Hi,
i am hoping someone can help me, as this is my first post but in desperate need of some advice.
we have installed electric ufh and had it tiled, but when installing we to remove the cable from the mat and coil it around to fit in the remaining space. The mat was tested before tiled and everything was working.
However now its been tiled the area in the corner where there is more than normal amount of cable (it hasn't touched or crossed) it is very hot, but the rest of the mat does not seem to be heating anywhere near the amount it should.
Are electrician thinks that the heat may be getting pulled to the area of most cable and missing the beginning of the mat out? is this possible and if so what options do i have? the area that isn't heating does not feel like we have any underfloor heating which is very disappointing.
We have spoke to the suppliers and they advised not to shorten the cable, but is this them just covering themselves, because are electrician thinks it could work by not pulling as much power to that area? Has anyone ever shortened or cut their mat cables.
the area that isn't warming as efficiently does have a poor sub floor compared to the rest of the room, could this have anything to do with it also?
any help and advice is greatly appreciated?
