Is the Fivy energy efficient?

The Fivy is lot 20 compliant and the shape is designed to be energy efficient, by distributing the heat generated evenly. The feed back we have had from our customers over the years is that the Fivy is saving them money. The Fivy will cut in and out to maintain the desired room temperature, so its not always on if the set room temperature is reached. The window sensor on the Fivy has been a fantastic energy saving device. For example if the window or door is left open by accident the sensor will detect an abnormal - sudden drop in room temperature and turn the Fivy to the frost protection setting 7C. The Fivy will start flashing, along with a bleeping noise to indicate there is a problem.
