Underfloor heating is increasing in popularity as many householders are looking at ways to make their homes more energy efficient. As a heating system it has several benefits, for both the installer and the end user. We have highlighted below the key benefits that installing underfloor heating delivers to you and your clients.
Quick and easy to install: One of the main benefits of electric underfloor heating is the ease and speed of installation. It is quick and easy to install meaning that more jobs can be completed in a shorter period of time. Three options of installing are available to the installer:
Underfloor heating mats where the underfloor heating wire comes taped pre-spaced on a sturdy mesh, are ideal for regular shaped areas as it simply involves rolling out the mat to begin the installation. They won’t raise floor levels making it popular among consumers who wish to install underfloor heating in conjunction with a bathroom renovation, for example.
Loose wire systems where the cable is taped and secured to the floor, are best suited for irregular shaped areas. Similar to the heating 
mats, the loose wire system will not raise floor levels, but it is best suited to an area where the space cannot be divided into areas where a mat can be rolled out
Heating foil systems are designed for use with laminate, carpet, vinyl, engineered wood and other floating floors. These should be used with same brand insulated underlay and dual overlay to get the most responsive system.
Versatile-suitable for use under a wide range of floor finishes: With the increasing trend of designing a home bespoke to its owner, people now use a variety of flooring finishes instead of the traditional carpet. When choosing a heating system, the choice of floor finish will not in most cases restrict the use of underfloor heating. Underfloor heating is suitable for almost any floor finish, making it a versatile heating solution for any room of the house, including rooms with carpet, laminate and wooden floors.
Energy efficient controlled room temperature. A thermostat allows end users to choose the desired temperature for their rooms. Warmup 3iE energy-monitor thermostat also allows heating different areas of home to a different temperature, called “zonal heating”, and knowing the exact underfloor heating costs. The 3iE also learns from the users’ recorded energy consumption and prompts users to choose the best and most energy efficient temperature to heat up each room. This allows users to heat the rooms they want when they want, with no wasted energy.
Cost effective: electric underfloor heating truly is a cost efficient heating system. The only cost is a one-off supply cost and labour installing the system. Because electric underfloor heating uses a lower temperature than standard radiators to provide heat, the water-heating costs are reduced. When the desired temperature has been reached, a small amount of heat is required to maintain the desired temperature levels.
Invisible & silent: Underfloor heating is an invisible heating system. This means that no radiators are needed and there will be more living space to be enjoyed. The system is also silent and maintenance free. There will be no need for regular check-ups which will make the long term cost of having the system even lower.
