Heating & cooling
Monitor embedded electric floor or ceiling heat
Embedded electric radiant systems have no moving parts and generally require no recurring service. The thermostat, floor/ceiling finish and electrical protection are the maintainable parts.
Recommended timingNo routine internal maintenance
What to do
- Keep the installation plan, resistance readings, thermostat manual and warranty with the home records.
- Test any GFCI protection using the manufacturer's test button schedule and confirm the thermostat operates normally before heating season.
- Before drilling, fastening, remodeling or changing floor coverings, locate the heating cables and verify product compatibility.
- Call the manufacturer or a qualified electrician for cold spots, trips, damaged controls or suspected cable damage.
Do not probe, splice or energize a suspected damaged heating cable. Repairs require qualified electrical and product-specific expertise.
