Your home can be warmed up in no time because we have the experience, and we are close to you. Underfloor heating has been the preferred heating option for most homes and businesses in High-Cross. This is due to the cost-effectiveness of underfloor heating, how it assists the quality of air and its method of dispersing heat. Every corner of your home will be properly heated, with virtually no areas left out. You also don't have to worry about finding adequate space, as you enjoy warmth at its finest.
This way, you can maximise the space at your disposal for your design plans. Underfloor heating comes in electric, and water variants and both can provide the exact level of heat that you need. These heating systems can still develop faults occasionally due to various factors. This will cause a reduction in heat levels in certain spots. And your plumber or installer may not feel comfortable dealing with your faulty underfloor heating. But not us. We provide solutions for every type of underfloor heating, no matter how complex the situation is. We will come to your property to make an honest evaluation, listen to the struggles you've been having and apprise you of what's wrong and the right steps to take.
Generally speaking, underfloor heating has a long lifespan and will service your home for many years before it starts to display issues. If you have quality underfloor heating in place, be assured that you can reap the reward of years of warmth in your home before the need for repairs begins. 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. 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. There will be minimal disruption to your flooring if we have to make repairs under your floors. 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. If your underfloor heating remains for a long period without being warmed up, some problems may arise. Depending on the type of underfloor heating you have installed, some specific faults may be present.
With electric underfloor heating, electric wires and sheets are fitted underneath your floors. 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. Various elements could be responsible if these systems somehow become problematic. We have noticed that thermostats are of primary concern with most electric underfloor heating.
Effecting the right settings through manual instructions will be sufficient to solve the problem if it's a setting issue. But when the thermostat brakes, it requires the help of a professional. 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.
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. A boiler, which is controlled by a thermostat, heats up the water. Your building's floor type will be a factor in the way your area is heated by hydronic underfloor heating. Their issues can also be fixed by our technicians without any fuss.
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. Whatever the issue, even if they are more challenging than the above problems, they can be handled fully by our excellent technicians. 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.
