Why Choose Underfloor Heating?

Underfloor heating uses either flexible tubing or electric heat cables embedded in the floor. It is efficient, affordable and with the growing number of solutions being created they are possibly the most versatile and flexible systems available.

As people are aware, heat rises. So, it makes sense that an underfloor heating system would be the most efficient and effective way to heat your property, but a lot of people are put off due to the belief that underfloor heating is difficult to install, costly and is more of a luxury choice. Thankfully this view is changing, which is why many new build property developers are opting for underfloor heating combined with air source heat pumps over the usual central heating radiator system.

How Does Underfloor Heating Work?

Underfloor heating works by using either flexible pipe or heating cable underneath the floor finish, which essentially turns your floor into one giant heat emitter. Water underfloor heating systems use warm water that flows through the pipes beneath the floor, warming the room from the ground up. Electric underfloor heating does the same thing, but uses heat cables instead.

The great thing about water underfloor heating is that it covers such a large surface area, and is able to run on much lower water temperatures than your standard radiator system. Not only does this make for an extremely energy efficient solution, it also means no cold spots!

Why Underfloor Heating Design is Important

A poorly designed heating system means a poorly heated home and high heating costs. Uheat designs your underfloor heating system so that it is perfectly suited to your requirements and that it will perform as expected. When you ask for a quote, Uheat goes the extra mile to ensure that the heating system design takes into account any heat loss, and is the most efficient solution available.
