If your underfloor heating has a fault beneath your floors, the root of the problem will be accurately located via our thermal imaging equipment. If a replacement or repair is to be made beneath your floor, only the affected point will be targeted. In our experience, we have found that issues with underfloor heating systems tend to consist of faulty wirings, problematic actuators, worn-out pumps, air-locked pipes, and most times, unevenly heated areas. Sometimes, there may be issues with the configuration on your thermostat, or other timing or programming equipment you have in place. 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. You should do this to avoid faults developing in your underfloor heating. 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. The cables are normally laid on an insulation board to improve energy efficiency. These systems are controlled by a thermostat. When fitted properly, problems and faults don't occur for years with electric underfloor heating. In the instance that they exhibit issues, however, some underlying causes could be at play. 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. 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. The floor sensor probe could be faulty as a result of poor installation. It could be repaired by a specialist or replaced. 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. These pipes are responsible for circulating warm water around your home evenly. They are connected to a central boiler and controlled by a thermostat. Your building's floor type will be a factor in the way your area is heated by hydronic underfloor heating. Our repairers can also fix any kind of issues with these systems.
Your water underfloor heating could be faced with actuator issues, air-locked or bleeding pipes, thermostats with wrong settings or faults, or a system that has lost its pressure.
