The following brief guide is an example of the steps involved in the heating check. Please refer to the operating instructions for your heating system to see what operating steps need to be performed on the heating controller.

Here's how simple it is to check your heating

Tips

Bleeding radiators, checking system pressure

You can easily identify two common reasons why "it doesn't get properly warm" yourself. And with a little technical knowledge, you can fix it yourself, too.

If the radiators gurgle or make a noise, this usually indicates air in the system. In this case, the only thing that helps is bleeding. You can find information on this under "Bleeding radiators" at heizung.de
Checking the system pressure The correct water pressure is vital for efficient functioning of the heating system. The "optimum pressure" is shown by the "green area" on the pressure display. For information on topping up, see "Heating system water pressure" at heizung.de
