Go through the check list below, should you find any faults or have questions you are always welcome to contact an Alde certified service location. Find your nearest service location here.
Is it time to change the heating fluid?
The heating fluid is necessary to protect against bacteria, corrosion and frost damage in the heating system. Alde-approved antifreeze needs changing every 5 years and we recommend only Alde-approved antifreeze is used in the Alde heating system.
It is important to know when the heating fluid was changed last, but even if the glycol is changed at the correct intervals, you should check that it’s in good condition and sits above the Min mark on the expansion tank. The heating fluid should be magenta in colour, clear of floating debris and smell sour but not of fish or vinegar.
Does the vehicle get warm?
Start your heating system, let it run for a while and check that it gets hot. If you have the possibility, it is preferred to let the boiler run on both gas and electric heating, to clear the balanced flue and stretch the electrical elements. This helps keep the system in good condition. Bleed air when needed, according to instructions in the operating instructions.
Is there water at the outlets?
Check taps and shower for both hot and cold water.
Has the gas installation had any mandatory servicing?
Depending whether your vehicle is privately-owned or hired, what it’s used for and where it’s used, it might need a mandatory gas inspection/service. For advice, contact your supplying dealer, owner’s or national clubs, or Gas Safe (or Boat Safety Scheme for inland waterways).
You should regularly check the gas hoses in your vehicle. Check that the hoses are intact, undamaged and showing no cracks, and that the hose’s expiry date has not passed.
