More and more families in London and nearby areas, as well as commercial properties, are choosing underfloor heating as a means to heat their home or business.

Underfloor heating means you can arrange your furniture in any way you please. And your home or business will be warmed from the ground up. You will notice fewer cold spots and a more evenly heated area. Whether you choose wet or electric underfloor heating, this type of heating system is efficient and quite reliable. However, problems with your system may occur from time to time and wet or electric underfloor heating repairs will need to be made.

Understanding Your Underfloor Heating System

When dealing with underfloor heating repairs in London, you should know what type of system you have. Our underfloor heating engineers help to understand these details. Many families have wet, or hydroponic, underfloor heating systems. This means that a series of pipes are laid under the floor. These pipes are connected to the boiler, allowing warm water to circulate evenly under the floor. Wet underfloor heating can be installed under several different types of flooring. But how quickly your floor heats up will depend on the type of flooring you have.

Dry or Electric underfloor heating repair requires electric wires to be laid under or within the floor. As per the underfloor heating engineers, electric underfloor heating is much lower profile than wet heating systems. Since it doesn’t add much height to the floor. Electric heating systems work in both small, oddly shaped areas using loose-fitting, flexible wiring. Or can also work in large areas using electric cable systems and heating mats. Electric underfloor systems don’t require a gas connection and may be a bit more costly than gas-heated water systems. But they are much cheaper than oil or LPG heated homes.

Both wet or electric underfloor heating systems are economical and efficient, but it’s not unheard of problems to arise.

No Need To Worry!

When you have an underfloor heating system installed, a precautionary measure you can take is to simply run the system for about half an hour each month during the summer. When the weather is warm, it’s easy to forget to maintain and repair your underfloor heating system. However, remembering to run it every once in a while will reduce the risk of circulating pumps and valves sticking. However, if a problem with your underfloor heating system occurs, there are a few things you can look for before resorting to calling underfloor heating engineers in and around London.

Be reassured that more often than not, the problem is not under your floor and can often be fixed without damage to your flooring. Some of the problems that may occur include wiring issues, air-locked pipes, worn-out pumps, or perhaps unevenly heated zones. The first thing to check is your thermostat. The possibility exists that the settings may have been upset. Perhaps by a power outage and your thermostat may need to be adjusted to above an ambient temperature or reset to factory settings. The same thing applies to any timers or programmers you may use for your underfloor heating system.

If you notice a problem with your underfloor heating system, you might also check the fuses and make sure everything is working properly. You can also check the hot water supply to be sure that hot water from the boiler is available for your wet underfloor heating system. However, if you have checked these things, but are still noticing a problem, contact our underfloor heating engineers in London.
