Producing hot water is a significant energy consumer in any household. Earlier this year, we introduced hot water monitoring in the Kapacity.io Cloud, and today, we are excited to announce the Beta release of our Hot Water Boost feature. This innovative feature is designed to time your water heating to the cheapest electricity hours, helping you save money on your energy bills.
Key Benefits of Hot Water Boost Intelligent Scheduling Hot Water Boost intelligently schedules the heating of your hot water to coincide with the lowest electricity price hours. This optimizes your energy usage by reducing the need to heat water during the more expensive hours of the day, leading to savings on your electricity bill.
Unlimited Hot Water With Hot Water Boost, there is no limit to the amount of hot water you can use. Enjoy the comfort and convenience of having hot water available whenever you need it, without worrying about exceeding any limits.
