Guarantees for Underfloor Heating
Author: dpinning // Category: DIY Tips, Heating, Underfloor HeatingUnderfloor heating is renowned for being low maintenance, which is excellent news. However, should anything go wrong with the parts that are installed in the floor, repairing and replacing them could be something of a nightmare job, so you do need to make sure the installation is of the highest quality possible.
Obviously, if you are installing a water underfloor heating system as a DIY project, there really isn’t much of a guarantee on offer. The products, themselves, will be guaranteed, but if they are installed badly then the problem lies elsewhere and you will not be able to claim against that guarantee. However, if you have a professional system installed, you should ensure that you are provided with a valid guarantee that is valid for a reasonable period of time. It is definitely worth paying a little more to find a company that offers a long guarantee. If a company is prepared to offer five years, when others only offer two, it must be confident that there are not going to be any issues within this period. You can then rest assured that this is a robust product that you can be confident has been installed properly.
If you do a half DIY scheme and employ a plumber and/or electrician to do their part, you need to make sure you get them to provide a guarantee. Although limited to the work they have done, it could save you a headache in the future.
