The construction of modern in-floor heating cables has seen many changes within the industry. The requirement for more accurate locations and more sophisticated equipment has seen several location and repair technicians retire from the industry. Other interested electricians have been reluctant to purchase the required equipment due to the variety, size, weight and cost of that equipment.
While servicing the current market, we have found that the in-floor heating manufacturers do not have suitable equipment to allow them to train their technicians in the location of the damage to their cables in a concrete floor. With the development of the Tone Voltage Current Generator [TVCG] and subsequent manufacturer/production of the device, we will be able to assist the cable manufacturers with this shortfall.
Increasing extreme weather events and their associated thunderstorms are having a noticeable impact on electric floor heating installations in Australia. Read Jim's Lightning Induced Damage in Floor Heating Cables paper
Over 80% of floor heating problems are not in the floor. Find out more on our 'Do You Have a Cold Floor?' checklist page.
