Do you turn off the heating completely during vacation?

Hi,

it wasn't about whether there is a summer program, but whether you make use of the option to switch off the hot water system during longer absences. If yes, why? If no, why not?

It is known that the option exists. In summer mode, hot water still runs. So it would have to be switched to standby. In our case, that would mean completely off, only frost protection would be active. My question is: do you make use of this?

@Casper: The anti-legionella function is a matter of settings. For example, it is disabled in our system because we always heat the hot water to over 60°C anyway. In summer with solar even up to 82°C. The anti-legionella function does nothing else: heats water to at least 60 degrees.

Sure. If on vacation, then urlaubsprogramm. Our vacation program then also turns off the WW.

And if necessary, back to regarding frost protection.

whether there is a summer program,

We do not have a summer program. We have a vacation program. The "summer program" is the outdoor sensor.

Then again, specifically. Without the cat, I would have also turned off the hot water. But since someone takes care of the cat daily, I mostly just turned down the hot water so that at least some warm water is available if needed.

If not, why not?

No, because others use the house while we are away.

No, because laziness and never thought about it before. But the thing has a vacation mode ... maybe I'll remember next time.

Does the cat need warm water for showering?
