ECOMBI FITS PERFECTLY WITH
OTHER HEAT SOURCES

ECOMBI is probably the best price sensitive heating solution on the market. ECOMBI is itself a complete heating system providing heat 24 hours but using energy at low rate prices. ECOMBI can also be installed in conjunction with other heating solutions or as an add-on to an existing heat source in the house.

ECOMBI AND AIR SOURCED HEAT PUMPS

ECOMBI and Heat Pumps are new concepts in the North American market. If you’re looking for ways to decrease your electricity or oil bill, it is very much worth considering the benefits of ECOMBI units together with heat pumps for your comfort, as well as your pocketbook.

Most Utilities in North America, when you install ECOMBI, qualify homeowners for the special meter which allows them to use off-peak electrical rates for their entire home.

These programs encourage users to concentrate the energy usage load at a time when stress on the power system is light — in the evenings and overnight — and in so doing, users can save a lot of money over typical rates.

Heat pumps are a great complement to ECOMBI because they are not actually producing heat — rather, they are extracting existing heat from the outdoors and redistributing it into the home. They can reduce heat expenses in peak hours.

They are a very good complement for big and open areas when space for installing several ECOMBI heaters is limited.

Furthermore, Heat Pump functionality can be reversed in the summer months, cooling your house when it’s warm.

Air Sourced Heat Pumps alone will not heat your house enough in winter time. They are a very good complement for existing heating systems.

ECOMBI AND STANDARD ETS (FAN FORCED STORAGE HEATERS)

ETS units are not always ideal for heating your entire home. Larger units, which tend to be a bit bulky, serve best in recreation rooms and basements. You can think of these as a super-charged space heater; great for those big and open rooms that just don’t ever feel warm enough.

ECOMBI is a smaller, slimmer and a sleeker unit that provides comfort in smaller areas in the house that have cold spots such as corridors, bathrooms or bedrooms. They can easily replace existing electric baseboard heaters, maintaining a constant or programmed set up temperature at a reduced energy cost.

The whole idea of using this combination of products is to provide heat around the clock in the whole house moving all the heat energy expenses to the off peak hours in order to reduce expenses.

ECOMBI AND GAS OR WOOD STOVES AND FIREPLACES

Stoves and Fireplaces are heating solutions used mainly in big open rooms as living, dining or recreation rooms. They are solutions that are limited to certain hours per day and only to the room where they are installed.

ECOMBI can help to provide heat to the rest of the house and also to that room when the fireplace is off, by compensating the temperature decrease and balance the heat in the entire house by programming and setting the desired temperature in each room.

ECOMBI BEHAVIOR IN COMBINATION WITH OTHER HEAT SOURCES

In this mode, ECOMBI will operate as a traditional standard storage heater, backed up by a convection system that can be used as necessary to heat the room as required.

There are times, particularly in spring and autumn, when the temperature can change sharply from one day to another, or even on the same day. The storage heater might not have charged all the energy needed to provide the heat the room may require. Some extra heating would be needed as a back-up to ensure the room is at a comfortable temperature.
