Underfloor Heating

Underfloor heating is not expensive to run and can be seen to be a more cost-effective system to run in the long term when compared to traditional heating systems such as radiators. Studies have shown that the yearly cost to run underfloor heating in a bathroom costs less yearly than running your washing machine!

Underfloor heating definitely is enough to heat a house, as long as the system has been well insulated, installed and designed correctly, as well as the type of system selected being powerful enough for the size of room that you have to heat.

The best type of underfloor heating depends on the requirements of your property, such as the type of floor construction and the preferred heat source. For example, electric underfloor heating may be a good choice for retrofitting existing floors or small areas, while water-based systems are typically more suited to larger areas and can be more efficient when paired with a heat pump or a boiler. Ultimately, it is important to consult with our heating experts to determine the most suitable type of underfloor heating for your specific needs and budget.

Radiators are not required with underfloor heating, as an underfloor heating system is designed to be a replacement for radiators. Underfloor heating can provide a more comfortable and consistent temperature compared to radiators and would also free up any wall space that would otherwise be occupied by radiators.

It is not necessary to leave underfloor heating on permanently, as the system is designed to provide efficient and consistent heating even when used intermittently. However, it can be beneficial to maintain a consistent temperature in the home by using a programmable thermostat to set a schedule for the underfloor heating system. This can help to avoid wasting energy and reduce heating costs by ensuring that the system is not running unnecessarily when the space is unoccupied or during periods of milder weather.
