Pros of Underfloor Heating

1. Energy Efficient

Traditional radiators need to be heated to a high temperature (between 65-75 degrees Celsius) in order to heat up a room effectively, whereas floor heating only needs to run at a temperature of 29 degrees Celsius or less, depending on the floor finish, in order to warm the room – thereby consuming less energy, and keeping your energy bills far lower.

2. Effortless to Run

A key benefit of underfloor heating is that once installed, the systems require almost no maintenance whatsoever and Warmup provide extensive warranties for all our products for total peace of mind.

3. More Space & Design Freedom

With underfloor heating systems, you’re able to enjoy your whole room without radiators on the walls. Even the most modern radiators take up room on a wall, so imagine the design freedom you have with heated floors – you can decorate the walls as you wish, to really make a statement or simply achieve the minimalist look, whatever your style, and free from having to plan around radiators.

4. Works with all Floor Coverings

(Tile and Stone, Wood and Laminate, Vinyl)

Underfloor heating gives you the freedom to design your home as you wish, making the most of all the wall and floor space. And you’re still free to choose the floor type that you want as floor heating works well with laminate, wood, tile, stone, carpet and more.

5. Safety and Comfort

When you have underfloor heating, you no longer need to worry about sharp edges or hot surfaces of radiators when younger family members are in the house. The heating system is safely tucked out of the way and won’t get too hot to the touch.

6. Ease of Installation

Underfloor Heating systems are easier to install than you may think. Suitable for both new-build projects and retrofitting as part of a home renovation, our electric systems can be installed in a room in as little as 1 – 2 days depending on the scope of your project.

Summary: Is Underfloor Heating Worth It?

Underfloor heating is an easy and energy efficient way to warm your home, and to keep your toes cosy. Although the cost of installing radiant heating is higher than the installation cost of traditional radiators, there are various options available to suit your budget and it’s worth keeping in mind that underfloor heating provides substantial cost savings on your energy bills in the longer term.

When renovating your bathroom, underfloor heating is especially worth thinking about. You will save a lot on the labour cost if the flooring is being lifted up and changed anyway. The comfort and the cost savings of running the system on your heating bills will work out to your advantage in a longer run.
