How to save on electricity bills with energy-saving circulator pumps

We've already learned to buy energy-efficient refrigerators, washing machines or televisions. Yet there are appliances in the home that we use frequently but know very little about their energy efficiency. We're talking about circulation and circulator pumps, which could save us a lot of money on electricity bills, especially in the heating season!

Save up to 80% on energy costs.

Replace the old pump with a new one.

You will find a circulator pump in the boilers of most houses. It's a device that circulates water between the heat source and the heater. In addition to heating, circulators are also used in air conditioning systems or for heating swimming pools. 

Moreover, in the European Union, these old-style products do not comply with ErP Directive, which requires all wet circulators to have an EEI of less than 0.23 in 2015.

Currently, these old-type products no longer comply with the ErP Directive. Today, electronically controlled speed-controlled pumps are sold that not only have better settings and more features, but also save up to 80% in electricity compared to the old-type pumps.

Energy-efficient operation saves costs

The chart below compares conventional appliances and circulators to compare electricity consumption. The figures below show that if you pay, for example, 0,25 EUR for 1 kWh, you can save 180 EUR per year with a new circulator pump. These savings also arise with large wet circulator pumps for heating and hot water circulation in apartment buildings, manufacturing facilities, schools, hospitals, etc. In such cases savings can be really substantial.


By replacing the pump, you save 179.60 EUR a year.

Speed control is essential

The speed control is extremely important for energy saving. In fact, running the pump at full speed is only necessary for a minimal part of the pump's daily operation - 5-7% of the total daily operation and also only a small number of days in the heating season. Regulation also ensures smooth pump start-up and reduces the number of on/off cycles, thereby reducing mechanical stress and wear on individual pump parts.

Replacing the pump will result in up to 80% electricity savings

Do you want to save energy and replace the old pump with a new one? Or is your pump out of service and you are looking for something to replace it with? Use the form on the basis of which we will suggest a suitable and economical alternative.

Replacement of the old pump

More comfort, lower consumption

WILO Stratos pico

One of the most advanced and economical circulator pumps for heating is the new generation Stratos PICO pump from Wilo. With the automatic and continuous regulation of the pump performance provided by the Dynamic Adapt Plus function, this new product is extremely cost-effective . It allows the pump to adapt the speed control once at the start of the installation and continuously responds to changes in the heating system. You can also easily check consumption and other data on the colour display or via Bluetooth connection and mobile app.

ALPHA 2 - the best-selling circulator

GRUNDFOS ALPHA 2

  • modern design
  • high efficiency
  • easy operation
  • easy to operate
  • autoadapt mode (optional)

Circulator pump designed for heating systems in family houses and smaller heating systems. It is one of the most efficient pumps in its class on the market.

In addition to the standard operating settings, it is also provided with an AUTOADAPT mode. Electronic circuits installed in the pumps continuously monitor the operating parameters of the entire heating system such as pressure fluctuations, temperature changes or changes in the settings of the thermostatic valves on the heating elements.
