Frequently Asked Questions

• How do I choose the right output for a solid-fuel boiler? Base your choice on the calculated heat loss of the building being heated; however, for wood/coal boilers also consider that the boiler burns for several hours at essentially constant output during a single fill – it is therefore common practice to add a buffer (accumulation) tank to the boiler, which stores excess heat for later use instead of the boiler having to be inefficiently throttled down.
• What else do I need to install this boiler? Besides the boiler itself, the system generally requires: a buffer (balancing) tank of appropriate volume, a circulation pump (often already fitted with a built-in Laddomat or a thermoregulating valve to protect the boiler against low-temperature corrosion), a safety valve, an expansion vessel, and a flue/chimney with sufficient draught corresponding to the boiler’s output – you can find the exact chimney draught values in the technical parameters above.
• What fuel is suitable, and what isn’t? Use only the fuel recommended by the manufacturer for the given model (typically split logs of a defined length and moisture content, or brown-coal briquettes or coal depending on the boiler type) – unsuitable or excessively damp fuel reduces efficiency, increases the formation of tar and deposits, and can damage the boiler.
• What about chimney inspection and legislation? Before commissioning the boiler, as well as regularly during its use (usually once a year for solid fuels), a chimney inspection/cleaning by an authorised chimney sweep is required by law – without the relevant inspection certificate, an insurance claim in the event of a fire may also be disputed.
• How much maintenance does the boiler require? This generally includes regularly removing ash and cleaning the heating surfaces/flue gas paths of soot (interval depending on intensity of use, usually a matter of weeks), plus a thorough annual inspection including seals and the chimney.
• Can I install the boiler myself? The actual placement and connection of the boiler to the heating system, chimney and safety components should be carried out, or at least professionally inspected, by a heating technician – this is equipment involving an open flame, high temperatures and pressurised components, where a connection error can be a safety risk.
