Replaced a faulty pump, balanced the wet underfloor heating system, and confirmed proper functionality using a thermal camera to restore even heating across all rooms.
Client Location: Croydon, London
Issue: Wet underfloor heating system not heating all rooms
Background
A customer in Croydon contacted PHS Engineers Ltd regarding an issue with their wet underfloor heating system. Despite the system being operational, several rooms were not heating adequately, leading to discomfort and uneven temperature distribution throughout the property. Recognising the need for prompt action, PHS dispatched a skilled heating engineer to diagnose and resolve the issue.
Investigation and Diagnosis
Upon arrival, the engineer conducted a thorough assessment of the underfloor heating system and its components. After liaising with the customer to understand the symptoms, it became apparent that the issue stemmed from a pump failure. The defective pump was unable to circulate heated water efficiently, resulting in uneven heating across the property.
Repair Process
The engineer carried out the following steps to restore the system’s functionality:
- Pump Replacement:
The old, malfunctioning pump was carefully removed from the system. A new, high-quality pump was then installed to ensure reliable and efficient operation. - System Reinstatement and Balancing:
After the pump replacement, the engineer reinstated the system and performed balancing adjustments. This step ensured that hot water was distributed evenly across all zones, eliminating temperature disparities between rooms. - Thermal Camera Inspection:
To confirm the system was functioning correctly, the engineer used a thermal camera to scan each room. This non-invasive tool provided clear visual evidence that heat was being delivered consistently to all areas of the property.
Outcome
Following the repair, the wet underfloor heating system was fully operational. The thermal camera inspection verified that all rooms were now evenly heated, providing the customer with a comfortable living environment. The client expressed satisfaction with the swift and efficient service provided by PHS.
