If you’ve read any of our previous articles, we often note that while being easy to install, Electric Underfloor Heating fortunately also has very minimal upkeep after the initial installation has taken place. Inevitably, problems do occur, so let’s take over some potential Electric Underfloor Heating problems and how you can solve them.

Simple – it won’t turn on or off

If your UFH system won’t turn off or it isn’t warming up properly then it could be a thermostat or wiring issues – check your stat and make sure that floor probe or sensor is working and properly connected to the thermostat itself.

If both seem fine – then give your local electrician a call.

Temperature Issues

If your Electric UFH system is not warm enough, check your thermostat settings or check the systems power output. If you have poor insulation in your home, this also may be an issue. Ideally you should ensure your home insulation is up to scratch before installing your Electric UFH system.

Cable Conundrum

If you think you’ve cut or damaged the cabling by accident – give us a call 0141 459 3141 and we can put you in touch with the system manufacturer and they can guide you on what you need to do next.

Installer Error

Most Electric Underfloor Heating Kits can be installed manually without the need for an electrician – but issues can occur – so if you have any questions, get in touch with your local electrician and he’ll be able to help take a closer look at your Electric Underfloor Heating problems.

Help – It’s not as cheap as I thought

Water Underfloor Heating can be more cost effective but if you find your Electric UFH system is costing more than you envisaged, then check your thermostat program settings, airflow or insulation first before panicking – remember you don’t need to set your thermostat too high – a few degrees reduction will keep your home warm and will also save you money as well.
