Generally speaking, underfloor heating has a long lifespan and will service your home for many years before it starts to display issues. Quality underfloor heating will last for a long time before problems begin to occur. But you'll find that repairs won't be so bad or disruptive, especially when you have the right specialists handling your issues. Most homeowners tend to fret over the idea that their floors will need to come apart during repairs. However, most repair works are done without touching your floor.
If your underfloor heating has a fault beneath your floors, the root of the problem will be accurately located via our thermal imaging equipment. Whenever it comes to repairing parts which are located under your floors, you shouldn't fret, because the flooring won't be torn up as you might think. Common issues with underfloor heating which we have recognised over the years include faulty actuators, bad cables and wiring, air locked and worn-out pipes, and some areas lacking heat. Incorrect settings in the thermostat could also cause heating problems. It is advised that you power up your heating system during warm seasons like summer, where you don't really have the need for your underfloor heating, as a precautionary measure. Being idle for so long may cause certain issues to occur. It is also important to understand issues that may occur in the type of underfloor heating you have installed.
Electric underfloor heating goes below your floors. It comes with electric cables and electric mats. They consist of insulation boards which serve as underlayers to the electric heating cables. A thermostat regulates these systems. When fitted properly, problems and faults don't occur for years with electric underfloor heating. When they do develop issues, however, this may be down to various factors. A common issue is an incorrect setting in the thermostat or a faulty thermostat.
Your heating system could start running again if you input the appropriate settings. If the thermostat has gone faulty, however, you need the aid of a technician. Another common issue with electric underfloor heating includes problems with cables. An electrician can remedy this in no time. Poor installation may cause another issue with the floor sensor probe. Getting this issue solved is a simple case of fitting a new sensor probe. Our technicians can get your electric underfloor heating functioning again if any of these issues, or others, come up.
Hydronic underfloor heating, as it is more technically known, involves the use of pipes laid beneath your floor. Warm water goes around these pipes to heat up your home. A central boiler is responsible for getting the water warm, whilst a thermostat regulates the heat. Your building's floor type will be a factor in the way your area is heated by hydronic underfloor heating. If a problem arises within these systems, rest assured we can fit it effectively.
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.

Repairing a faulty component beneath your floor doesn't necessarily entail tearing it up to bring out the entire system. We will simply work to get it fixed at the precise location of the problem.
