Question 1

Does the heating system need to be operating?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The system must be energised and producing heat for accurate thermal mapping. Without heat, the layout and performance of the system will not present clearly.

Question 2

Can this prevent accidental damage during renovations?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Mapping the heating layout prior to grinding, drilling, levelling or installing fixtures significantly reduces the risk of cutting into or damaging hidden cables or heated zones.

Question 3

Can thermal imaging confirm full system performance?

Accepted Answer

Thermal testing can identify cold zones, failed areas or abnormal heating patterns, but electrical testing may also be required if full performance verification is needed.

Question 4

Is the inspection invasive?

Accepted Answer

No. Thermal mapping is non-invasive and does not require lifting tiles, flooring or finishes.

Question 5

Is this useful for property buyers?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Buyers can gain a better indication of whether the underfloor heating system appears to be functioning before committing to purchase.

Question 6

Can you assist builders and floor levelling companies directly?

Accepted Answer

Yes. This service is well suited to builders, floor levelling contractors, tilers and other trades needing a clearer picture of heating layout before carrying out drilling, grinding, screeding or installation work.

Question 7

Do you travel outside Christchurch?

Accepted Answer

Yes. CITIS travels across the South Island to assist where underfloor heating mapping and testing is required for projects, renovations or due diligence.
