Our repair services are thorough and comprehensive, so rest assured that your underfloor heating will return to full functionality regardless of the challenge. Our professionals will troubleshoot your underfloor heating and ask questions about what you've been witnessing to devise a solution.
While underfloor heating develops faults once in a while, it typically functions without issues for a long period at first. 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. A major source of worry is wondering whether your floors will be damaged when finding and repairing faults. However, most repair works are done without touching your floor.
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. Most underfloor heating comes up with similar issues, namely air locked pipes, actuator issues, faulty or wrong wirings, and several cold spots. Incorrect settings in the thermostat could also cause heating problems. 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. Being idle for so long may cause certain issues to occur. It is also important to understand issues that may occur in the type of underfloor heating you have installed.
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. A thermostat regulates these systems. They can last for a long time without developing issues when they are correctly installed. When they do develop issues, however, this may be down to various factors. A common issue is an incorrect setting in the thermostat or a faulty thermostat.
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. 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. Installation that was not up to standard may lead to the floor sensor probe becoming faulty. A technician can simply work to repair it, but if it is too far gone, it will be replaced. Whatever the issue might be, (as there could be others), trust our proficient underfloor experts to get your electric underfloor heating functioning again.
These systems are also known as Hydronic underfloor heating, and they come with pipes installed under the floor. This system disperses heat through the warm water, which is circulated through the pipes. A boiler, which is controlled by a thermostat, heats up the water. Water underfloor heating warms up your home according to the floor type you have in place. 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. 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. 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.
Your home deserves its heat and comfort, and you shouldn't let a faulty heating system come in the way of that. Mittens Plumbing and Heating can break this barrier and bring the comfort back into your home in Southover. Your underfloor heating repair may require multiple on-site visits to get the right equipment to your location and to get to the root of the issue.
