What types of underfloor heating system are there?
There are two main types of underfloor heating systems: electric systems and water systems. Electric systems use electric cables or mats to generate heat whereas water systems (hydronic) rely on a network of pipes to circulate warm water from a boiler or heat pump.
Why choose underfloor heating?
- Energy-efficient – can often be more energy-efficient than traditional heating methods
- Maximum comfort – it offers even heat distribution so you can stay warm wherever you are in the home
- Space-efficient – instead of wall-mounted radiators, underfloor heating maximises space
How much is underfloor heating?
Electric systems cost between £50-£75 per square metre whereas water systems can cost between £80-£150 – including installation. However, the cost of underfloor heating installation varies depending on the type of system and size of the area.
Is underfloor heating compatible with all types of flooring?

Is underfloor heating environmentally friendly?
Yes, underfloor heating can be a n environmentally friendly option, especially if combined with renewable energy sources like solar panels or heat pumps. Because it operates at lower temperatures compared to traditional heating systems, it leads to reduced energy consumption.
Can underfloor heating increase property value?
Yes, underfloor heating can increase property value thanks to its energy-efficiency, comfort and modernity. It is often viewed as a luxury home feature which can increase the value.
