Hi Folks,
After looking at the threads on power consumption and running costs I haven't managed to find one that shows the actual kwh consumption of an Izzo Alex Duetto (I've seen one that outlines cost in euros). Being curious I've run some experiments with my kill-a-watt and Alex Duetto 3 and here are the results for anyone that might be interested:
Room Ambient: 21C
PID Setting: 92C
Steam Boiler ON:
- Warm up for 1hr 0.42 kwh
- Consecutive 1hr idling 0.17 kwh
Steam Boiler OFF:
- Warm up for 1hr 0.20 kwh
- Consecutive 1hr idling 0.09 kwh
Basically turning the steam boiler off while idling can cut your power consumption by pretty much half. It comes up to temp within a few minutes when you need steam power/hot water.
Enjoy!
