Benefits for users
Direct comparison of energy efficiency measures and
the associated savings
Enable your customers to increase the level of comfort
in their own homes, to save on energy costs and still do
their bit for the environment – all with the MAX! system,
the energy efficient heating control solution.
Heating costs account for the largest share of what pri-
vate households spend on energy. Annually, they are
three times higher than the amount of expenditure that
goes on lighting, electrical appliances and hot water
combined. Although there are regulations in place to
ensure the construction of energy efficient buildings, the
vast majority of homes in Germany were actually built
before these regulations came into force. This means
that there are more than 26 million households that are
needlessly burning away their cash.
There are plenty of countermeasures, whether it be fit-
ting roof and wall insulation or installing a new heating
system. But these all require a high level of initial invest-
ment. All, apart from the MAX! heating control system
that is! For an investment of just 3 to 5 euros per square
metre, customers can cut their energy costs by a quarter,
with the CO
2
emissions for a multiple dwelling unit such
as a block of flats being reduced by several tonnes.
This means that after approximately two years most
users will have saved more money than the solution
actually cost them in the first place. If the customers
were to hire the technology rather than purchasing it,
they could start making savings as of the very first month.
But that’s not all. MAX! users are not just able to save
money and help protect the environment; they can also,
and perhaps most importantly from their perspective,
improve the level of comfort in their own home. Instead
of feeling guilty about heating their home all day to
achieve an average temperature and then just turning
the system down slightly at night, they can now heat spe-
cific areas at the times that suit them best. For example,
they can turn the heat up slightly in the bathroom when
it’s time to get up and lower the bedroom temperature in
the evening while still keeping the living room nice and
cosy - fully automatically.
The technology is easy to understand, install and operate,
which is REALLY important from the point of view of cus-
tomer acceptance. It is with this in mind that the modu-
lar and expandable system offers solutions for individual
rooms right through to complete houses.
