Floor Heating Repairs & Fault Finding — Australia-Wide Service

Professional Floor Heating Fault Finding Without Ripping Up Your Floors

Your underfloor heating system has stopped working, and you're facing a nightmare scenario: ripping up expensive flooring to locate the fault, complete uncertainty about the actual problem, and repair costs spiralling out of control. P.A.P. Heating Solutions specialises in precision floor heating fault diagnosis and repair using advanced diagnostic technology that can locate faults to within centimetres, without destroying your floors.

Whether your ELEKTRA system has failed, you've inherited a faulty underfloor heating installation, or you operate an unfamiliar heating system, our qualified electricians and technicians can diagnose the problem quickly and accurately. We repair any brand of floor heating, not just ELEKTRA. Across Australia, when floor heating fails, we're the specialists contractors and property owners turn to.

Advanced Floor Heating Fault Finding Technology

Most floor heating failures happen in one of three ways: an open circuit (the heating element breaks completely), a cold tail fault (the return wire doesn't heat, indicating a break in the circuit), or a short circuit (insulation failure causing electrical leakage). Diagnosing which type of fault you're facing is the most important step.

We have developed our own repair technology that many repair specialists can't offer. They rely on simple out dated equipment, thats not only inaccurate but take hours to achieve a result.

Beyond fault location, we use thermal imaging cameras to visualise heat distribution across your floor. These sophisticated thermal cameras reveal exactly which sections of your floor are heating and which are cold. If a heating zone is producing no heat despite electrical power reaching the cable, thermal imaging helps us understand whether the problem is a complete cable failure, a control system malfunction, or a contactor relay issue.

Thermal imaging also helps us verify repairs. Once we've identified and fixed a fault, thermal imaging confirms that heat is flowing correctly through the entire circuit. This provides absolute certainty that your repair is complete and successful.

Common Floor Heating Faults We Diagnose and Repair

Open circuit faults occur when a heating cable is physically broken, usually by physical damage during construction or installation. The cable simply stops conducting electricity. P.A.P. can locate the break point, and we can either repair the cable in place or advise on replacement options.

Short circuit faults occur when the heating cable's insulation has degraded, allowing electricity to leak to ground / earth cable. Modern floor heating systems include RCD protection that immediately trips and cuts power when a short circuit is detected. This is a safety feature, but it leaves your floor unheated. We diagnose the location of the insulation failure and repair or replace the faulty section.

The alternative to professional fault finding is guesswork: paying for complete cable circuit replacement, ripping up and replacing flooring, or hiring multiple contractors to diagnose the problem. These approaches are expensive, disruptive, and often fail to solve the underlying issue.
