Underfloor Heating Installers
What is underfloor heating?
Underfloor heating is a way of heating a home through strong and flexible tubing that is embedded in the floor. It is efficient and affordable, offering numerous advantages over radiators.
There are various types of underfloor heating systems available. The best underfloor heating solution for you will depend on a range of factors including your project type, your current heating system and energy source.
Key Underfloor Heating Benefits
Suitable for most properties
Energy-efficient
Maximises space in the home
Luxurious feeling of warm floors
Flexible control through zoning areas of the home
How does underfloor heating work?
Underfloor heating essentially works by turning the floor area into a giant, efficient and invisible heat emitter. Heating tubes or cables are installed beneath the floor, which heat up, to warm the room from the ground up. Strong, flexible tubing is used for warm water underfloor heating systems, whilst cables are used in electric underfloor heating systems.
Because underfloor heating covers such a large surface area, it is able to use much lower water temperatures than radiators. This helps to improve efficiency – especially with a heat pump – and also better heats a room as there are no cold spots.
Why underfloor heating design matters
We design your system to suit your home so that your underfloor heating performs as expected.
Our design process takes into account room-by-room heat loss, optimised running efficiency, and other critical factors to ensure your system heats your home in a better way.
A designed underfloor system will be responsive and achieve the perfect temperature – not too hot or too cold.
Maximum efficiency can be achieved by optimising the system to produce the right amount of heat with minimal energy use.
Your installer will receive a detailed tube layout and electrical drawings, simplifying installation.
Each room can be set to a different temperature, giving you complete comfort.
Because we calculate the amount of tubing and materials required, any excess is kept to a minimum – reducing waste.
Underfloor heating with heat pumps
Air source heat pumps are at their most efficient when producing low temperatures over a sustained period of time.
An underfloor heating system uses water that is around 40-45°C, circulating this across the entire floor area to heat your home. In comparison, a traditional radiator system needs to use water that is far hotter, around 70-80°C, in order to heat the room/s using a much smaller surface area.
This is why integrating an air source heat pump with underfloor heating is the preferred combination, ensuring you get the maximum benefit from your heat pump system.
Why you should pair underfloor heating with an air source heat pump
- Low flow temperature solution – maximizing the air source heat pump efficiency
- Up to 40% more efficient than a boiler and radiators system
- Reduces carbon footprint.
- When choosing J L Phillips Renewable Energy Solutions, you have a fully designed and integrated heat pump and underfloor heating solution from a single supplier
