Recommendation for isolation, regardless of corona

Moore Moskowitz, director of the Delonghi brand,

talks to Eitan about the quick and effective way of maintaining home heat and saving electricity and begins with a general safety warning: "First and foremost, choose a device that is not dangerous to children and / or animals because safety is paramount."

Moskowitz adds and recommends examining the area before deciding to purchase a heater: "Before deciding that the house needs heating, check the openings (windows and doors) as proper insulation can significantly reduce energy costs on heating. It is advisable to seal the grooves between the window and the door frame and body. "The door to the threshold. A more closed room will prevent hot air from escaping, so the windows of the house and the doors of the rooms that do not need to be heated must be closed."

Moskowitz recommends equipping the cool spaces in the house with rugs. He claims that they are able to heat the space literally, since, beyond heating the atmosphere, they have the power to insulate from the cold that is distributed from the floor.

"If you have already decided that an area in the house requires heating, choose a device designed for an area that is precisely designed. Each area in the house is suitable for a different type of heating, so before buying you will understand with yourself which area in the house is intended to heat: children's room, living room, shower, bathroom. "Considering that the recommended temperature for heating the home space is 22 degrees," Moskowitz concludes.

Small heater

Another means of heating offered by the 'Max' chain is a heater with 2 heating elements that can select situations, it has a handle for convenient carrying, space-saving and suitable for use in small spaces such as rooms or offices.

The heating capacity of this type of furnace is limited by its small size, the heat distribution area is relatively small and able to heat a focused and limited area. While using this type of oven we have a tendency to get very close to it which can cause overheating and more than once we find ourselves turning it off to cool down a bit and turning it on again several times an hour. Upon his removal from us, he is unlikely to be determined in his heat but in some situations, his presence will save from stagnation, making it ideal for small spaces like work corners.

The heater is equipped with a material that protects the immediate environment, but in any case it is important to keep it away from objects / people / animals and of course children.

We received the reference from

For the power consumption of small heaters: "Spiral heaters are considered to be particularly large power wasters, and in addition are also controversial in terms of the safety aspect of the risk of sofas, blankets flaring up, etc. and therefore, it is important to choose a safer alternative."

"Heat diffusers, similar to compact heaters, also offer a point solution for small and medium-sized rooms. But even in their case, this is a high power consumption compared to air conditioners, similar to radiators and spiral heaters," notes Hellman.

Price: NIS 60.

Available at select electrical stores.

The classic radiator

The word radiator, familiar to all of us as such, means "heat radiator." The body of the radiator is made of cold and heavy metal (perhaps due to the internal pipe system in which hot liquid passes which heats up with the connection of the radiator to a power source. The radiator is usually equipped with wheels for towing from room to room .

: "the radiator produces a pleasant warmth without feeling the dryness resulting from the operation of an air conditioner however, they consume relatively large power (approximately 2.5 times compared to the air conditioner)"

This type of heating usually heats up relatively slowly and cools down in the same way, and according to Moore Moskowitz, director of the Delonghi brand, this fact is considered an advantage because: "The radiator cools for a longer time. From home) and continue to enjoy the heat it radiates until it cools down. "

Air conditioner: Dry saving

Many talk and talk about the dryness felt with heating the house using an air conditioner in the winter, but at least it can be said that it is considered safe and economical.

Here, too, we were required to find out from Oren Hellman: "Heating the house using an air conditioner is twice as cost-effective and even three times more efficient than using various heaters. The air conditioner heats efficiently, quickly and safely. ".

Hellman adds: "The recommended temperature for the home space in winter is 20-18 degrees Celsius. It is important to remember that the addition of each degree will increase the power consumption by about 5%. The air conditioner shutters should be adjusted downwards in winter to maximize air distribution. ), Because the heat goes up. "

Hagai Blumenthal, Marketing Director at Tadiran Group

, refers to the heating differences between Supreme Surface Air Conditioner in OFF / ON technology and Surface Air Conditioner in Inverter technology: "The air conditioners are visually identical, but the technology affects the cost of purchasing the product "ON, the air-conditioned space reaches the desired temperature and the compressor stops and returns to work only after a change of about 2 degrees in the air-conditioned space."

"On the other hand, in a surface air conditioner with inverter technology, the compressor always works. When the temperature in the room reaches the desired temperature, the compressor changes frequency to a lower speed, the feeling of warmth will be more pleasant and we will not feel strong heat blows coming out of the air conditioner." Uniform temperature in the air-conditioned space. "

Blumenthal also compares and notes regarding power consumption that: "In an air conditioner with OFF / ON technology, each start of the compressor increases the power consumption 10 times compared to a compressor in continuous work, thus the cost of using a regular air conditioner compared to an inverter will be 15% more expensive."

Referring to the price: "When the two air conditioners have an energy rating of the same A.

In terms of costs, cost inverter air conditioner usually about 20% more than the cost of an air conditioner is the same technology OFF / ON ".

Price: For example, the most advanced model air conditioner Tadiran also includes sample air purification technology SUPREME 15 will cost about NIS 2,800, while the analogous model SUPREME INV 180 Inverter technology will cost about NIS 3,300.

Did you not turn on the boiler again?

If there is one thing Israelis hate, it is waiting for warm water in the winter. The tedious wait for the hot water that will suffice for the whole family comes to several hours and the cumulative monthly cost is, of course, very high.

An Israeli patent always guarantees you hot water, even if you forgot (again) to turn on the boiler. There are quite a few solutions to the same problem in the market, but each has a disadvantage and advantages. The Israeli patent Speed ​​hit from Beit Hitron promises to provide us with hot water at any given moment and at the same time not to harm the boiler itself.

He says: "In many homes in Israel it is not possible to install immediate water heating systems on electricity because they do not have three-phase electricity which is already almost standard in the construction of new buildings, so we found a solution for those consumers. Our product improves existing boiler function and provides a solution for those customers "Faster water heating, which is avoided due to the state of the electricity infrastructure in the house. This solution is also effective for Shabbat observers who no longer have to turn off the switch at Shabbat and then turn it on again on Saturday, they just always get hot water."

Hitron's patent, Speed ​​hit , Water heater up to 10 times faster than a standard water heater and saving up to 80% in electricity consumption (according to manufacturer data).

So, how does it work?

Edri explains this in a very simple way - "Every house has an electric / solar boiler with a heating element inside. In order to get hot water for one shower, the heating element heats all the water in the boiler, a procedure that takes more than an hour and a lot of energy is invested in it. mean we need 20 liters of hot water only, must be warmed between 150-200 liters of water, depending on the size of the boiler.

Speed hit moves the work the heating out and thus makes the boiler vessel for storing hot water alone. booster takes water from the bottom of the boiler, heating "And" throws "them up, to the top of the boiler so that the hot water will be available quickly."

Price: NIS 2,800.

The price includes installation and 5 years warranty on the accelerator and one year on the heating element.
