When the heating is on, the Baxi Ecogen dual energy system produces up to 1kW of electricity per hour. Why not review the way in which electricity is used in your home so that the power generated by the Baxi Ecogen is used as effectively as possible?
Some tips for getting the most out of the Baxi Ecogen include:
- Using the washing machine or dishwasher during the evening whilst the heating is on
- Doing the ironing in the evening, perhaps while watching TV
- Charging mobile phones and other portable devices when the heating is on
All of these activities being done whilst the heating is on will mean that the electricity used will be that generated by the Baxi Ecogen dual energy system, rather than having to draw it from your electricity supplier.
There are lots of easy ways in which you can reduce the amount of energy you use in the home; here are just a few of our top energy saving tips:
- Ensure you have adequate loft and cavity wall insulation
- Check your hot water cylinder thermostat is set around 60°C
- Always turn your appliances off, don't leave them on standby

- Turn the central heating thermostat down by 1°C
- Wash your clothes at 30°C
- Switch lights off when leaving the room
- Close your curtains at dusk to stop heat escaping through the windows
- Replace all old light bulbs with new energy saving ones
- Only fill the kettle with as much water as you need
