With that said, your underfloor heating may come up with one or two faults for various reasons. This will cause a reduction in heat levels in certain spots.

Our professionals will troubleshoot your underfloor heating and ask questions about what you've been witnessing to devise a solution.
Underfloor heating is generally quite reliable and will serve you for a long time before it begins to struggle. You may not require repairs for many years if you have a quality system installed. 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. But you should understand that more than 90% of repairs go on above 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. If a replacement or repair is to be made beneath your floor, only the affected point will be targeted. 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. 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. Water and electric underfloor heating often come with separate issues, and you should be conversant with them.
Electric underfloor heating comes with electric cables or sheets which are laid under or within your floor. 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. 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. The thermostat is usually a commonplace to look. It may be faulty or have the wrong configuration.
A configuration issue can be solved by inputting the correct settings from the manual. But a faulty thermostat will require the help of a repairman. 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. Poor installation may cause another issue with the floor sensor probe. 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.
Commonly called Hydronic underfloor heating, these systems comprise the use of pipes under your floors. This system disperses heat through the warm water, which is circulated through the pipes. They are connected to a central boiler and controlled by a thermostat. This system warms up your home according to the type of flooring you have in place. Our repairers can also fix any kind of issues with these systems.
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. Your floors won't be excessively torn apart, even if we have to fix an issue below ground. Only the affected floor region will be lifted and then replaced.
