Underfloor Heating

Underfloor heating is perfect for integration with heat pumps as both operate on low temperature water.
Underfloor heating is a modern and efficient way to heat and building giving increased comfort over traditional radiator systems.

Why choose underfloor?

Underfloor heating delivers a near perfect temperature profile between floor and ceiling due to a balanced combination of radiant and convected heat. With conventional central heating, the majority of heat is convected air, which rises making the ceiling one of the warmest places in the room. However, 50% of warmth generated by underfloor heating is radiant heat, where the floor evenly releases heat, which is absorbed by people and objects in the room.

Economy & Environment

Floorwarming systems are more efficient because they deliver the same results as conventional heating but operate at much lower temperatures and utilise a thermal store. This minimises cost both to you and the environment by consuming less fuel. Optimum economy is achieved when used in conjunction with heat pump because they perform most efficiently whilst working at lower temperatures. The average saving is around 20-25%, but on larger properties, savings can be as high as 40% using underfloor heating.

Design Freedom

Radiators can be ugly and consume valuable space. Not only do they take up wall space but placing furniture in front of them blocks heat. A floor warming system gives you complete freedom to design your interiors without restrictions.

Maintenance

Control

Unlike conventional radiator systems, each room with underfloor heating is able to have its own thermostat which can be controlled independently, thus saving energy and money on running costs. The water temperature flowing in the floor is set and adjusted by the heat pump depending on external weather conditions, this coupled with individual room thermostats (including bathrooms) provides a comprehensive control system.

Underfloor heating systems require less maintenance than conventional heating systems. Unlike radiators, underfloor heating systems do not have individual valves in each room, which are prone to fail from time to time. Likewise, underfloor heating systems do not need to be manually bled.
