Alde control panel

Yes I believe that you can. 

Thanks Boff.

Think the next 'van will have Alde

Can you combine electricity and gas for a faster warm up?

The Alde instruction book says you certainly can, but we've yet to try it.

TBH. I am not sure how you do it.   We can set a priority so naturally I set electricity as the first choice. In reality we are normally without ehu so it can't select electric because there isn't any!   If we are on ehu I am not sure if it gives a  full 8kW power, 3 electric plus 5 gas.  We only got Alde heating last year and the winter was pretty mild so not a big test.  I was concerned about heat up time but it doesn't seem to be an issue in our van. 

You can get the Alde manual online if you are interested. 

At the control panel you simply select electric ON and gas to ON at the same time. Then when things are warm enough you can deselect either or both.   I occasionally do this just for a few mins to make sure both are working in tandem.  

You can run the system on both electric and gas this will equate to approx 8.5kw of heating power, however once the system is up to temperature it will default to run on 240v if it is available.
