FAQ

You save nothing by having just one radiator on full throttle and the others closed. In fact, a fully heated radiator will use more heat than 2 or 3 that are turned only a quarter of the way up. This is especially true if your heat source is district heating.

When ventilating a room in your home, turn down your thermostat and leave the windows open for 5-6 minutes. If you don’t turn down your thermostat, it will react to the draft by heating up automatically.

Always maintain a minimum of 16 °C in all the rooms in your home. You should avoid going below 14 °C as this might damage the building and cause dampness, condensation, and mold.

You can save both energy and money by turning your radiators down 2-3 °C at night. But remember: If you turn them down more than 3 °C, the money you could save will be used to reheat the room the next day.

Check the video below to see recommended settings for your thermostat.

It all depends on your existing radiator thermostats, but here are some videos on how to demount and change different types of mechanical radiator thermostats as well as Electronic Radiator Thermostats.

Massage the radiator valve by following these steps. Remove the thermostat with an Allen key or by turning counterclockwise (on newer models). Gently push in on the exposed radiator valve pin with the flat end of the Allen key. The pin should move in 2-3mm and bounce out again. If the radiator thermostat valve pin is stuck, gently alternate between tapping the valve’s side and moving the pin in and out until it frees. Check for leaks and reattach the thermostat.

Your radiator works just as it should when it is warm on top and cold at the bottom. The hot water from the main supply enters the top of the radiator and the heat from this water is used to heat up the room. The cooled water is then sent back through the system.
