Inspection and maintenance
To achieve as low energy consumption as possible for a
longer period of time, we recommend that you sign an
agreement with an authorised installer concerning
annual inspection and on-demand maintenance.
Thermostat valves
The thermostat valves on radiators and floor coils can
have a negative effect on the heating system by slowing
the flow and, by doing so, the heat pump must
compensate with a higher temperature. If thermostat
valves are installed, they should be fully opened, except
in bedrooms or other areas where a lower temperature
is required. In these rooms they can be somewhat
closed.
Floor heating
Do not set a flow temperature that is higher than the
highest value recommended by the floor manufacturer.
Airing
Do not leave the windows ajar when you air. This makes
heat leave the room all the time, while the air in the room
does not become especially better. Instead, open the
windows fully for a short time.
Close the thermostat valves when you air.
Additional electric heat
Different settings (e.g. extra hot water) lead to the
activation of an additional electric heat source and
thereby to higher energy consumption.
Always select a temperature setting for hot water and
heating that is as low as possible.
