Customer Concerns:

  1. Noisy Operation:

    • Possible Causes:
      • Loud heating pump:
        • Ensure system pressure is maintained (minimum 0 bar when cold) and vent if required.
        • Adjust pump speed to maintain a temperature difference of approximately 11°C.
        • If noise persists during heating, check and adjust system bypass if applicable.
      • Noisy electric flow boiler:
        • Verify flow rate through the electric boiler and adjust pump speed accordingly.
        • Maintain system pressure (minimum 0 bar when cold) and vent if necessary.
      • Noise during hot water usage:
        • Check system pressure and vent pump if noisy.
        • Address water hammer issues such as loose pipework or tap washers.

  2. Poor Hot Water Service:

    • Possible Causes:
      • Insufficient system pressure.
      • Malfunctioning electric flow boiler.
      • Incorrect 3 port mixing valve setting.
      • Incorrect store temperature settings.
      • Plate heat exchanger pump problems.
      • Inadequate flow rate or inconsistent temperature.
      • Space heating load surpassing specifications.
