Generally speaking, underfloor heating has a long lifespan and will service your home for many years before it starts to display issues. 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.
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 there's a need to fix an underground issue, rest assured that the floor repairs required will be minimal. 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. A common practice of precaution, which you should always engage in, is to turn up your underfloor heating intermittently during summer. You should do this to avoid faults developing in your underfloor heating. Water and electric underfloor heating often come with separate issues, and you should be conversant with them.
Electric underfloor heating consists of laying electric heating sheets or electric cables within or beneath 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 installed correctly, electric underfloor heating can last for a long time without developing issues. In the instance that they exhibit issues, however, some underlying causes could be at play. The thermostat is usually a commonplace to look. It may be faulty or have the wrong configuration.
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. If the installation of your electric underfloor heating is done improperly, the floor sensor probe may be damaged. A technician can simply work to repair it, but if it is too far gone, it will be replaced. 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. Warm water goes around these pipes to heat up your home. A boiler, which is controlled by a thermostat, heats up the water. Your building's floor type will be a factor in the way your area is heated by hydronic underfloor heating. 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.
You shouldn't allow an issue that can be easily resolved to keep your home in a state of discomfort.
