<p>In a method for controlling the sequential operation of supplementary electric heaters (41) so that the amount of energy consumption is minimized, the operation of the heaters (41) is prevented as long as a lower night set-back temperature (SP1) can reach the higher reference set point during the daytime within a predetermined time interval. A microprocessor (38) is provided to control the operation of night set-back automatically. During the return to the higher set point, the measured temperature is compared at each of a number of sampling times with a value required at that time and if it is less for two consecutive times, a further heater is activated. <IMAGE></p> |
