How to operate your system efficiently
The Ecodan provides water at a lower temperature than the gas or oil
fired boiler you may be used to. This means that you may notice some
differences between this system and ones you have used before.
Below is a list of the main differences and how these will affect you.
Difference to
Oil/Gas boiler
Low flow
temperatures
Central heating will
not run whilst the hot
water tank is being
heated.
Advanced Controls
To optimise running costs it is advisable the homeowner seeks the most cost effective
electricity tariff. An internet search facility like www.uswitch.com will be able to help.
Implication
Radiators will not feel
hot to the touch.
Central heating may
be slower to respond
when you change the
set temperature.
Room temperature
may decrease a little
during water tank
heat up.
Self learning controls
mean that the system
runs more efficiently.
Action Needed
This is not a problem for
heating. It is advisable not
to hang clothes over the
radiators as it prevents
the heat from passing to
the air in the room.
Reaction times differ
between systems of
different sizes. Please
ensure you wait sufficient
time before adjusting the
controls again.
Use the schedule function
to heat water up
overnight or during
a time when the home
is unoccupied.
It is nearly always more
efficient to run the system
in "Room Auto Adaptation"
mode for heating.
