Possible Causes
Flow temperature set too low on Termet control panel, Pump speed too low, System incorrectly balanced with some radiators throttled, Sludge buildup reducing heat transfer
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
User checks:
- Increase the CH flow temperature on the boiler control panel within recommended limits.
- Ensure all radiator valves are open, especially on radiators far from the boiler.
- Bleed radiators to remove trapped air.
Technician checks:
- Check and adjust the pump speed and verify adequate flow through the system.
- Balance the radiators by adjusting lockshield valves to ensure even heating.
- Inspect for sludge and consider a power flush and installation of a magnetic filter.
- Verify that the boiler's maximum CH output is correctly set in the parameters for the property size.
Proper balancing and flow settings are essential for comfort and efficiency.
