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 repairing your system when the need calls for it, through the right experts, will ensure that you continue to enjoy your warmth and comfort. A major source of worry is wondering whether your floors will be damaged when finding and repairing faults. But you should know that the majority of underfloor heating issues are above ground.
In the case that the issue is coming from under your floors, the precise location of the fault will be pinpointed by our thermal imaging equipment. If a replacement or repair is to be made beneath your floor, only the affected point will be targeted. Through our many years of repairing underfloor heating, we have come to identify the main issues to include faulty actuators, bad wirings or insulators, pipes locked with air, and unevenly heated parts. Sometimes, there may be issues with the configuration on your thermostat, or other timing or programming equipment you have in place. A common practice of precaution, which you should always engage in, is to turn up your underfloor heating intermittently during summer. Issues may come up as a result of your system lying dormant. Your underfloor heating may be electric or the hydronic variant. You should get to know which issues will likely come up with each.
Electric underfloor heating comes with electric cables or sheets which are laid under or within your floor. The heating wires will be placed over an insulation board to boost power-efficiency. These systems are controlled by a thermostat. When installed correctly, electric underfloor heating can last for a long time without developing issues. There are, however, some reasons which may cause them to go faulty. Incorrect settings in an electric underfloor thermostat or a faulty component are commonly the reason behind the issues.
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. Getting this issue solved is a simple case of fitting a new sensor probe. Your home can be back to its comfortable state in no time if you experience any of these issues or some others not stated here.
Hydronic underfloor heating, as it is more technically known, involves the use of pipes laid beneath your floor. These pipes are responsible for circulating warm water around your home evenly. A central boiler is responsible for getting the water warm, whilst a thermostat regulates the heat. 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.
Issues that are commonly present in hydronic underfloor heating include faulty actuators; wrong thermostat configurations or faulty thermostats; loss of pressure on the system; pipes that are punctured, which can be repaired or fixed by our technicians; or airlocks in pipes. Your system can return to normal in a timely fashion, even if it is plagued by a type of problem which is not mentioned here. On the rare occasion that part of your flooring needs to be lifted to perform a repair, rest assured that we'll only be working around the affected spot and your floor can be furnished to look the same again.
