Electric Radiant Ceiling Heat Repair

Electric radiant ceiling heat was once a popular heating system, especially in all-electric apartments and rental properties during the 1960s and 70s. These systems provide quiet, draft-free heating, but since they are embedded in the ceiling, diagnosing and repairing issues can be challenging.

Common Ceiling Heat Problems & Repairs

Radiant ceiling heat systems are simple in design but can develop issues over time, especially if they have been accidentally damaged by screws, nails, or ceiling modifications. Our team uses infrared cameras and advanced troubleshooting techniques to locate issues with pinpoint accuracy.

  • No Heat in One or More Rooms: A broken wire or thermostat issue can cause sections of the ceiling to stop heating.
  • Uneven Heating or Cold Spots: Damaged or disconnected heating wires can prevent even heat distribution.
