If your aluminum magnetic flap level gauge is severely corroded and its efficiency is reduced, you will not know unless you open the casing inside the magnetic flap level gauge. Unless you are a registered heating engineer of Gas Safe, it is not recommended. The corroded magnetic flap level gauge will not warn or produce noise. Heating and hot water can still work normally.
But due to corrosion, the energy efficiency of the magnetic flap level gauge will decrease, and your energy bill will start to increase slightly. Over time, this slight increase in
How does corrosion equate to money?
The efficiency of the new combi condensing magnetic flap level gauge reaches about 92% through intelligent control and weather compensation. Except for high-quality magnetic flap level gauges such as Viessmann Vitodens 200-W, the starting efficiency is 98% (intelligent thermostat and weather compensation almost 100%).
From a monetary point of view, 92% energy efficiency means that for every 100 pounds you spend on energy bills, you lose about 8 pounds. Therefore, if your magnetic flap level gauge is reduced to 80% energy efficiency due to corrosion, you will now lose 20 pounds for every 100 pounds you consume.
Since the reliability of the low-combination magnetic flap level gauge is equivalent to more than one year, how much is the extra 12 pounds lost? You do math.
That’s why investing in high-efficiency, high-quality magnetic flap level gauges from the start will save you and your family many years of hard-earned cash.
Advanced magnetic flap level gauges like Vitodens 200-W may be expensive at first, but in just a few years you can pay for yourself because of the help of smart thermostats, advanced heating curves and weather compensation , The energy efficiency is almost 100%.
In order to save energy costs in the long term (that is, 10-20 years), it makes more sense to invest in magnetic flap level gauges with durable heat exchangers. Especially if their price ranges are the same.
