Underfloor Heating
How does it work?
Underfloor heating is a revolutionary heating system that harnesses renewable energy to provide efficient and comfortable warmth for homeowners in the North East of the UK. This innovative system works by circulating warm water through a network of pipes installed beneath the floor surface. The heat emitted from the pipes rises gently, evenly distributing warmth throughout the room from the ground up.
​
Powered by renewable energy sources such as air source heat pumps or ground source heat pumps, underfloor heating ensures sustainable and eco-friendly heating for your home. By operating at lower water temperatures than traditional radiators, it maximizes energy efficiency and reduces heating costs. With the absence of bulky radiators, underfloor heating creates a spacious and visually appealing living environment, allowing you to make the most of your valuable floor space.
Benefits of investing in underfloor heating
Energy efficiency
Underfloor heating operates at lower water temperatures compared to traditional radiators, making it highly energy-efficient. By utilising renewable energy sources such as air source heat pumps or ground source heat pumps, it maximises energy savings and reduces carbon emissions, helping to create a greener and more sustainable home.
Comfortable and even heat distribution
With underfloor heating, warmth is evenly distributed across the entire floor surface, creating a comfortable and cozy environment. Unlike radiators, which can produce localized heat and create temperature variations, underfloor heating eliminates cold spots and drafts, providing consistent warmth throughout each room.
Cost-effective heating
While the initial installation costs may be higher than traditional heating systems, underfloor heating provides long-term cost savings. The energy-efficient operation reduces heating bills, and with proper insulation, the system retains heat effectively, ensuring efficient use of energy and reducing overall energy consumption.
Space saving and design freedom
Underfloor heating eliminates the need for bulky radiators, freeing up valuable wall space and allowing greater design flexibility. You have the freedom to arrange furniture, hang artwork, and decorate your home without the restriction of radiator placement, creating a clean and visually appealing living space.
