Electric floor heating is a great way to keep your feet warm and toasty in the winter. However, if your electric floor heating stops working, it can be a real pain. If you’re having trouble with your electric floor heating, you may be tempted to try and repair it yourself, however you should never attempt to alter a complex electrical system without experience. As a result, it is recommended to always hire a licensed electrical contractor to assist in completing the work, and ensuring it is done correctly.
Before attempting to fix or repair your floor heating system:
Check the thermostat display, settings and any error message without opening electrical equipment. Do not open the thermostat, handle wiring or repeatedly reset a tripping breaker. If the system trips, shows damage or is not operating normally, stop using it and contact a licensed electrical contractor.
If you are unable to locate the source of the issue, the next step is to contact a licensed electrical contractor to fix the problem.
What are the next steps?
With the assistance of an electrician, you may be able to look underneath the flooring to find out what’s going on. The most common problem is a thermostat that needs to be replaced. Electrical issues are frequently challenging to fix, so getting professional advice is crucial. 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.
We use professional testing equipment to assess the thermostat, sensor and heating circuit. If access beneath the floor is needed, we aim to lift as little tile as possible. The repair approach and extent of access depend on the system, fault and floor construction; we discuss the findings and options before proceeding.
