In order for your heating system to work effectively and efficiently, it is essential that the water volume is set correctly and the heat distribution is optimized. Signs that this is not the case are, for example, a hissing in the radiators or if one room in your building heats up faster than another room. Then is worthwhile itself in many cases a hydraulic adjustment, which must be accomplished by a specialized enterprise.

The heat check of co2online helps you to find out whether a hydraulic adjustment should be accomplished with you. co2online is a non-profit consulting company that offers various tests on its website that can show you how high your energy and resource consumption is in comparison. The tests only take five minutes on average and offer a good first overview.

If the check shows that hydraulic balancing is worthwhile, co2online will suggest specialist companies in your area and forward the contact details to your regional consumer advice center. The costs of a hydraulic balancing can be between 600 and 1.300€. However, these costs are eligible for subsidies. The program "Bundesförderung für effiziente Gebäude (BEG)" of the Bundesamt für Wirtschaft und Ausfuhrkontrolle (Federal Office of Economics and Export Control) takes over 20% of the costs incurred by you.
