Signs That Your Radiant Heating System Is in Trouble

While forced air heating systems are probably the most popular option in residential applications, a lot of homeowners swear by the comfort and benefits provided by their radiant heating systems in Windsor, CO. One of the greatest benefits that radiant heating systems have to offer is their reliable performance. These systems have fewer mechanical parts than forced air heating systems, which means that there is less that can go wrong. However, it is important to remember that there is no such thing as a 100% reliable heating system. Eventually you may find that you require professional radiant heating repairs in your home. 

Increased Heating Costs

Regardless of whether you use an electric radiant system in order to heat your home, or a fuel-powered boiler to heat water for distribution throughout the house via a hydronic heating system, you shouldn’t see inexplicable spikes in the amount of money that it costs to heat your living space. If you do, it is likely that there is a problem with your system that is resulting in this reduced energy efficiency. If you notice any incongruities with your heating costs, call us right away to find out what is wrong.

Signs of Leaks

We wish that we could tell you that there is no chance of your hydronic heating system leaking, but this simply is not the case. It is possible, though unlikely, that you will run into leaks with your system. These can do serious water damage to your home, and result in wasted energy. If you see signs of leaks, call our number immediately to have the problem expertly diagnosed and resolved.

Uneven Heating

Radiant heating systems cannot lose air via leaky ductwork, as they use no ductwork, so they are renowned for their even, comfortable distribution of heat. However, it is possible that your radiant heating system may begin to heat your home unevenly. If this happens, it might stem from a problem with the pump in your system, or an electrical issue if you use electric radiant heating. Again, only a trained professional can properly diagnose and resolve any such problems.
