Radiant floor heating systems require specialized knowledge. Here's what Colorado Springs homeowners should know before calling for service:
Radiant floor heating systems are complex. Colorado Springs' hard water, altitude, and temperature extremes create unique challenges. Here are the most common issues we diagnose and repair:
Common causes include air trapped in hydronic lines, faulty zone valves, circulation pump failures, thermostat issues, or leaks in the tubing. Colorado Springs' hard water can cause sediment buildup in hydronic systems. Our technicians use specialized equipment to diagnose radiant heat problems and provide upfront pricing before repairs.
Signs include pressure drops in the system, consistently low boiler pressure, cold spots in certain floor areas, moisture appearing on floors or beneath flooring, or your boiler requiring frequent water refills. We use thermal imaging and pressure testing to pinpoint leaks without damaging floors unnecessarily.
Most radiant heat repairs range from $300 to $1,200 depending on the issue. Simple fixes like bleeding air from lines or replacing zone valves cost less, while pump replacements, manifold repairs, or leak detection cost more. Winterrowd HVAC provides detailed diagnostics and upfront pricing before any work begins.
In most cases, yes. Many radiant heat problems involve the boiler, pump, manifold, zone controls, or thermostat—all accessible without floor removal. For tubing leaks, we use thermal imaging and pressure testing to locate problems precisely, minimizing any floor work needed. Our goal is always the least invasive repair possible.
Hydronic radiant heat uses hot water circulated through tubing under your floor, connected to a boiler. Electric radiant heat uses heating cables or mats powered by electricity. Hydronic systems are more common for whole-home heating and are more efficient for larger areas. We repair both types in Colorado Springs.
Most radiant heat repairs are completed in 2-4 hours during a single visit. Simple fixes like bleeding air or replacing thermostats take 1-2 hours. Complex issues like pump replacement or zone valve repairs may take 3-4 hours. Leak detection and repair timelines vary based on location and floor type.
Yes, we service all major radiant heat system brands including Uponor (Wirsbo), Watts Radiant, Warmboard, WarmlyYours, Navien, and custom-built systems. Our technicians have extensive experience with both hydronic and electric radiant floor heating systems used in Colorado Springs homes.
If you notice water on floors, significant pressure drops, unusual noises, or complete loss of heat, turn off the system and call for service immediately. For minor issues like one cold zone or slightly uneven heating, the system can typically stay on until we arrive. Call (719) 752-0903 for guidance specific to your situation.
Radiant floor heating systems require specialized expertise—not all HVAC companies have it. Here's why Colorado Springs homeowners trust Winterrowd with their in-floor heating systems:
Radiant floor heating is fundamentally different from forced air systems. Our technicians have specialized training in hydronic and electric radiant systems—understanding manifolds, zone controls, pressure balancing, and the unique challenges of in-floor heating. This isn't basic HVAC work; it's a specialty.
We use thermal imaging cameras to identify cold zones and temperature inconsistencies without invasive testing. Our pressure testing equipment pinpoints leaks precisely, minimizing floor damage. We have specialized tools for bleeding hydronic lines, testing zone valves, and diagnosing circulation pump issues.
Since 2003, we've diagnosed and repaired hundreds of radiant heat systems across Colorado Springs. We've worked with every major system type, from modern Uponor systems to older Wirsbo installations to custom-built hydronic setups. That experience translates to faster, more accurate diagnoses.
Our goal is always to repair your radiant heat system with minimal disruption to your home. We exhaust all non-invasive diagnostic methods before recommending floor work. When floor access is needed, we work precisely to minimize the affected area and coordinate with flooring professionals for restoration.
Colorado Springs' hard water causes unique challenges for hydronic radiant systems—scale buildup in lines, sediment in manifolds, and accelerated wear on circulation pumps. Our local experience means we anticipate these issues and know how to address them effectively.
Radiant heat problems can be complex to diagnose. We thoroughly explain what we find, why it's happening, and what's needed to fix it—in plain English. Before any repair work begins, you'll receive upfront pricing with no hidden costs. You make the final decision on how to proceed.
From your first call to restored comfort, here's our systematic approach to diagnosing and repairing radiant floor heating systems:
Call (719) 752-0903 to describe your radiant heat issue. We'll ask targeted questions about symptoms—cold zones, pressure changes, unusual sounds—to prepare for the visit. We schedule diagnostics at your convenience, often same-day if you call before noon.
Our certified technician arrives with specialized diagnostic equipment including thermal imaging, pressure testing tools, and manifold gauges. We systematically check the boiler, circulation pump, manifold assembly, zone valves, thermostats, and tubing for issues. This typically takes 1-2 hours depending on system complexity.
We explain exactly what we found, what's causing the problem, and show you thermal images or pressure readings when relevant. You'll receive a detailed quote for recommended repairs with options when multiple solutions exist. We answer all your questions before you decide how to proceed.
Once you approve the work, our technician completes the repair using quality parts designed for radiant systems. We bleed air from lines, test pressure throughout the system, verify zone valve operation, and confirm even heat distribution. Most repairs are completed during the same visit.
We thoroughly test your radiant heat system to ensure proper operation—checking floor temperatures, verifying pressure stability, and confirming all zones respond correctly. We provide guidance on system maintenance, water quality management, and warning signs to watch for. You'll receive warranty information and our direct contact.
