How can I check if my Vasco E-Volve WiFi module is connected to the temperature sensor?

To verify the connection between your E-Volve WiFi module and temperature sensor, open the Vasco Climate Control app and navigate to Settings, then Setup, then E-Volve WiFi. Select your room and open Room Settings to check the sensor connection status.

What does a blinking red LED mean on a Vasco E-Volve controller?

A blinking red LED on a Vasco E-Volve controller indicates that boost mode is active, providing rapid heating to 30°C for one hour. The radiator will automatically exit boost mode after the set duration, or you can cancel it manually by pressing the boost button again.

Why is my Vasco radiator making ticking or gurgling noises?

Ticking or gurgling noises in a Vasco radiator are typically caused by air bubbles trapped in the heating system. Bleed the radiator using a radiator key at the bleed valve until water flows consistently. If noises persist after bleeding, there may be a leak or expansion vessel issue. Contact a qualified heating engineer for inspection.

What does a blinking green LED mean on a Vasco E-Volve controller?

A blinking green LED on a Vasco E-Volve controller indicates frost protection mode is active or open window detection has been triggered. Close any open windows or doors and the radiator will resume normal operation once the temperature stabilises.

Why does my Vasco electric radiator keep heating when the set temperature has been reached?

The radiator's temperature sensor is located at the bottom rear of the unit. If you have underfloor heating, this can warm the sensor area more than the rest of the room, causing the radiator to continue heating despite the RF remote showing the target temperature has been reached. Consider recalibrating the temperature sensor through the settings menu to compensate for this difference.

What does a blinking LED mean on my Vasco E-Volve controller?

Should I turn off underfloor heating when I'm not at home?

No, do not turn underfloor heating off completely when away. Set the thermostat to 14°C for extended absences. Underfloor heating takes on average one to one-and-a-half hours to change temperature by 1°C, so it responds slowly to adjustments.

Can I use underfloor heating for cooling in summer?

Yes, if your heat pump includes a cooling function, cold water can run through the underfloor heating pipes to cool your home. A water temperature of around 18°C is ideal for cooling. Ensure the floor surface temperature remains above the dew point to prevent condensation forming on the floor.

How often should I clean and replace the filters on my Vasco ventilation system?

Clean ventilation filters by vacuuming every three months. Replace filters completely every six months to maintain effectiveness.

What is the ideal room temperature for energy-efficient heating?

The ideal room temperature is between 19 and 22°C. Bathrooms are typically most comfortable at 23-24°C, living rooms at 19-21°C, and bedrooms at around 18°C or lower for optimal sleep.
