Underfloor heating – save money on your heating bills!
Underfloor heating is an increasingly popular way of heating a home and is being used more and more in new build and renovation properties, thanks to its many benefits. Underfloor heating systems are invisible, which means there is no need to give up any valuable wall space for radiators and no need to spend hours trying to find a heater that you like the look or that is most efficient.
Unlike radiators the system is maintenance free, so never again will you have the hassle of walking around the house to ‘bleed’ each radiator before the winter hits, which is a real bonus. The system runs off hot water and is perfect for use in new builds where a condensing boiler is to be used. What’s more, it is a cheap way to gain effective heating to the home. Remember heat rises, so by having floor heating you are going to create lovely warm floors that slowly heat the room from the ground up.
Conventional wall heaters are normally already a good two or three feet off the ground, which means that the lowest part of the room is never heated at all. This is definitely a bonus for those with young children who spend a lot of time crawling on floors playing, it means that in the winter they are not going to get cold, in fact you may well want to get down and join them as the floor will be lovely and warm, so kick off your slippers and enjoy the heat.
