New Web Site Highlights Energy-Saving Benefits of Danfoss Thermostatic Radiator Valves

TRVs Can Save Homeowners as Much as 20 Percent on Home Heating Costs


TORONTO--(Marketwire - July 13, 2009) - A new web site -- www.RadiatorControl.com -- launched by Danfoss Heating provides homeowners with important information about energy-saving thermostatic radiator valves (TRVs).

The user-friendly site highlights the features and benefits of TRVs, including improved home comfort, increased energy savings and reduced heating costs -- as much as 20 percent less. And installing a TRV is much less expensive than replacing an entire heating system.

The TRV senses temperature changes in individual rooms -- the result of "free heat" from sunlight, appliances, occupants, etc. Then the valve adjusts the flow of hot water or steam through the relevant radiators to the desired levels, improving temperature control and ensuring comfort while conserving energy. The valve is easy for a professional to install, and it can be placed on as many radiators as needed, providing custom temperature control throughout a home heated by hot water or steam radiators.

In addition to detailed product and application information, the web site includes a number of automated videos that describe the design of a TRV, demonstrate how to set the thermostat and illustrate how the valve provides custom temperature control and helps with the hydraulic balance of a home heating system. The site also provides a contractor locator that allows homeowners to search for a certified installer near them.

QUOTES

Jason Paquette, marketing manager, Danfoss Heating:

-- "As homeowners search for ways to conserve money and reduce their home heating costs, Danfoss offers an affordable solution with its thermostatic radiator valves. This new web site uses automated flash presentations to explain just how easy it is to install the valve and immediately reduce heating costs by as much as 20 percent, just by improving the efficiency of a home heating system. Improved efficiency, through the ability to control temperature in every room that uses a radiator, also improves comfort."

Dan Foley, president, Foley Mechanical, Inc.

-- "This site is exactly what I need to help consumers understand what a TRV is and what it does. I can tell a client that a TRV will solve their problem, but if they don't know me, they need some verification and good documentation that supports what I'm telling them about the TRV. This site does a great job explaining the TRV, how it works and the benefits of comfort and energy savings it offers."
