Floor heating not heating can be due to a number of reasons, here are some possible solutions:
Insufficient pipe pressure: If the pressure in the underfloor heating pipe is insufficient, it may lead to poor water circulation, which will affect the heating effect. In this case, you can contact the heating company or property to deal with it, and if the problem is still not resolved, you can consider installing a circulating pump to improve the hot water circulation.
Gas in the pipes: If there is gas in the floor heating pipes, it will block the circulation of hot water, resulting in the floor heating not being hot. At this time, you can open the air release valve on the water separator and exhaust the gas in the pipe until the hot water is released.
Clogged filter: If the filter screen of the floor heating is clogged with impurities, it will affect the flow of hot water, resulting in the floor heating not being hot. In this case, you can open the filter with a live wrench, clean it and reinstall it, or contact a professional to clean it.
Floor heating pipe cleaning: Regular cleaning of floor heating pipes can remove dirt and impurities in the pipes and improve the hot water flow effect. You can use a professional floor heating cleaner and operate according to the requirements of the instructions.
Adjust the underfloor heating system settings: Sometimes, the underfloor heating is not hot due to the improper system settings. You can try to adjust the settings of the underfloor heating system, such as increasing the temperature of the water supply, increasing the power of the circulating pump, etc., to improve the heating effect.
Check the flooring material: The thermal conductivity of the flooring material will also affect the heating effect of the underfloor heating. If the thermal conductivity of the flooring material is poor, it may result in the underfloor heating not being hot. When choosing a flooring material, you should choose a material with good thermal conductivity.
Increase indoor thermal insulation measures: Increasing indoor thermal insulation measures, such as curtains, carpets, etc., can reduce heat loss and improve the heating effect of floor heating.
If none of the above methods can solve the problem, it is recommended to contact a professional for inspection and repair. They can identify the problem on a case-by-case basis and take appropriate action to fix it. In the process of solving the problem, it is necessary to pay attention to follow the operating procedures of the underfloor heating system to avoid damage to the system. At the same time, regular maintenance of the underfloor heating system can extend the service life of the system and ensure the comfort of the indoor environment.
If you've tried all of the above and the floor heating still isn't hot, then there may be a deeper problem. In this case, it is recommended that you take the following actions:
Contact a maintenance professionalDue to the complexity of the underfloor heating system, specialized skills and tools may be required to diagnose the problem. Contact an experienced underfloor heating repairer to have them perform a comprehensive inspection and diagnosis of the system.
Check the heating system: Make sure that the entire heating system, including boilers, pipes, water separators, etc., is working properly. Sometimes, the problem can be with other parts of the heating system, not just the underfloor heating itself.
Check the insulation of the room: Make sure that the room is well insulated and that there is no excessive heat loss. If the room is not well insulated, it may not feel warm enough, even if the underfloor heating system is working properly.
Consider system upgrades: If your underfloor heating system has been in use for a long time, or if the design of the system itself is flawed, then you may want to consider upgrading or replacing your system.
Check the heat source: Make sure that the heat source (such as a boiler or heat pump) is working properly and that enough heat is generated for the entire underfloor heating system.
In conclusion, if none of the above common methods solve the problem, then it may be necessary to take a deeper understanding of the specifics of the underfloor heating system and take appropriate measures. In this case, working with a professional repairer is the most sensible option.
