With that said, your underfloor heating may come up with one or two faults for various reasons. And they may fail to get some zones heated as a result. Faulty underfloor heating tends to scare off plumbers and even installers. But not us. We repair any kind of underfloor heating, no matter the challenge. Our professionals will troubleshoot your underfloor heating and ask questions about what you've been witnessing to devise a solution.
You may experience problems with your underfloor heating, but usually only after a long period of use. Your home can enjoy a long period of consistent warmth if you fit in underfloor heating which is up to standard. But you'll find that repairs won't be so bad or disruptive, especially when you have the right specialists handling your issues. One of the greatest concerns we have experienced is that the problem might be beneath your floor. On the contrary, only a minority of incidents of repair occur beneath the ground.
If it comes to the worst, thermal imaging equipment will be used in finding the faulty points under your flooring, which will enable our technicians to mark out the exact location of the problem and fix it accordingly. 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. Your thermostat configuration could also be responsible for some of your heating issues. 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. Being idle for so long may cause certain issues to occur. Your underfloor heating may be electric or the hydronic variant. You should get to know which issues will likely come up with each.
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. A thermostat controls the heat output and temperature of electric underfloor heating systems. When fitted properly, problems and faults don't occur for years with electric underfloor heating. When they do develop issues, however, this may be down to various factors. Incorrect settings in an electric underfloor thermostat or a faulty component are commonly the reason behind the issues.
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. Another common issue with electric underfloor heating includes problems with cables. An electrician can remedy this in no time. Poor installation may cause another issue with the floor sensor probe. 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.
Hydronic underfloor heating, as it is more technically known, involves the use of pipes laid beneath your floor. This system disperses heat through the warm water, which is circulated through the pipes. A thermostat controls the system, and the pipes are connected to a boiler. Your flooring will affect how your space is heated by this system. Their faults can be fully repaired by our specialists.
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. There are a host of other issues which could arise from your wet underfloor heating, but none are impossible for our experts to fix! 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.
