FAQs

What is the primary benefit of using aluminium for this radiator?

Aluminium offers high thermal conductivity, leading to faster heat-up times and greater energy efficiency compared to traditional materials like steel. It's also lightweight.

Why is a heating water additive strongly recommended?

A heating water additive protects the radiator and your central heating system from corrosion and scale buildup, ensuring longevity and maintaining optimal performance. It is crucial for systems using aluminium radiators.

Can this radiator be used with a standard combi boiler?

Yes, but it is optimized for low-temperature systems. For best energy efficiency and performance, it is ideal when paired with a heat pump or a boiler set to a lower output temperature.

What does '1167Btu' mean for this radiator?

BTU stands for British Thermal Unit, which is a measure of heat output. 1167Btu indicates the heating capacity of this specific radiator model.

Is the grey finish durable?

The radiator features a high-quality finish designed for durability in a heating environment. Regular cleaning with a soft, damp cloth will help maintain its appearance.

What is the warranty period for the Agadon Rome Aluminium Designer Radiator?

The radiator comes with a 10-year guarantee, providing assurance of its quality and longevity.

Is this radiator suitable for a bathroom?

While suitable for any room, ensure it is installed correctly and away from direct water splashes if used in a bathroom environment. Its aesthetic design makes it a good choice for modern bathrooms.

Troubleshooting

Radiator not heating up evenly

Bleed the radiator to release trapped air. Ensure the lockshield valve is open and balanced correctly within the heating system. Check if a heating water additive has been used as recommended.

Slow heat-up time

Verify compatibility with your heating system's temperature output. Ensure the room is not excessively large for the radiator's BTU output. Check for blockages in the system or radiator.

Leaking connections

Turn off the heating system and isolate the radiator. Tighten the leaking connection. If the leak persists, contact a qualified plumber for repair or replacement of fittings.

Corrosion or scale buildup observed

This may indicate a lack of or ineffective heating water additive. Drain and flush the system, then refill with a quality additive and water. Consult a professional if corrosion is significant.

Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup: Installation should be performed by a qualified professional to ensure correct plumbing and system integration. Ensure the radiator is securely mounted using appropriate wall fixings. It is strongly recommended to add a suitable heating water additive to your central heating system before filling. This additive helps protect the radiator and system components from corrosion and scale buildup, prolonging its lifespan and maintaining efficiency.

Compatibility: This radiator is specifically designed for use with heat pumps and low-temperature heating systems. It is compatible with standard central heating pipework.

Care: To maintain its appearance, clean the radiator periodically with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the finish. Ensure vents and surrounding areas are kept clear of dust and obstructions to maintain optimal airflow and heat output.
