HIU Annual service is crucial for maintaining your unit in top condition and ensuring it operates efficiently without wasting energy. Over time, parts may become faulty or settings can drift out of calibration, leading to unnecessary energy consumption. This happens when the heat network continues pumping heated water to your apartment’s HIU even when there’s…
HIU is still a niche equipment and most regular plumbers or gas engineers lack familiarity with how the unit operates. Employing HIU specialists company will provide you with an engineer who have in-depth knowledge of different types and brands of HIUs. This expertise ensures they can accurately diagnose and fix issues specific to your HIU…
Installing inline scale reducer on cold water pipe supply to HIU (heat interface unit) minimises scale build up, promotes energy efficiency and reduces risk of unexpected HIU breakdowns providing chance of achieving its maximum potential lifespan. Scale buildup in a HIU, most of the time inside plate heat exchanger can act as an insulator,…
Testing water quality of HIU secondary heating system is crucial as it impacts both the efficiency and longevity of a heating system no matter if it is connected to the radiators or underfloor heating: Preventing Corrosion: Poor water quality can lead to corrosion inside radiators and other components of the heating system. Corrosion can…
Smart room thermostats connected to the HIU offer a range of benefits that enhance both the convenience and efficiency of home heating: Remote Control: Most smart thermostats can be controlled remotely via a smartphone app. This allows you to adjust your home’s temperature from anywhere, providing convenience and flexibility. Energy Savings: Smart thermostats…
Installing a magnetic filter to a HIU secondary heating system provides several benefits: Protection Against Sludge and Debris: The primary function of a magnetic filter is to capture iron oxide sludge and metallic debris. This sludge, if left unchecked, can cause blockages and reduce the efficiency of the heating system. Increased Efficiency: By…
It’s important for a HIU specialist to explain to residents how HIU heating and hot water systems are controlled for several reasons: Optimal Use of the System: Understanding how to properly control the system enables residents to use it efficiently, ensuring they get the maximum benefit in terms of comfort and functionality. Energy Efficiency:…
A dripping tap or poor plumbing in an apartment can indirectly affect a HIU in several ways: Increased Demand on the HIU: Dripping hot water taps lead to a continuous, albeit small, demand for hot water. This can cause the HIU to cycle on more frequently than necessary, potentially reducing its efficiency and lifespan….
The importance of well-functioning radiators, properly working radiator valves, a balanced heating system, and regularly bled radiators is crucial for the efficiency of a HIU and the conservation of energy: Efficient Heat Distribution: Properly working radiators ensure efficient distribution of heat throughout the space. If radiators are malfunctioning, the HIU has to work harder to…
Manifold: Small leaks can occur at the joints or valves, often due to wear or improper installation. Air can get trapped in the manifold, leading to inefficiency in the system. Buildup of debris or scaling of hard water can block the manifold, affecting water flow. Actuator: Actuators can fail to open or close the valves…
