Underfloor heating has been the preferred heating option for most homes and businesses in Five-Ash-Down. This is due to its relatively low price, and how it ensures that air quality and heat are maintained. The heat will be evenly distributed throughout your building. Underfloor heating also gives you more heating coverage from the ground up, without intruding on your living space.
As such, you can make interior design arrangements without the extra factor of heating units. We are sure that your home receives an adequate amount of heat required for comfort, whether you have a Hydronic or electric underfloor heating in place.

And your plumbers may be avoiding the job or worsening the problem. But not us. We provide solutions for every type of underfloor heating, no matter how complex the situation is. We will evaluate your heating problems when we come to your property, to provide you with the proper solution.
You may experience problems with your underfloor heating, but usually only after a long period of use. 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. You may be distressed about the state of your floors when it comes to repairs. But you should know that the majority of underfloor heating issues are above ground.
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. Only the point of repair will be affected, and your floors can be replaced if your underfloor heating requires a solution underneath your floor. Through our many years of repairing underfloor heating, we have come to identify the main issues to include faulty actuators, bad wirings or insulators, pipes locked with air, and unevenly heated parts. Thermostat settings have also been a source of 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. Issues may come up as a result of your system lying dormant. It is also important to understand issues that may occur in the type of underfloor heating you have installed.
Electric underfloor heating is a complete system which comes with electric cables and mats which are installed under your floors. The heating wires will be placed over an insulation board to boost power-efficiency. A thermostat is responsible for adjusting and setting the temperature levels of the electric underfloor heating system. When fitted properly, problems and faults don't occur for years with electric underfloor heating. There are, however, some reasons which may cause them to go faulty. A common issue is an incorrect setting in the thermostat or a faulty thermostat.
Putting in the right settings (you can check the user manual of your system) may get your system working again, but in the instance that they are faulty, you should call in the experts. Another common issue with electric underfloor heating includes problems with cables. An electrician can remedy this in no time. Another issue could lie with the floor sensor probe, and poor installation may be responsible. A technician can simply work to repair it, but if it is too far gone, it will be 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.
Water underfloor heating comes with laid down pipes rather than electric cables and sheets. It is also called Hydronic underfloor heating. Your home is heated by the warm water circulated through these pipes. A thermostat controls the system, and the pipes are connected to a boiler. This system warms up your home according to the type of flooring you have in place. If a problem arises within these systems, rest assured we can fit it effectively.
Issues that are commonly present in hydronic underfloor heating include faulty actuators; wrong thermostat configurations or faulty thermostats; loss of pressure on the system; pipes that are punctured, which can be repaired or fixed by our technicians; or airlocks in pipes. There are a host of other issues which could arise from your wet underfloor heating, but none are impossible for our experts to fix! On the rare occasion that part of your flooring needs to be lifted to perform a repair, rest assured that we'll only be working around the affected spot and your floor can be furnished to look the same again.
