 Owner FAQs

  • The Cozy saves energy by trapping heat inside the radiators when a room reaches its desired temperature. By trapping the heat inside the radiator, it forces excess steam created by the boiler to distribute to other parts of the building that are normally under-heated.

    The Cozy also transmits temperature data to the central boiler control unit, which operates only when needed based on real-time room temperature information. As a result, the Cozy system reduces the amount of energy needed to comfortably heat the building, leading to greater comfort, lower heating costs, and avoidance of any local carbon penalty laws.
