When people think of eco-friendly upgrades for their homes, solar panels and heat pumps often top the list. But there’s another powerful solution that’s often overlooked: underfloor heating (UFH).
According to a recent Wunda YouGov survey, just 11% of UK homeowners associate UFH with sustainability, and only 14% recognise its potential to lower energy bills. That’s a surprisingly low awareness rate for a system that’s built for energy efficiency.
Quietly Efficient, Environmentally Smart
Unlike traditional radiators that require high temperatures to heat a room, underfloor heating works at much lower water temperatures typically 35°C to 45°C. This not only cuts down on energy use but also makes UFH perfectly suited to pair with renewable energy systems like heat pumps.
In short, it’s an ideal choice for those looking to reduce their carbon footprint without compromising comfort.
The Benefits Go Beyond Warm Floors
-
✅ Lower energy consumption
-
✅ Reduced household bills
-
✅ Works seamlessly with green tech
-
✅ Even heat distribution = improved comfort
But if only a small percentage of homeowners know about these advantages, many are likely missing out on a long-term opportunity to make their homes more efficient and future-proof.
Time to Rethink Heating
At Wunda Group, we believe it’s time to give underfloor heating the recognition it deserves — not just as a luxury, but as a smart, sustainable investment for the modern home.
