Some things in life that are better left to the experts! That’s what we like to say here at Hydrotherm Hydronic anyway. The internet is filled with an abundance of informational tutorials for DIYs you can try at home. Despite this, we strongly advise leaving any form of hydronic heating DIY installation with us.
When you’re dealing with electricity, plumbing, wires and various pipes, it doesn’t take long until you can start to become confused and put yourself in a hazardous situation. In this short article we outline the main things you need to consider before deciding to do a DIY, and why we believe that hydronic heating and DIYs are not a good mix.
Lack of experience
A lack of electrical experience and knowledge can place you at risk of danger when it comes to handling equipment during your DIY. If you are uncertain of how to properly use something, or whether you find yourself second guessing what you’re doing, this is a good indicator that you probably do not possess the required knowledge or skills to perform or complete this task yourself.
Incorrect Installation
An incorrect installation can result in the boiler having an adverse effect with other elements of your hydronic heating system, i.e your thermostat. Installing your own heating system can lead to water leaks, air in the system or cause an accidental electrical short circuit. While these may seem like minor problems, having any of these issues occur could possibly then later lead to detrimental issues with your hydronic heating system which could impact the overall performance of your hydronic system. This then leads to our next point.
Does your warranty cover it?
Performing a DIY installation, or having the installation done by someone without a license or the appropriate qualifications, can result in a breach of your insurance policy. This can result in a more costly endeavour to repair and re-purchase the equipment necessary to carry out the installation correctly.
Hiring a professional to complete the work in the first place will cut the cost and time of making a mistake and allow you to rest easy knowing that your system has been set up safely and properly.
