When it comes to underground situations, we will apply the use of advanced thermal imaging gadgets to locate the position of the issue. 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. Sometimes, there may be issues with the configuration on your thermostat, or other timing or programming equipment you have in place. A preventive measure for faults, which you should always put in practice, is to ensure that you run your underfloor heating from time to time during seasons where you don't need them, for instance, summer. Issues may come up as a result of your system lying dormant. 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 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. These systems are controlled by a thermostat. They can last for a long time without developing issues when they are correctly installed. There are, however, some reasons which may cause them to go faulty. Incorrect settings in an electric underfloor thermostat or a faulty component are commonly the reason behind the issues.
A configuration issue can be solved by inputting the correct settings from the manual. But a faulty thermostat will require the help of a repairman. 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. Another issue could lie with the floor sensor probe, and poor installation may be responsible. A new sensor probe can be installed to get things back in order. 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.
Water underfloor heating comes with laid down pipes rather than electric cables and sheets. It is also called Hydronic underfloor heating. This system disperses heat through the warm water, which is circulated through the pipes. The pipes are connected to a single boiler, and the temperature is controlled by a thermostat. The type of floor that you have in your building determines how this system warms up your rooms. If a problem arises within these systems, rest assured we can fit it effectively.
The pipes in the system could get punctured or locked by air, the actuator could develop a fault, the system may lose pressure, or the thermostat may be faulty or wrongly configured. Other issues may be responsible for your heating system, not producing adequate heat or not working at all. Nevertheless, our experts are always up to the task. In the worst-case scenario where an issue needs to be rectified beneath your floor, be confident that we will only raise the exact point of the fault and your floor can be repaired to look as it was.
