Underfloor heating typically consists of a system that pumps hot water through pipes under the floor, or a network of electrical wires, which must be installed by a qualified electrician. It can be installed throughout the house, even in bathrooms, and is safe, silent, and hypoallergenic because it does not use any fans to distribute the heat.
The systems do have to be professionally installed, so it is wise to have it done when you are building a new house, or doing some renovations, but they can also be installed in existing homes without underfloor heating.
Electric underfloor heating is generally very reliable, but when something breaks or malfunctions, it can be difficult and expensive to repair, especially if you don't get the right person for the job. Any electric underfloor heating repairs should only be carried out by certified and experienced electricians.
Some underfloor heating systems are much more accessible than others and each system has a unique set of potential issues. When electric underfloor heating repairs are performed by qualified electricians, it may be necessary to lift carpets, break ...
... or cut tiles, or even break cement floors - all depending on the problem and where it is located.
Although underfloor heating is an expensive way of heating your home, it is a great way of distributing heat throughout the house. However, these systems can malfunction due to many reasons, or they could stop working altogether or fail to distribute heat uniformly across your home's rooms. If you are experiencing any problems with your underfloor heating system, it is always better to ask a qualified electrician to take a look at the problem and to first provide you with a quote for electric underfloor heating repairs, so that you know what to expect in terms of repair costs.
Also, keep in mind that electric underfloor heating systems use the floor as a radiator to distribute heat around the room. The system may not be able to transfer or disperse heat throughout the house effectively if there are many items or objects on the floor. For instance, the heat distribution may be negatively impacted by thick carpets, large pieces of soft furniture on the floor, as well as a lot of heavy furniture like bookshelves, stacks of books, and mattresses. An electric underfloor heating system is probably not the best option for you if your home is always disorganised with items lying around everywhere and you may want to think about having a different heating system installed.
It is very important to understand that even though you might consider yourself a DIY expert at home and think you can handle any type of repairs on your own to save some money, there are no cutting corners, simply because electric underfloor heating repairs are something entirely different. It is advised that you contact a qualified electrician for this type of repair instead, as electrical hazards like shock injuries and electrical fires can actually happen.
With the chilly European winter months just around the corner, now is a good time to have your electrical underfloor heating system properly checked by a professional electrician, to ensure there are no potential issues, and to ensure your system is fully functional and that it will heat your home properly this winter.
The Internet is typically a great place to start if you don't know where to find an electrician that specialises in electric underfloor heating repairs, but make sure you carefully weigh your options by comparing services and prices. Read some online reviews too, to find out what other clients have to say about a particular company and the services they provide. When it comes to important decisions like these, you need to make an informed one.
