Underfloor Heating Barton-on-Sea Hampshire (BH25): Underfloor heating is a cost effective and efficient approach to warming your home in Barton-on-Sea. You can use it to eliminate cold spots by augmenting your current heating arrangement, or it can replace conventional radiators and be used as a heating system for the whole property, given that underfloor heating is very adaptable in its uses. You can take your pick between electric or water systems for your underfloor heating installation.
Both electric and warm water underfloor systems provide consistent and efficient heating from the floor upwards. They run at cooler temperatures than standard radiators and so use less energy. To heat a room effectively a conventional gas boiler and radiator setup will require water heated up to between 65 and 75 degrees C, which is more than two times that of the 25-35 degrees needed by an underfloor heating setup.
BENEFITS OF UNDERFLOOR HEATING IN BARTON-ON-SEA
Consistent Heat: With air being warmed up next to a radiator's surfaces before spreading around a room, cool spots can often occur. The air in a room rises up from all floor areas simultaneously, and is a consistent heat from floor level heating mats or pipes in an underfloor heating setup.
Cheaper Running Costs: They operate at lower temperatures to provide the same heating benefits of a traditional central heating system, and thus are more eco-friendly and less expensive to run.
Usability: Both electric and wet underfloor heating installations are controlled by a digital thermostat. You'll have total control of your heating, and you can even pre-programme your heating to suit colder times of day or automatically adjust to the different demands of the seasons.
Lower Maintenance Requirements: With virtually no maintenance requirements, electric underfloor heating systems are generally hassle free and should provide several years of reliable service. Water underfloor systems may be in need of periodic checks to make certain that things are all working properly, however there's no need for bleeding of radiators or flushing. Running water based underfloor heating at lower temperatures also has the benefit of putting far less stress on gas boilers and alternative methods of heating (air/ground source heat pumps) making them more reliable and giving them a longer service life.
Ideal For Any Room: The installation of an underfloor heating system can free-up the ten percent of wasted space which is usually created by conventional hot water radiators. The fact that underfloor heating can be used with almost any floor covering also makes it perfect for conservatories, kitchens, living rooms and bathrooms in Barton-on-Sea. It is even possible to use underfloor heating for outside areas of your property in Barton-on-Sea like garages, terraces or summer houses.
Improved Air Quality: With gentle heat rising up from the floor, an underfloor heating system creates what is termed, radiant heat, which reduces the amount of the thermal air currents around a room. A more healthy environment is established as the movement of pollen and dust particles in the air is lowered.
The style of underfloor heating system that's more suitable to your requirements hinges on precisely how much work you want to undertake. Electric underfloor systems in Barton-on-Sea are typically quicker and simpler to design and install. It is also a simple choice for retrofitting into a pre-existing property in Barton-on-Sea. If your project is a new build or part of a major restoration, water fed underfloor heating systems will be more suitable, particularly if you are going to be laying a brand new sub-floor.
ELECTRIC UNDERFLOOR HEATING IN BARTON-ON-SEA
The easiest and quickest underfloor heating to install is an electric mat or wire system, which just needs a link-up to the electricity supply and a suitable digital thermostat within your property in Barton-on-Sea. Existing dwellings can have electric underfloor systems retrofitted into individual rooms without any issues in most circumstances. If have a spare room or are converting a loft that doesn't get used on a daily basis it can sometimes be an excellent option.
In a time span of around 30 minutes an electric heating mat can be installed. The heating mats come in rolls which are laid out onto the insulating surface or sub-floor, and then have them linked up to a suitable electric mains supply by an experienced person. Different kinds of underfloor heating mats are available for different floor surfaces and your underfloor heating specialist in Barton-on-Sea will be delighted to give you advice on which one is best for your situation.
In odd shaped rooms or areas where cutting standard mats to the right size could be difficult, free form heating wire is used. As the name suggests, the heating element comes in the form of one single cable which is laid in "runs" onto an insulation pad or substrate underneath your primary flooring finish. A digital room based thermostat will be fitted and the heating cable connected to a suitable electric spur or point by a professional electrician.
You could fit electric underfloor heating as freestanding options into individual rooms, or link it to a "whole home" system whereby it is controlled from a single point. If you're planning to install a smart home system in your property in Barton-on-Sea, it's easy to integrate electric underfloor thermostats and metering into your plans.
WARM WATER UNDERFLOOR HEATING SYSTEMS
Hot water is used in this type of underfloor heating, which are also known as hydronic or wet floor systems by various producers. These systems can be connected to a conventional central heating boiler if you have already got one installed, or can just as easily be used in conjunction with air or ground source heat pumps in newer builds.
Installing a warm water system increases the floor height since it's placed into a layer of thermal screeding over your subfloor. In Barton-on-Sea new builds this extra height can be allowed for in the design phase, but for existing builds there are slim pipe solutions which keep the extra thickness requirement to a minimum. The use of water based systems is now being more widely adopted as an alternative strategy for "whole home" heating in Barton-on-Sea. This is thanks to their higher efficiency, lower operating costs and increased thermal effect.
HYBRID UNDERFLOOR HEATING SYSTEMS
A combination of water and electric underfloor heating can be employed to create a hybrid system. Upper level rooms and loft spaces use electric underfloor heating, while ground floors and basements, which have higher heating energy requirements, use a water system. The best efficiency for a whole house installation can be perfectly adapted to meet the needs of any property by using a hybrid system.
PLANNING, DESIGN AND INSTALLATION OF UNDERFLOOR HEATING
If you're looking at fitting an underfloor heating system to any area of your property in Barton-on-Sea, it is crucial that you conduct a thermal heat loss survey. An accredited heating engineer or architect will carry out the survey to ascertain if any extra levels of insulation are necessary and the size of heating system that you will need. Internal living areas will have different wattage needs than that of higher heat loss areas, such as an uninsulated room or conservatory. The design of your underfloor heating setup, electric, water fed or hybrid, will be based upon this detailed survey which establishes the heating requirements, dimensions and shape of the full installation.
To eliminate heat loss in to the sub-floor it may be required to insert insulating boards under any heating cables, heat mats or pipes. Using this insulation improves the efficiency of the system by bringing down the warm-up or heating time by essentially "pushing" the generated heat up into your room.
All electrical link-ups must be done by a Part P qualified NICEIC electrician, but water pipes and electric mats can be installed by any capable DIY person. A competent installation service will provide you with total peace of mind in relation to Health and Safety, and it's advised to use a qualified installer in Barton-on-Sea for the extra guarantees and safety this brings to your new home heating system. Even despite the overall reliability of underfloor heating systems it's still necessary to bear in mind the level of warranties and aftercare, like servicing, which is offered by your installation company.
SUMMARY
If you are contemplating installing an underfloor heating system in an existing property in Barton-on-Sea, it is best to look at electric based system. Due to the extra flooring height requirements for warm water underfloor heating they are more suitable for properties having major restoration works carried out, or new build projects.
Either of these styles of underfloor heating can save you a fair amount of money on conventional heating methods, and provide consistent heating which is easily controlled and monitored.
