While underfloor heating develops faults once in a while, it typically functions without issues for a long period at first. This is especially true if you are utilising a quality heating system. But you'll find that repairs won't be so bad or disruptive, especially when you have the right specialists handling your issues. One of the greatest concerns we have experienced is that the problem might be beneath your floor. However, most repair works are done without touching your floor.
If it comes to the worst, thermal imaging equipment will be used in finding the faulty points under your flooring, which will enable our technicians to mark out the exact location of the problem and fix it accordingly. If a replacement or repair is to be made beneath your floor, only the affected point will be targeted. Most underfloor heating comes up with similar issues, namely air locked pipes, actuator issues, faulty or wrong wirings, and several cold spots. Incorrect settings in the thermostat could also cause heating problems. You should try your best to switch on your underfloor heating periodically during the summer. You should do this to avoid faults developing in your underfloor heating. Your underfloor heating may be electric or the hydronic variant. You should get to know which issues will likely come up with each.
Electric underfloor heating comes with electric cables or sheets which are laid under or within your floor. The cables always come installed on an insulation board to utilise energy efficiently. A thermostat regulates these systems. Electric underfloor heating normally has a long lifespan, absent of problems, when their installations are perfectly done. In the instance that they exhibit issues, however, some underlying causes could be at play. Incorrect settings in an electric underfloor thermostat or a faulty component are commonly the reason behind the issues.
A technician can help with a faulty thermostat, but you can input the correct configurations with the help of the manual. One or more wires may be cut or damaged when your system is being installed. This issue can be fixed by connecting the wires again with the proper equipment. Installation that was not up to standard may lead to the floor sensor probe becoming faulty. In the instance that it needs replacement, this can be done in no time by a qualified specialist. Our experts are highly trained to get your electric underfloor heating back to normal if any of these faults, and others not mentioned here, occur.
With water underfloor heating, pipes, rather than cables or wires and insulators, are fitted under the floors. These pipes are responsible for circulating warm water around your home evenly. The pipes are connected to a single boiler, and the temperature is controlled by a thermostat. Water underfloor heating warms up your home according to the floor type you have in place. Problems that occur with this system can also be solved proficiently by our professionals.
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.
