But underfloor heating can be problematic, especially after long term use with less maintenance. Your heating system may be struggling to warm up your floors and get certain areas heated.

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. On the contrary, only a minority of incidents of repair occur beneath the ground.
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. We have fixed underfloor heating for many years and have discovered that most of the issues lie in bad wiring, faulty actuators, worn out and air-locked pipes, as well as unevenly warmed up zones. Your thermostat configuration could also be responsible for some of your heating issues. You should try your best to switch on your underfloor heating periodically during the summer. Being idle for so long may cause certain issues to occur. Depending on the type of underfloor heating you have installed, some specific faults may be present.
Electric underfloor heating comes with electric cables or sheets which are laid under or within your floor. Insulation boards are normally set beneath the heating cables to ensure that the system will be energy-efficient. A thermostat controls the heat output and temperature of electric underfloor heating systems. Electric underfloor heating normally has a long lifespan, absent of problems, when their installations are perfectly done. When they do develop issues, however, this may be down to various factors. We have noticed that thermostats are of primary concern with most electric underfloor heating.
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. 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. The floor sensor probe could be faulty as a result of poor installation. In the instance that it needs replacement, this can be done in no time by a qualified specialist. Our technicians can get your electric underfloor heating functioning again if any of these issues, or others, come up.
Commonly called Hydronic underfloor heating, these systems comprise the use of pipes under your floors. Your home is heated by the warm water circulated through these pipes. 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. 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. If the issue which needs fixing happens to be below your floor, you don't have to worry, because we will only be working around the affected area and only minimal floor repairs will be required.
