A recent YouGov survey revealed that 35% of UK homeowners cite installation cost as one of the reasons they haven’t yet installed underfloor heating. While upfront costs can feel daunting, this statistic highlights a common misconception: many homeowners are not fully aware of the long-term energy-saving potential of underfloor heating systems.
What sets underfloor heating apart is its ability to operate at lower water temperatures – typically between 35°C and 45°C. This makes it not only highly energy-efficient but also an eco-friendly heating solution. In an era where energy performance and sustainability are top of mind, underfloor heating offers a forward-thinking alternative to traditional radiators.
It’s also worth noting that underfloor heating is the ideal companion for heat pumps, which perform best when producing water below 50°C. The synergy between the two systems can result in significantly lower energy consumption – and in turn, lower energy bills.
Yet despite these benefits, only 14% of UK homeowners are aware that underfloor heating can help reduce energy bills. This knowledge gap suggests there’s more work to be done in educating homeowners about the full range of benefits underfloor heating has to offer – not just comfort and modern design, but real, measurable energy savings over time.
