The method cans be applied in all the standard volumetric storage electric boilers, as it enables the most efficient usage of stored energy. The current control methods foresee the start of the heating process (storage) immediately after turning on and applying voltage to the boiler and to finish in a moment of reaching the maximum temperature defined by its thermal controller. Considerable disadvantage in the case is that between this time and period of hot water consumption there is a long time period usually, when the boiler: (a) - operates in ON/OFF mode, leading to accelerating damaging the thermal controller; (b) radiates irreparably energy in environment; (c) loading useless the energy system. The proposed method resolves these problems as enables the boiler to operate in delay mode, i.e., the heating process to be shifted in time in such manner that one to be independent on the switching on time and to finish in time when the hot water consumption is expected.
