I know of radiant floor systems that are as new as 5 years old that dont work. Why?
We would surmise either the system never worked properly from the start, was installed poorly, or has experienced premature failure of one or more support equipment items. Many components work together to make a radiant system work. A failure of one or more of these components could contribute to poor performance. A professionally installed radiant panel system is regarded as being very reliable with low maintenance to operate. A five year old system should be considered brand new in respect to overall system life. The question is How long has the system not worked, from the start or 5 years later? We usually will rely on historical data to form initial opinions about the system. Since a relatively new system has less history, it is more difficult to arrive at an immediate conclusion about the problem. First, realize that there isnt a component made that is not susceptible to failure. It is possible for a new system which is installed well to fail because of one bad component or improp
