Underfloor heating can function for a long time before issues begin to arise. If you have quality underfloor heating in place, be assured that you can reap the reward of years of warmth in your home before the need for repairs begins. But you'll find that repairs won't be so bad or disruptive, especially when you have the right specialists handling your issues.

When it comes to underground situations, we will apply the use of advanced thermal imaging gadgets to locate the position of the issue. If a replacement or repair is to be made beneath your floor, only the affected point will be targeted. We have fixed underfloor heating for many years and have discovered that most of the issues lie in bad wiring, faulty actuators, worn out and air-locked pipes, as well as unevenly warmed up zones. Your thermostat configuration could also be responsible for some of your heating issues. During the summer, make sure to run your underfloor heating once in a while to get water circulated throughout the pipes. If your underfloor heating remains for a long period without being warmed up, some problems may arise. It is also important to understand issues that may occur in the type of underfloor heating you have installed.
Electric underfloor heating comes with electric cables or sheets which are laid under or within your floor. Insulation boards are normally set beneath the heating cables to ensure that the system will be energy-efficient. A thermostat controls the heat output and temperature of electric underfloor heating systems. These underfloor systems lack problems for a long time after installation, particularly when they have been installed to a high standard. Various elements could be responsible if these systems somehow become problematic. A common issue is an incorrect setting in the thermostat or a faulty thermostat.
A technician can help with a faulty thermostat, but you can input the correct configurations with the help of the manual. The heating cable could be damaged or cut during installation, in which case our technicians will simply fix the issue with a heat shrink or by using straight-through crimps when they identify the issue. If the installation of your electric underfloor heating is done improperly, the floor sensor probe may be damaged. It could be repaired by a specialist or replaced. Your home can be back to its comfortable state in no time if you experience any of these issues or some others not stated here.
Commonly called Hydronic underfloor heating, these systems comprise the use of pipes under your floors. This system disperses heat through the warm water, which is circulated through the pipes. They are connected to a central boiler and controlled by a thermostat. The type of floor that you have in your building determines how this system warms up your rooms. Their issues can also be fixed by our technicians without any fuss.
Common problems associated with wet underfloor heating include airlocks in pipes, which can be fixed by re-pressuring the system; punctured pipes, where our repairmen can replace the pipe for you; faulty actuators; problematic thermostats or incorrect thermostat settings; and pressure loss in the system. Your system can return to normal in a timely fashion, even if it is plagued by a type of problem which is not mentioned here. If the issue which needs fixing happens to be below your floor, you don't have to worry, because we will only be working around the affected area and only minimal floor repairs will be required.
