Here are some basic recommendations that can help assess the proper functioning of the issuer and / or remedy any defect or irregularity.
Before you start make sure the transmitter is properly connected to the electricity grid and the power switch is actuated. Then make sure that the working temperature you selected for the issuer is above room temperature.
If, after completing these tests continues to observe that the issuer is not working properly, there could be any of these reasons:
- It has been automatically enabled a security device. Disconnect the unit from the wall outlet and wait 30 minutes. After that time, reconnect the transmitter and actuate the switch back on.
- The Thermic emitter is not properly sized for the room. Check with your dealer if the calculations had been correct in terms of: size, orientation and insulation of the stay and the climate zone where you are. These calculations are used to evaluate whether to install a larger issuer.
- Programming error (jumps in temperature, sudden temperature variations...) Leave a large temperature jump when the sender program can cause an increase in energy consumption with a lower yield, or what is the same: that the issuer long time to reach the desired temperature further increasing our invoice.
To avoid this we must try not to make a big difference in temperature when making programming for example: it is best to schedule a temperature of 20 º C while the room is occupied and 16 º C when unoccupied, to schedule 20 and 10 º C respectively, and that the time to go from one temperature to another, will be lower (increased comfort) and energy consumption will also decrease (increased savings).
* The temperature in winter should be about 21 º C, under current regulations. Heating calculations are made taking into account the average outside temperature for each zone. (Ex: if in an area with average external temperature of 10 ° are given prolonged temperatures of 0 º, it may happen that the heating system is not able to provide the extra performance means, save a thermal top in 10th as planned, since was not installed for this. This situation affects all types of heating, not only electrical systems).
- There is an object that prevents good air circulation. It is not advisable to use cubrerradiadores or shelves, and the placement of clothes, blankets etc.. above the emitter: this may mean greater power consumption and reduced device performance.
- His home is situated on the first or top floor of the block. The houses that occupy the first or top floor of a building may experience higher heat loss than the rest, as they do not have heated constructions (above or below) to make the "brake" (sandwich effect). These homes need an extra intake of energy to compensate for these losses.
- Excessive dust or dirt in the environment (staining). The appearance of stains on the wall, just above the heating equipment is not in any symptom of a malfunction of the issuers, but an excess of dust particles in the ambient air (including dust particles ) circulates through the elements of the issuer, is heated and exits through the top of the device, leaving the particles attached to the wall and causing spots on it. The best practice is to ventilate the room regularly and periodically clean the spaces between the elements of the radiator, to keep them free of dust and dirt.
