UNDERFLOOR HEATING SHOULD BE EVEN, SILENT AND EFFICIENT — WHEN IT'S NOT, SOMETHING'S WRONG

Cold zones in an underfloor system, uneven warmth across a floor, manifold pumps running constantly, or pressure dropping in the loop — all signs of an underfloor system that needs attention. Most UFH problems are at the manifold (the control end of the system) rather than the pipework itself, which is usually buried for life. Diagnosing properly means knowing where to look.

EcoGas’s engineers are experienced on both wet (water-based) and electric underfloor systems. We use thermal imaging to identify cold zones, pressure-test each loop individually at the manifold, and check zone valves, pump operation and controls. Most repairs are at the manifold end — accessible, fixable, no need to dig up floors.

UNDERFLOOR HEATING ISSUES WE FIX

Signs to look for before you call

COLD ZONE

One loop or zone not heating — usually an air lock, a stuck zone valve, or a failed actuator. Quick fix at the manifold.

LOSING PRESSURE

System needs constant topping up — usually a leak at the manifold or a worn manifold flow gauge.

NOISY MANIFOLD

Constant pump noise, gurgling sounds — air in the system, undersized pump, or system imbalance.

UNEVEN WARMTH

Some floor areas warm, others cool — loop balancing problem or sludge build-up.

CONTROL FAILURE

Thermostats not responding, zone control not working — usually wiring or a failed controller module.

ACTUAL LEAK IN FLOOR

Pressure dropping with no visible leak at manifold — thermal imaging can locate underfloor leaks accurately.

WHAT PERTH SAYS ABOUT OUR UFH WORK

Edward T. — Perth

Three zones of our UFH had stopped heating. EcoGas diagnosed failed actuators at the manifold — replaced all three in 90 minutes. System has been even ever since. No floors lifted.

Fiona B. — Perth

Installed UFH in our kitchen extension. EcoGas designed the layout, fitted the pipework before the screed went down, set up the controls, fully commissioned. Floor heats beautifully and quietly.

Graham N. — Perth

System kept losing pressure. EcoGas used thermal imaging, found a tiny leak in one of the manifold connections, repaired it. Other firms had said we'd need to dig up the floor.

Hannah C. — Perth

Annual UFH service uncovered air locks in two loops we hadn't realised were affecting performance. Re-bled, rebalanced. Floor is noticeably more even now. Highly recommend annual servicing.

FIND THE REAL FAULT

FIX IT PROPERLY

UNDERFLOOR HEATING PROBLEMS RARELY FIX THEMSELVES

A cold zone wastes the gas heating the rest of the floor. A pressure leak gets worse over time. A failing actuator usually means others are about to fail too. Book an engineer.

WHY PERTH CHOOSES ECOGAS FOR UFH

UNDERFLOOR HEATING FAQS

MY UFH IS COLD IN ONE ZONE — DO YOU HAVE TO LIFT THE FLOOR?

Almost never. The most common causes of a cold UFH zone are: failed zone actuator (at the manifold), stuck zone valve (at the manifold), air lock in the loop (clearable at the manifold), or thermostat fault (also at the manifold or wall). All of these are accessible without touching the floor. We only need to access the floor itself in the very rare case of an actual pipe failure inside the screed.

CAN UFH BE FITTED IN AN EXISTING ROOM WITHOUT MAJOR DISRUPTION?

Yes — using low-profile electric UFH or low-profile wet systems designed for retrofit. These add only 15–25mm of floor height, much less than traditional UFH (which adds 50mm+). We can survey your room and recommend the best system based on the floor structure, available floor height, and your heating priorities.

WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN WET AND ELECTRIC UFH?

Wet UFH circulates warm water through pipes in the floor — connected to your boiler. Cheaper to run, suitable for whole-house installs, requires more floor build-up. Electric UFH uses heating mats — cheaper to install, more expensive to run, ideal for single-room retrofits (kitchens, bathrooms). We install both and can advise on which suits your situation.

HOW LONG DOES UFH LAST?

The pipework itself typically lasts 50+ years — buried in concrete, no moving parts, no UV exposure. What wears out is the equipment at the manifold (actuators, zone valves, pumps) and the controls (thermostats, controller modules). These typically last 10–15 years and are straightforward to replace. Annual servicing of the manifold extends the life of these components significantly.

CAN UFH BE COMBINED WITH RADIATORS IN OTHER ROOMS?

Yes, very commonly. Many Perth homes have UFH downstairs and radiators upstairs, controlled as separate zones from the same boiler. The boiler typically runs at a lower flow temperature suitable for UFH, with a mixing valve or separate manifold loop to heat the radiators to a higher temperature when needed. We design the integration as part of any new install.

DO YOU SERVICE UFH ANNUALLY?

Yes — annual UFH servicing includes manifold inspection, pressure check on each loop, actuator and zone valve testing, controls test, and inhibitor levels checked. Typically £120–£160 depending on system size. We strongly recommend annual servicing on any wet UFH system to catch issues before they cause cold zones.
