Radiant floor heat not warming? Here's Who to Call
When a radiant floor stays cold, the fault is usually in the loop that feeds it — an airlocked manifold, a stuck circulator pump, a failed zone valve, or a thermostat that isn't calling for heat. Electric mat systems can also have a broken heating element or tripped GFCI. An HVAC technician can purge the loops, test the pump and valves, and trace an electric element to restore even warmth.
