Underfloor heating can either be a heating system that makes your floor warm, or it can be your primary heat source, replacing your radiators. Underfloor heating either comes as electric cables that generate heat, or as a water system that uses piping and a pump to push the hot water around each floor.
What are the benefits of underfloor heating?
- More energy efficient than radiators
- Reduce your bills
- Retain heat in the room better than radiators
- More home comfort
How does underfloor heating work?
Underfloor heating works by distributing water through the piping below the floor, smart thermostats control the heat of the water so that a constant temperature is maintained. Any heat source can be used from traditional boilers to modern day heat pumps.
What makes underfloor heating so effective is that the heating starts at the bottom of the room meaning that the bulk of the heat is kept around the middle, and this gives an even spread of warmth too. Radiators on the other hand heat by convection sending the heat straight up to the ceiling which results in the floor being the coldest part of the room and leaves lots of cold patches throughout the room.
