What is Underfloor Heating?
Underfloor Heating systems deliver warmth beneath the floor to efficiently warm a room.
An underfloor heating system comes with many benefits. In general these are; more comfort, less airborne dust and allergens & the ability to furnish with freedom.
Water Underfloor Heating systems reduce running costs and carbon emissions. Getting the best results from any heat source.
Radiators vs Underfloor Heating Comparison
- Underfloor heating can provide the same or higher heat output than radiators.
- Water Underfloor heating uses 35-45°C instead of 60-80°C Radiator water temperatures.
- Lower temperatures reduce energy consumption and carbon emissions.
- Installing Underfloor heating will: reduce draughts and allergen movement and allow more interior design options.

Electric vs Underfloor Heating Comparison
- Both Electric and Water Underfloor Heating systems are popular choices for retrofit installations.
- Electric Underfloor Heating is useful for a small area installation (small bathroom). But, much more expensive to run.
- Water Underfloor Heating is more suited to a larger room or area, and 60% less to run than electric.
Water UFH
- 60% less to run than electric underfloor heating
- Easy to install, no digging up floors
- Reliable long term use, long guarantees.
Electric UFH
- Useful for small areas.
- Expensive to run.
- Certain systems have a shorter guarantee and more likely to fail.
Running costs
Underfloor heating uses much lower temperatures than radiators. Only needing water at 35-45°C, saving you huge amounts on your utility bills and ready for a net-zero future.
