Electric Floor Heating Repair, Toronto
Electric flooring is great for homeowners trying to stay warm and comfortable during the winter. If you’re having problems with your electric floor heating, it’s best to call in a professional. When you hire a licensed electrical contractor, you can expect the job to be done safely and up to code. Licensed electrical contractors are always up-to-date on the latest electrical safety standards, and are required by law to follow the Electrical Safety Authority’s (ESA) code, which is the national standard for electrical safety.
A licensed electrician can get to the root of any issues with your electric floor heating system. There may be many reasons why your floor heating has stopped working, such as a blown fuse/circuit or faulty wiring. Luckily, repairing an electric floor heating system is quite straightforward and should be an uncomplicated project for your electrician; the only difficult part may be finding and diagnosing which component of the floor heating system needs to be repaired.
The most common issue is a short that happens as a result of wire damage. A useful tool called a TDR (Time Domain Reflectometer) meter may be used to diagnose problems with the floor heating system without removing the entire floor. If there is a short or break in the electric floor heating system, it can be located with this gadget. The electrician will decide whether to replace the full run of wiring or whether to fix the current lines. The issue at hand and the kind of system you have will determine how to fix your broken floor heating system.
