Is Your Alde Heating System Ready for Winter?

As the colder months roll in, it’s essential to ensure your Alde heating system is properly protected and ready to perform—especially when chilly nights arrive or you fire it up for the first time this year.

Your Alde system uses glycol (antifreeze) to function correctly. Like the coolant in a car, it needs changing at regular intervals to avoid costly damage. Here’s what you need to know:

Common Questions

How often should the coolant be changed?

• Blue coolant: Change every 2 years
• Pink or purple coolant: Change every 5 years

These timeframes relate to how long the corrosion inhibitors remain effective. Once they break down, your system is at risk of internal corrosion and component failure.

Will my service provider have changed the coolant already?

Coolant replacement isn’t always part of a standard service. Your provider should inform you if it’s needed, as it typically involves an additional charge.

I have a new caravan – when should I change the coolant?

Most UK caravans come with 2-year coolant as standard. If your caravan was purchased in or before January 2015, it’s likely due or overdue for a change.

Will I need to change it every 2 years?

Not necessarily. At CJ Mobile Caravan Services, we use long-life coolant that provides up to 5 years of protection, giving you peace of mind and added resale value.

What happens if I skip the coolant change?

Neglecting a coolant change can lead to:

Corrosion of internal components
Degraded or split pipes
Reduced pump performance
In severe cases, boiler or heating element failure—which can be costly to replace.
