Advisers
Online advisers provide impartial and expert advice
Heating costs, electrical appliances and modernisation measures – co2online’s interactive online advisers address any topic applying to a household’s energy consumption and reveal its energy-saving potential.
Consumers receive impartial information with regard to modernisation measures, products or energy sources. The advisers combine expert knowledge of engineering with efficient communication and modern interactivity. The advisers are user-friendly, cost-efficient and available around the clock. Their product impartiality and the absence of pressure to buy removes any barriers or inhibitions on the part of the user.
co2online has been successful in its mission if the advice given by the online tools motivates users to implement a suggested action such as contacting a local energy consultant, or replacing an old fridge, for example, with a more energy efficient appliance.
Is your refrigerator power-hungry? The CoolingCheck helps you to find out quickly whether it would pay to replace your old appliance. Choose from a range of new energy-efficient appliances to suit your kitchen. The CoolingCheck allows you to calculate the CO2 emissions of your old appliance and determine the reduction in CO2 emissions achieved by purchasing a new “A++” labelled appliance.
The PumpsCheck helps house owners to decide whether it would pay to replace their existing circulation pump. All that is needed is the name-plate of the pump and the free adviser will deliver the answer in just a few minutes. These pumps circulate water in heating boilers and water pipes. They are responsible for 5 to 10 % of a private household’s electricity bill. Power-hungry pumps run up to 5,000 hours per year and may even run 24 hours a day during heating periods.
Often these pumps are oversized or old – a replacement thus pays dividends quickly. New highly energy-efficient pump technology is available now, with which a reduction of 60 to 80 % in annual electricity costs for circulation is possible!
The StandbyCheck calculates your base power consumption and the losses caused by the standby function of appliances in your home. It reveals the electricity costs that these “electricity vampires” incur.
Increasing energy prices, dwindling energy sources, insecure technologies and ever-lasting debates: house owners have many reasons to favour independent energy sources – on their own roofs. Solar energy poses a viable solution – its appeal grows ever stronger. Learn about the sun’s potential to generate electricity and heat for your home – with the help of the SolarroofCheck.
Work in progress: we have translated the SolarroofCheck into your language for you and now invite you to adapt the adviser to take into account the subsidies available in your country.
