Possible Causes

Flow temperature too low from boiler, Incorrect floor sensor placement, Thermostat limiting maximum floor temperature too much, Air in underfloor circuits

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Turn off boiler and pump power before working on hydraulic components; leave boiler internals to professionals.

  • Check setpoints: Ensure the room setpoint and maximum floor temperature are appropriate for your floor type.
  • Increase flow temperature: If allowed, raise the boiler’s heating flow temperature slightly, staying within floor manufacturer limits.
  • Bleed circuits: Have the underfloor manifold circuits bled to remove air, which reduces heat transfer.
  • Verify sensor: Confirm the floor sensor is installed in the heated area, not near external walls or unheated zones.
