Underfloor heating comes in electric, and water variants and both can provide the exact level of heat that you need.

While underfloor heating develops faults once in a while, it typically functions without issues for a long period at first. 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. But most underfloor heating evaluations and repairs happen on the surface.
In extreme cases, our technicians will use sophisticated thermal imaging devices to pinpoint the exact spot that is faulty. 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. 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. Leaving your heating systems off for a long period may cause valves and pipes to stick. Water and electric underfloor heating often come with separate issues, and you should be conversant with them.
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. These systems are controlled by a thermostat. When fitted properly, problems and faults don't occur for years with electric underfloor heating. But when they aren't producing enough heat or are completely faulty, several factors may be responsible. The thermostat is usually a commonplace to look. It may be faulty or have the wrong configuration.
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. Faulty wirings, which can be simply fixed by a competent electrician, can be an issue. If the installation of your electric underfloor heating is done improperly, the floor sensor probe may be damaged. A new sensor probe can be installed to get things back in order. If you experience any of these issues or others, trust our capable repairmen to get your home heated up again as soon as possible.
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 thermostat controls the system, and the pipes are connected to a boiler. Water underfloor heating warms up your home according to the floor type you have in place. 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. Other complex issues may arise, but rest assured that our technicians can solve any issue concerning water underfloor heating.
