Hallo Leute,
Ich bin gerade in ein neues Haus gezogen und es gibt ein paar dieser Boost -Schalter an den Wänden und ich habe diese noch nie gesehen. Kann mich jemand aufklären, wofür sie sie haben?

They make the house go faster
Just press it, what the worst that could happen
House lifts up and flies off, like the Tardis.
G’wan press it ya mad thing..
Press it and it tells you you’re looking great today (or something to that effect).
It’s like Trump’s Diet Coke button. Except you get bars of chocolate
The earth’s orbit naturally widens over time – which makes things colder. When you press this button it boosts the earth to fix it’s orbit and warm things up again.
Lots of people have these, so if you forget to press it shouldn’t be so bad.
immersion or radiators, or both
Is there mechanical ventilation in the house? Could be a boost for exhaust.
I’ve boost buttons that boost the mechanical ventilation in the bathrooms. Idea is it pulls the moisture out of the air quicker after a shower or during the shower. When you press it you can hear the hum from it get louder if that makes sense.
Since no one has answered properly, im guessing its the ventilation through the house. Do you have ventilation on ceiling in kitchen and bathrooms?
We have new build and they have constant ventilation and can press button to increase it for 10 mins.
Like new new? Do you have mechanical ventilation?
If so press it and listen for a fan speeding up. Fan is likely in the attic if you can’t hear it immediately.
If they’re for boosting a central ventilation fan they’ll probably be near bathrooms, kitchen, utility rooms. Unless you’re the person who built my house and put fucking one boost switch in the least convenient place.
If not it might be a heating or immersion booster.
If there is more than one they are probably for electric heaters/underfloor heating.
If only one it’s usually for the hot water cylinder. Or it could be wired to ventilation.
Look, you live only once, if you see a button, no matter where, even inside a nuclear power plant or a rocket silo, press it. Something should happen. The worst case nothing will happen.
For boost
So you are in a house with several random „boost“ switches?!
The button says PRESS, so press it. Press them all. I need to know.
One of these drops on your head when you press it.

Boost bar dispenser
It gives compliments when you’re feeling down
They boost
Thats probably an immersion heater booster so people dont switch it on and forget to turn it off. Typically it will be connected to a timer set to 15 mins. Enough for a shower.
It turns your stairs into an escalator.
I’m going to have another boost John
It heats the hot water . Don’t leave it on or there will be war.
Helps ya reach the top shelf
Press it and you get a moro
If you have an electronic heating system (air to water heat pump etc. very common new builds due to energy efficiency regulations) it’s probably zonally controlled, and each individual boost button can be used to boost the heat to that room for 30 mins to an hour depending on the settings.
Should be shown in the manuals for the heating system! Did you get a handover pack when you bought the house?
Most houses only go to 10, but this one goes to 11.
I like all the jokes lol. Sadly it’s just a 10 min HRV boost if you destroy the bathroom, gets rid of the smell quicker. The steam too.
Flux capacitor I reckon
That’s the boost for the spining disc in your electric meter.
Pump up the jam.
I’ve encountered „boost“ buttons on both HVAC heaters as well as water heaters in France. Most all of them are on timers and shut off during „Low peak“ times. Boost turns them back on for a predetermined amount of time.
Makes your house go faster.
Go outside, open your ESB meter box, look at the spinny thing; go back inside & press the button, go back outside & the spinny bit should be going faster.
Is it only 1? Does the place have an electric water heater tank? Might just be to ‚boost‘ the heating of the tank.
Could also be for an air circulation system.
