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.
