Frequently Asked Questions

Underfloor heating systems turn your floor into a radiator, warming the room from the ground up using either pipes (in water-based systems) or cables (in electric systems) embedded in the floor.

There are various types of underfloor heating, such as slimline retrofit systems designed for renovations.

Comfort: Underfloor heating provides natural, radiant warmth, unlike radiators that rely on convection. It heats the entire floor evenly, eliminating cold spots, draughts, and stuffiness, while keeping your floor warm and cosy.

Energy Efficiency: Using around 25% less energy than radiators, underfloor heating operates at lower temperatures and covers a larger area, making it a cost-effective way to save on energy bills.

Design Flexibility: Hidden beneath the floor, underfloor heating frees up wall and floor space, perfect for open-plan designs. 

Health & Safety: It promotes a healthier environment by reducing allergens and is safer for families, with no exposed hot surfaces or sharp edges.

You may understand how underfloor heating works, but can it actually help lower your monthly bills?

Warm water underfloor heating is highly efficient—about 25% more efficient than radiators when used with a modern condensing boiler, and up to 40% more efficient when paired with a heat pump. This efficiency often leads to lower running costs compared to traditional radiator systems, and it costs about a third of what an electric underfloor heating system would.
