Electric Underfloor Heating Popular Questions
How long does it take to warm up?
Warm-up times depend on factors such as the type of floor covering (tile, wood, carpet) and insulation. In general, it can take 30 minutes to a few hours. Tiles and stone floors conduct and retain heat efficiently, making them ideal for faster and more efficient heating.
Can it be installed in any room?
Yes, electric underfloor heating can be installed in almost any room, including bathrooms, kitchens, living rooms, and even conservatories. It's most commonly used, however, in smaller rooms due to its cost. There should be special consideration given to the type of flooring, as this can have a negative impact on the efficacy of the system. For more information, please get in touch with one of our experts today.
What flooring works best with electric underfloor heating?
Tile, stone, and ceramic floors conduct heat most effectively, making them ideal for electric underfloor heating. It is also possible to use wood, laminate, vinyl, or even carpet as long as they are suitable for underfloor heating. It is important to check the maximum heat tolerance of the flooring material.
Can electric underfloor heating replace radiators?
In many cases, yes. The installation of electric underfloor heating is an excellent alternative to radiators, especially in well-insulated homes. However, it is generally more effective in smaller spaces. In larger areas, it may be more efficient to combine electric underfloor heating with radiators or use a water-based system.
How is it controlled?
Electric underfloor heating is usually controlled by thermostats. Many systems offer a programmable thermostat that allows you to set specific times for heating, which improves energy efficiency. In some modern systems, you can even control them remotely via Wi-Fi from your smartphone.
Do I need insulation for electric underfloor heating?
Insulation boards are highly recommended during the installation process. Besides preventing heat loss, they also allow the system to warm up faster, which saves energy in the long run. Without insulation, the heat can escape downward instead of warming up the room.
