Is Your Radiant Heat System Acting Up? Look for These Signs:

Recognizing the early indicators of a problem with your radiant heating system can prevent minor issues from escalating into major repairs. If you notice any of the following signs, it's time to seek professional attention:

1. Cold Spots or Uneven Heating: This is a common indicator that a specific zone or section of your radiant system isn't functioning correctly, leading to inconsistent temperatures across your floors or walls.
2. No Heat Production: If your system fails to produce any warmth, it could signal issues with the boiler, pump, electrical supply, or a complete system shutdown.
3. Visible Leaks or Water Damage: For hydronic (water-based) radiant systems, visible moisture, puddles, or water stains near manifolds or under flooring are clear signs of a leak that requires immediate attention.
4. Strange Noises: Gurgling, banging, ticking, or bubbling sounds emanating from your walls or floors can indicate air in the lines, pump issues, or other internal system problems.
5. Unexplained High Energy Bills: A sudden increase in your energy consumption without a change in usage habits might mean your radiant system is operating inefficiently due to an underlying malfunction.
6. Thermostat Malfunctions: If your thermostat isn't accurately reading temperatures, responding to settings, or controlling the system's operation, it can lead to discomfort and wasted energy.
7. System Not Turning On/Off: A system that runs continuously or fails to activate when needed points to control or electrical issues.

Early detection and professional intervention are key to maintaining your system's efficiency and prolonging its lifespan. Regular care through a comprehensive Maintenance Plan can also help prevent many of these issues.

When is it Time for Radiant Heating Replacement?

While most common radiant heating issues can be effectively repaired, there are instances where replacement might be a more cost-effective long-term solution. This typically applies to very old systems nearing the end of their lifespan, systems with extensive, irreparable damage (like widespread pipe corrosion), or those experiencing frequent, costly breakdowns. Our technicians can assess your system's condition and help you determine whether repair or replacement is the best course of action. If replacement is recommended, we can guide you through options for new Heating Systems.

Your Questions About Radiant Heating Repair, Answered.

How much does it cost to fix radiant heat in Aurora, CO?

The cost of radiant heating repair varies widely depending on several factors: the type of system (hydronic or electric), the complexity and severity of the problem, the specific parts required for the repair, and the labor time involved. During our diagnostic process, our technicians will provide a clear explanation of the issue and a detailed estimate for the repair. We do not charge trip fees, so you only pay for the work performed.

What is the life expectancy of a radiant heating system?

The lifespan of a radiant heating system can vary. Hydronic (water-based) systems, particularly the PEX tubing used in floors, can last 50 years or more with proper installation and maintenance. The boiler or water heater component typically has a lifespan of 15-20 years. Electric radiant heating mats generally have a lifespan of 20-25 years. Regular maintenance is crucial in maximizing the longevity of both types of systems.

Can radiant heat be repaired, or does it always need replacement?

In most cases, radiant heating systems can be effectively repaired. Common issues like cold spots, minor leaks, pump failures, or thermostat problems are highly repairable. Replacement is usually only considered for very old systems that are inefficient, have widespread irreparable damage (e.g., extensive tubing damage in concrete), or require frequent, costly repairs that make replacement more economical in the long run.

How long does a typical radiant heating repair take?

The duration of a radiant heating repair depends entirely on the nature and complexity of the problem. Simple fixes like purging air from lines or replacing a thermostat might take an hour or two. More complex issues, such as leak detection and repair in hydronic systems, or extensive electrical diagnostics for electric systems, could require several hours or even a full day. Our technicians will provide an estimated timeframe after diagnosing the issue.

What should I do if my radiant heating isn't working?

If your radiant heating system isn't working, first check your thermostat settings to ensure it's set correctly. For electric systems, check your circuit breaker panel for any tripped breakers. If these simple checks don't resolve the issue, it's best to avoid attempting complex repairs yourself due to the specialized nature of these systems.
