possibility of room-by-room or radiator-based consumption tracking.
