Possible Causes

Undersized Hoval furnace for load, Dirty heat exchanger reducing efficiency, Circulation pump speed too low, Air trapped in radiators and Hoval boiler

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Allow system to cool slightly before bleeding radiators.

  • Check setpoint: Verify that the flow temperature and room setpoints on the Hoval controller are high enough for current weather.
  • Bleed radiators: Starting from the lowest floor, bleed air from radiators until water flows steadily. Top up system pressure afterwards.
  • Check pump speed: If the circulation pump has adjustable speeds, set it to a higher speed as recommended by Hoval.
  • Clean heat exchanger: Schedule a service to clean the burner and heat exchanger surfaces to restore full output.
