Thermal Imaging in Floor Heating: Why Thermo Elite Inc. Is the Premier Authority in Montreal

 There are few heating solutions that are as comfortable and efficient as electric radiant heating. Nevertheless, if issues such as heating imbalances, cold areas, leaks, and electrical malfunctions develop, finding and identifying the problematic area without causing destructive flooring removal becomes rather difficult. As such, thermal imaging in floor heating becomes one of the most crucial and effective diagnostic tools. Thermo Elite Inc. has the expertise in using state-of-the-art infrared technology that allows us to quickly and accurately pinpoint the most destructive and concealed issues.

What is Thermal Imaging in Floor Heating

The technology is called infrared thermography, where thermal imaging cameras are able to record the surfaces of flooring and detect temperature anomalies. A floor heating system works to evenly distribute warmth all throughout the surface. As such, thermal imaging will reveal where any breaks, wiring faults, or water line blockages and irregularities may be located.

With this technology, disassembling the system is completely unnecessary. A comprehensive reassessment of the system can be conducted, and diagnostic issues can be ascertained and system repairs can be effectively planned.

The best thermal imaging technology available to the industry is being utilized at Thermo Elite Inc. case radiant floor heating system.

Why is Thermal Imaging Important When It Comes to Issues with Heated Floors?

Fast and Precise Diagnostics  

Thermal imaging captures and displays the core temperature and heat signature of your floor and the heating system wires above it in real time. It also helps our technicians find the following issues in minutes.  

Cold Spot Detection  

Uneven heating  

Heater cable breaks  

Thermostat malfunction  

Blocked Hydronic heating pipes  

Faulty Wiring  

No guessing means more efficient troubleshooting.   

Non-Invasive Inspections   

Traditional inspections typically require taking out pieces of the floor and checking the wires and pipes. With thermal imaging, we can do everything without removing a single tile of the floor.  

No unexpected repair costs, No dust, No hassles.   

Both Electric & Hydronic Floor Heatings   

Regardless of the heating system in the floor (electric wire, or hot water pipe) thermal imaging readily and rapidly detects heat signature differences, and is the best diagnostic option for both systems.  

Ideal for New Buildings and Existing Floors  

Homeowners often want to ensure their newly installed heated floors work properly before They can finalize the renovations to be fully functional. Thermal imaging helps to verify that the floor heating can be used as intended before the renovations are completed.  

For older homes, thermal imaging helps with the easy detection of problems before they become highly expensive issues.

Identifying Common Problems With Using Thermal Imaging

In Thermo Elite Inc, we have thermal imaging technology to detect various problems with floor heating systems:

1. Cold Spots or Uneven Heating

In the case of electric radiant systems, this could mean a break or a defect in the heating part.

2. Leaks in Hydronic Systems.

When there is a drop in temperature at a particular point, this could mean a water leak or inadequate movement, which can also be seen in a thermal picture.

3. Malfunction of Thermostat or Sensor Problems.

When there are heating pattern variations, the thermostat is probably not detecting temperatures accurately.

4. Damaged Heating Cables.

With time, cables break due to age, poor installation or pressure from furniture. Thermal imaging can find the location of these broken cables. 

5. Blocked or Air-Locked Water Pipes.

Hydronic floor heating requires water to flow. Any blockage will cause a considerable difference in the amount of heat at one point which will show up in an infrared scan. 

6. Construction Defects

Heating elements are sometimes not placed in the same or correct position. Thermal imaging indicates these discontinuities in installation before they become serious issues.

When Should You Schedule Thermal Imaging for Floor Heating?

The following situations should encourage you to schedule thermal imaging:

Your floor feels warm in some areas but cold in others

Your heating system seems to be using more energy than it does normally

Heating some rooms in the house seems to take more time than others

You believe a leak in a hydronic system is present

The system seems to stop working

You are completing a construction or renovation project that includes heated floors and are in need of confirmation

Even in the absence of apparent problems, it is highly advisable to inspect the heating system annually, to avoid problems in the future, and to maximize the heating system’s lifespan.
