How to Repair Underfloor Heating

Underfloor heating is an expensive investment to warm your house and at first glance, you’d think it would be hard to repair since it is under titles and a leveller. However, it is actually fairly simple to replace or repair underfloor heating. The most common problems with underfloor heating and how to fix them are as follows:
The floor sensor may be faulty if the thermostat displays a different reading to what is normal. Most professionals include a second floor sensor as a backup to ensure it isn’t a major job to swap the sensors used by the thermostat. However, if there is no alternative sensor you will have to install a replacement floor sensor by digging into the grout lines and removing a title so you can position it with the underfloor heating mat.
You can identify whether your thermostat is faulty by resetting it to factory settings. If you believe your thermostat is faulty you will need to change it.
Most underfloor heating mat cables are damaged because of carelessness in regards to cutting into the electric cable. However, if you cut the electrical cable you can easily identify the location of the damage so you can quickly fix it with a repair kit.
