Why can't I find tekmar products in the store?
Answer: Because many tekmar products require specialized installer training, they are only available through heating supply companies.
I have a tekmar control in the mechanical room. Can I still use the same control if I replace the boiler or change the fuel source in the future?
Answer: In many instances, yes. An exception would be if the replacement boiler was a modulating type and the original control operated a non-modulating boiler.
Will I need to call the installer every time I want to change the settings on my control or thermostat?
Answer: For thermostats and setpoint controls you can change many settings yourself. If you are unsure of the reason for a setting or don't know how to adjust it, the User Brochures in the literature section of this web site can help you. For mechanical room controls, it is important that you do not change settings unless you are sure of their purpose.
Will I notice any changes in comfort after having a control system installed?
Answer: You may notice that temperature swings are eliminated.
Will I notice any changes in energy consumption after having a control system installed?
Answer: You should notice reduced fuel consumption primarily during the fall and spring seasons. A study done by the Center for Energy and Environment in St.Paul, MN found savings that ranged from 10 to 25% in systems retrofitted with boiler reset controls.
I think there may be something wrong with a control in my building. What can I do?
Answer: The best option is to contact the contractor that originally installed the control system. If that is not possible, the next step would be to contact your local tekmar representative for assistance and / or a recommendation to a contractor in your area that has had training for tekmar products.
I have a tekmar control in my house and would like to find out what it is for. Where should I look?
Answer: First, check the control for the three-digit product number. They are printed on the front of mechanical control labels. Digital display thermostats and tN4 controls have a setting in their Miscellaneous Menu that will tell you their product type number. You may also find product numbers for thermostats on the back or inside a flip-open compartment. Once you determine the control number, refer to the products section of this web site. If you can not find the control there, try the discontinued literature section.
