Efficient Use of the Combi Boiler in Terms of
Safety and Energy Consumption
Isolation of your building is extremely important. Energy
saving is achieved at a considerable degree since the
heat loss is lowest in houses with double-glazed windows
and insulated walls.
9
The use of thermostatic
valves in your radiators
ensures that the room temperature is constant or allows
you to save money.
9
Turning radiator valves lower levels in the rooms
which will not be used for a long time and keeping the
doors closed keeps fuel consumption low.
9
If you use the program clock with your boiler, the
combi boiler operates at the times you set and
consumes less fuel.
9
If you use your boiler with room thermostat, it keeps
the boiler temperature at the level you set and thus
allows
less fuel consumption.
9
Covering the radiator top and sides with furniture-like
things negatively affects hot air circulation, thus
prevents
the environment from overheating and increases fuel
consumption.
9
If you will leave your boiler
in operation late at night,
keeping water temperature of the heating circuit at
low
levels will ensure saving.
9
If you feel that the room temperature is high, the
radiator valves should be closed instead of opening
windows.

Clogging in Installation
9
In old installations with iron pipes, usually clogging
occurs short time after the boiler
is commissioned.
9
If clogging in installation is encountered with, then
inhibitor (Sentinel or Fernox etc.) should be added to
installation water.

Cleaning of Boiler
Keep the outer casing of the combi boiler clean by
wiping it with a soft damped cloth. Do not use strong,
abrasive cleaning agents.
Performing the maintenance once a year during the
warranty period and periodically before the winter
season after the warranty expires ensures safe use,
saves fuel and extends the useful life of the boiler.
Make sure periodic maintenance is strictly performed by
gas safe engineer.
Use original spares parts only to ensure maximum life
span and safety of the boiler.
E.C.A will not be responsible for damages to boiler
or material or living beings nearby caused by
maintenance performed by unauthorized service or staff.

:
Make sure that the heating system is clean. Power flushing
is the most efficient and effective method of cleaning a
central heating system. The principle is to create a powerful
fresh water flow under controlled conditions to remove
debris from the system. By connecting the power flushing
unit to the heating circuit in place of the system pump,
boiler or radiator the system can be thoroughly cleaned of
lime scale and corrosion debris. Without using correct
water treatment, corrosion debris will accumulate in the
boiler causing.
Lime scale deposition cause up to 30% of the system's fuel
consumption being wasted. The noise of boiler increases
as deposits of sludge and scale build-up in an unprotected
boiler. The deposits gathering in the waterways of the
boiler are causing the heat transfer loss and flow noise.
In
your heating system use proposed inhibitors as Fernox and
Sentinel.
We also advice to use magnetic cleaners for your heating
system.
Performing the maintenance once a year during the
warranty period and periodically before the winter season
after the warranty expires ensures safe use, saves fuel and
extends the useful life of the boiler. Make sure periodic
maintenance is strictly performed by E.C.A. Authorized
