What Is Underfloor Heating?
Underfloor heating passes warm water through pipes through the floor of your home providing space heating. The loops are all controlled from a central manifold which is connected to the central heating system. The manifold opens and closes actuators to adjust the temperature in the loops so they can be controlled with a thermostat in each room.
Different from radiators, which typically require a water temperature of 45 – 60⁰C to heat the rooms through convection, underfloor heating only needs a water temperature of 35 – 45⁰C. This means that the heat source does not have to raise it’s flow temperature as high so energy efficiency is increased. It also means that underfloor heating is ideal for a heat source which works best at low temperatures such as a heat pump.
What are the Benefits of Underfloor Heating?
- Underfloor heating systems are a great choice and acknowledged as being efficient and great value for money.
- Underfloor heating can reduce your heating bills as underfloor heating uses a lower flow temperature than normal radiators. Radiators typically require a flow temperature between 50 and 70⁰C whereas an underfloor heating system will run at between 35 and 40⁰C so the heating system doesn’t have to work as hard to get the temperature up. They work very well with condensing boilers and heat pumps.
- Underfloor heating enables you to design your room using all the room space without having to work around radiators.
- Underfloor heating is controlled by a thermostat in each room allowing you to set each room to a different temperature that best suits you.
- Underfloor heating provides a comfortable environment as the heat surrounds you, leaving no cold spots unlike a radiator system where the heat rises making your ceiling the warmest part of the room.
