Heated flooring is a great option for climates like ours where – relatively speaking, at least – a heating system is not used extensively each year. Since the radiant floor heating system is hidden beneath flooring, there are no unsightly heating elements in each room of the house. This is just one of the benefits that come from using this type of heating system. However, some homeowners have had concerns about this type of heating system due to the potential for frustration when issues come up. After all, wouldn’t you have to tear up the flooring to get to heating elements when they need to be repaired?
Well, it of course depends on the issue. However, one of the things that can prevent having to rip up your flooring in the first place is having a home inspection that includes thermal imaging. An infrared camera can easily detect changes in temperature underneath your flooring, making it easy to determine exactly which element is causing the problem.
