How well do you know your Alde system?
Whether you’ve got a brand new Alde heating system or you’ve been using one for years, it’s always a good idea to refresh your knowledge so that you can get the best out of the system and enjoy maximum comfort on your travels. Let’s have a look at some of the most common questions we get regarding our systems.
How do I get hot water without central heating?
It’s easy to get hot water without central heating, which is particularly handy if it’s warm outside and you don’t want to heat the whole vehicle. It’s really simple, too; just set your room temperature to 4 °C below ambient and you can get hot water without heating the space.
What fluid should I top up my heating system with?
You should always use an Alde-approved fluid if possible. Find out about Alde-approved fluids and topping up your system here.
How often should I replace my heating fluid?
If your system contains Alde-approved fluid, you should replace it every five years. If the fluid in your system is not Alde-approved, you should replace it with an approved product as soon as possible.
Can I use my central heating system even if there’s no water in it?
Yes, the hot water cylinder doesn’t contain any electric heating components, so you can use the central heating freely.
How do I use Night/Day Mode on my heating system?
Night/Day Mode is extremely useful for helping you stay comfortable during waking and sleeping hours. Click here to read our detailed guide to programming your preferred Night/Day settings.
Why is my Alde heating suddenly noisy?
If your system is no longer providing the near-silent performance that Alde systems are known for, it could be air trapped in the pipes. If this is the case, you’ll need to bleed the air. If the system has been worked on recently, the technician might have left the pump speed on too high. Turn it back down to between speed 2 and 3 and peace and quiet will resume.
