Underfloor Heating

Underfloor heating is a highly efficient and comfortable way of heating your home, providing a pleasant sensation when walking on a warm floor.

It is also an ideal choice when considering renewable energy systems, as it can be combined with air source, ground source, and solar PV technologies for best performance.

To ensure the efficiency of the entire underfloor heating system with renewable heat sources, it is essential to use the available heat and increase insulation in the house to keep a comfortable temperature.

Underfloor heating produces both radiant and convection heat, creating a consistent temperature from the floor to the ceiling. Compared to radiators, which heat the air and require higher temperatures to achieve a comfortable living environment due to their smaller surface area, underfloor heating is a more efficient solution.

Both underfloor heating and air or ground source heat pumps work best when left on all the time, and it is recommended to keep underfloor heating at a lower temperature for longer periods of time due to the lag time in heating and cooling. Smart control systems can also be installed with underfloor heating systems to perfect heat usage in different rooms based on their heating requirements.
