No matter which underfloor installation you choose for your home in Downham Market, warm water or electric, you'll get consistent heating from the floor up which is efficient and effective. These underfloor systems don't run at the higher temperatures required by traditional forms of heating, like for example radiators, and for that reason use less energy. In typical circumstances a correctly designed and sized underfloor heating system operates at approximately twenty five and thirty five degrees Celcius, while a gas fired central heating radiator requires a temperature of something like 65 and 75 degrees C to heat a same sized room.

BENEFITS OF UNDERFLOOR HEATING

Underfloor Heating Downham Market Norfolk (PE38)

Consistent Heat: A radiator heats up the air directly next to it and uses convection to warm the whole room, frequently creating cold areas. The floor level heating mats or pipes of an underfloor heating system consistently warm the air over the whole floor area which then rises upwards all through the room.

Costs Less to Run: These underfloor solutions are better for the environment and cost less to run, as they operate at lower temperatures to deliver the same warming benefits.

Ease of Use: You have control of your heating at your fingertips in both electric and warm water underfloor heating installations with an automatic digital thermostat which on most systems can be linked to your smart phone. It can be pre-programmed in line with your needs at different times of day or year, giving you 24-hour control over your heating.

Lower Maintenance Requirements: Electric underfloor heating systems require almost no maintenance and should provide you with many years of hassle free use. To keep "wet" underfloor heating working at its optimum efficiency only periodic inspections are needed, unlike a radiator heated system which needs to be bled and flushed from time to time. Operating "wet" underfloor heating at lower temperatures also exerts 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: Radiators take up an astonishing amount of "dead" space in a room, around ten percent on average, which can be freed up for use by installing underfloor heating. Different types of underfloor heating can be used in living areas, bathrooms, conservatories and kitchens in Downham Market, and can combine with virtually any style of floor covering, from carpets to hard flooring. You can even use underfloor heating for exterior spaces on your property in Downham Market like summerhouses, patios or garages.

Better Air Quality: With gentle warmth rising from the floor upwards, underfloor heating produces what is called, radiant heat, which cuts down on air currents around a room. This reduces the quantity of pollen and dust moving around your home, establishing a far better environment.

WATER UNDERFLOOR HEATING SYSTEMS

Hot water is employed in this type of underfloor heating system, which are also called wet floor or hydronic systems by various manufacturers. These underfloor systems can be connected to a traditional central heating boiler if you have one already installed, or can be plumbed into air or ground source heat pumps in newer builds.

Water Underfloor Heating Downham Market (PE38)

Installing a water based system significantly increases the height of your floor as it's placed into a layer of thermal screeding poured over the subfloor. Because of this, many installers recommend water fed systems more for new builds in Downham Market, but for existing houses you can purchase slimmer pipe alternatives which might be suitable. The use of water based systems is increasing as an alternative technique for "whole house" heating in Downham Market. This is largely owing to their lower running costs, efficiency of heating rooms and greater thermal effect.

HYBRID UNDERFLOOR SYSTEMS IN DOWNHAM MARKET

builds in Downham Market are increasingly using a hybrid system of both water and electric underfloor heating in new build homes. Water fed systems are installed on ground floors and basements which have higher heating requirements, whilst upper level rooms and loft spaces use electric underfloor heating. The best efficiency for a "whole home" setup can be uniquely adapted to meet the needs of any home with a hybrid system.

PLANNING, DESIGN AND INSTALLATION

Before starting on any underfloor heating installation it's vital that a thermal heat loss survey is completed on your dwelling in Downham Market. A survey by an architect or qualified heating engineer will look for areas of your house that require additional insulation and also ascertain the perfect size of underfloor heating system for your needs. Areas such as conservatories or uninsulated rooms with a higher potential for heat loss will need a greater wattage system than those of a small bedroom/office space or a family room. The design of your underfloor heating system, electric, hybrid or water fed, will be determined by this survey which confirms the shape, size and heating requirements of the whole installation.

To eliminate thermal heat losses through the sub-floor it may be necessary to position insulation panels under any heat mats or pipe work. Using this insulation raises system efficiency by bringing down the warm-up or heating time by "pushing" the heat up into your room.

All electrical link-ups have to be performed by a Part P qualified NICEIC electrician, but electrical mats and water pipes can be installed by any skilled do-it-yourself enthusiast. It is always recommended that you use a professional installation company in Downham Market for your underfloor heating, who will abide by all the appropriate Health and Safety regulations and offer guarantees and warranties for their work and equipment. You should also factor into your plans the quality of aftercare, servicing and any warranty which are included with your super, new underfloor heating system.

IN CONCLUSION

Electric underfloor heating systems are particularly suited to existing property upgrades, attic conversions and extensions thanks to the simpler installation process requiring no connection to a hot water system. Water based underfloor heating systems are better for new build homes or major renovation works where the extra flooring allowance can be factored in during the design phase.

Underfloor heating systems are more energy efficient, have less running costs, are easily managed by digital thermostats and are considerably more reliable than traditional heating methods.

Regardless of your requirements; "whole home" heating, or installation to just one room, underfloor heating is an excellent choice when replacing your existing heating system.
