Alde Heating Servicing, Diagnostics & Repairs

 

Quick Answer

Alde heating systems use a wet, radiator-based system to provide even heating and hot water in caravans and motorhomes. To work safely and efficiently, Alde systems require regular servicing, fluid checks and correct fault diagnosis.

At KamperBitz, Alde heating work is carried out by trained engineers using manufacturer-approved procedures and equipment.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

What Is an Alde Heating System?

An Alde heating system is a liquid-based central heating system, similar in principle to domestic heating. It circulates heated fluid through radiators and convectors to provide consistent warmth and hot water throughout your caravan or motorhome.

Alde systems are known for:

• Quiet operation

• Even heat distribution

• Comfortable living in colder weather

However, they rely on correct fluid condition, circulation and control — and faults can be costly if ignored.

 

Alde Heating Services We Offer

We carry out a full range of Alde heating work, including:

• Alde system diagnostics

• Annual servicing and inspections

• Alde fluid testing and replacement

• Circulation pump checks and replacement

• Control panel and sensor fault finding

• Leak detection and pressure issues

• Heating performance and efficiency problems

All work is explained clearly, with no unnecessary parts or guesswork.

 

Common Alde Heating Problems We See

Alde systems are reliable, but we regularly diagnose issues such as:

• Poor or uneven heating around the vehicle

• Heating working on gas but not electric (or vice versa)

• Cold radiators or airlocks in the system

• Loss of system pressure

• Error codes or control panel faults

• Incorrect or degraded Alde fluid

Early diagnosis can prevent pump damage, internal corrosion and expensive repairs.

 

Why Alde Heating Servicing Is Important

Unlike blown-air heaters, Alde systems rely on heated fluid circulation. Over time, fluid degrades and loses its corrosion protection properties.

Without regular servicing:

• Internal components can corrode

• Pumps and heat exchangers can fail

• Heating efficiency drops significantly

• Repair costs increase

Alde recommend fluid checks and replacement at specified intervals to protect the system and maintain performance.

 

Who Carries Out Your Alde Heating Work?

All Alde heating work is carried out by KamperBitz, an experienced leisure vehicle workshop with knowledge across:

• Caravans

• Motorhomes

• Campervans

We use correct Alde-approved fluids, calibrated test equipment and proven diagnostic methods. All findings are explained in plain English.

 

Alde Heating & Habitation Checks

Alde heating systems form an important part of a habitation check.

During a habitation inspection, we assess:

• Safe operation of the heating system

• Signs of leaks or pressure loss

• Control panel operation

• Ventilation and safety compliance

Any faults are highlighted clearly with recommended next steps.

 

Frequently Asked Questions

How often does Alde heating need servicing?
Alde fluid should be checked regularly and replaced at manufacturer-recommended intervals, depending on fluid type and system age.

 

What happens if Alde fluid isn’t changed?
Old fluid can lose corrosion protection, leading to internal damage and expensive component failure.

 

Why is my Alde heating uneven?
This can be caused by airlocks, circulation pump issues, low fluid levels or incorrect system balance.

 

Can Alde heating work on electric and gas?
Yes. Most Alde systems operate on gas, electric or a combination of both. Faults can affect one mode but not the other.

Do you carry out Alde repairs as well as servicing?
Yes. We diagnose and repair Alde heating faults and will always discuss options before any work is carried out.

 

When Should You Book Alde Heating Work?

You should book if:

• Heating performance has dropped

• Radiators feel cold or uneven

• Error codes are displayed

• Pressure keeps dropping

• It’s been several years since the fluid was changed
