Underfloor Heating Torquay

Underfloor Heating Torquay Devon (TQ1): A cost effective and efficient way to warm your property in Torquay, is to install underfloor heating. It can be used as a supplementary source of heating coupled with radiators, or can be put in as a whole house heating system to take the place of radiators and other heating methods. You can choose between water or electric systems for your underfloor heating installation.

The benefit of a consistent and efficient heating system warming from the floor up, can be accomplished with both warm water and electric underfloor systems. Underfloor heating requires less power to run than a standard radiator because it doesn't need to operate at such high temperatures. In normal circumstances a correctly sized and designed underfloor heating system will run at approximately 25 to 35 degrees Celcius, while a gas central heating radiator requires an effective temperature of between 65-75 degrees Celsius to heat a room of similar dimensions.

Consistent and Uniform Heat: A traditional hot water radiator warms the air close to the radiator's surface first, and then rises before dispersing slowly around the room which can easily create cold spots. The floor level heating mats or pipes of an underfloor heating system uniformly heat the air over the whole floor area which then rises throughout the room.

Cheaper Running Costs: They operate at lower temperatures to produce the equivalent heating benefits of traditional central heating, and thus are more eco-friendly and cheaper to run.

Ease of Use: Both electric and water underfloor installations are managed and controlled by a digital programmable thermostat. You'll benefit from full control of your heating system, and you can even pre-programme your heating to suit cooler times of day or adjust automatically to the different demands of the seasons.

Lower Maintenance Requirements: Generally providing several years of hassle free service which requires little or no maintenance, electric underfloor heating systems are a reliable kind of heating your home in Torquay. Water heating systems might need occasional inspections to make certain things are working properly, but there is no air bleeding of radiators or flushing to worry about. The lower operating temperatures also puts less pressure on gas boilers and alternative heating methods (air/ground source heat pumps etc), therefore meaning that they're more reliable and longer lasting.

Ideal For Any Room: Smaller rooms can seem bigger by freeing up the 10% of dead space that exists around traditional hot water radiators which can't be used, through the installation of underfloor heating. The point that underfloor heating can be used with just about any floor covering also makes it ideal for kitchens, conservatories, bathrooms and living rooms in Torquay. You can even opt for a fully waterproof underfloor heating setup for warming up your garage, patio or summer house in Torquay.

Healthier Air Quality: Underfloor heating generates radiant heat from floor level, which reduces the thermal air currents like those caused by electric halogen heaters or standard radiators. This minimises the amount of pollen and dust particles moving around your home, establishing a far healthier environment.

The installation of underfloor heating and deciding on which is right for you frequently depends on exactly how much work you're willing to undertake on your project. Being easier and quicker to design and install, electric underfloor heating systems could be just the thing for small projects in Torquay. It is also a simple solution for retrofitting into an existing building in Torquay. If you're going to be laying a new floor in a renovation project or new build property, water fed underfloor heating will be a more suitable choice.

An electric underfloor heating system in Torquay is easy and quick to install, requiring only a link-up to a digital thermostat and the electricity mains supply. It can be readily retrofitted into existing structures and is a good solution all underfloor projects. It can sometimes be an excellent alternative for a loft conversion or spare room which does not get used on a daily basis.

In barely more than 30 minutes a system of electric heating mats can be installed. The heating mats come in rolls which are spread out on the sub-floor or insulating layer, and then simply get them connected to a suitable mains power supply by an experienced person. Different sorts of underfloor heating mats are available for varying floor surfaces and your underfloor heating installation specialist in Torquay will be able to give you advice on which sort is better for your home.

Loose cable electrical heating wire is good for unusually shaped rooms which can be tricky to cut mats to the correct size. An insulating pad is laid down and a single cable heating element is mounted onto it in "runs" before it is covered over by the final flooring finish. A digital room based thermostat will be installed and the cable wired up to an appropriate electric point or spur by a fully qualified electrician.

Electric underfloor heating can be standalone systems in each room, or can be assimilated into a whole home system with control from a single point. If you're planning to install a smart home system in your property in Torquay, it is simple to integrate metering information and electric underfloor thermostats into your blueprints.

Water fed underfloor heating, also often known as wet floor or hydronic systems employ hot water to warm up your property. The equipment can be linked to a conventional boiler if you have already got one installed, or are just a effective when used in conjunction with air or ground source heat pumps in new build properties.

Water fed systems are installed into the flooring screed and as such produce a greater thickness of floor. Due to this, a lot of installers recommend wet floor systems more for new build homes in Torquay, although for older houses you can purchase slender pipe options which could be suitable. The use of wet systems is now increasing as a method of "whole house" heating in Torquay. This is thanks to their greater thermal effect, lower operating costs and higher efficiency.

A mixture of electric and water underfloor heating methods can be used in the creation of a hybrid system. Basements and ground floors which have greater requirements on heating energy utilise wet underfloor systems, whilst spare rooms and bedrooms have electric underfloor heating installed. The heating requirements of pretty much any home in Torquay can be satisfied through the use of a hybrid underfloor heating system.

If you're looking into the possibility of installing an underfloor heating system to any room of your house in Torquay, it is crucial that you perform a heat loss survey. An accredited heating engineer or architect will conduct the survey to determine any extra levels of insulation required and the size of heating system you will be needing. High heat loss areas, for example conservatories, will need a larger wattage than that of internal living spaces. The shape, dimensions and heating requirements of the water pipes or electric mats will be based upon this on-site survey and is an important part of the design stage.

To lessen thermal losses through the sub-floor it might be necessary to place insulation boards beneath any pipes or heat mats. Using these insulation boards boosts the efficiency of the system by lowering the heating or warm-up time by essentially "pushing" the heat upwards into your rooms.

There are DIY possibilities for installing underfloor heating systems, but it's essential that any electrical connections are only made by a certified electrician who is NICEIC/Part P qualified. It is always recommended that you use an experienced installation provider in Torquay for all of your underfloor heating requirements, who will follow all of the appropriate Health & Safety procedures and provide guarantees for their work. Despite the overall reliability of underfloor heating it's still imperative that you consider the quantity of warranty and aftercare, such as servicing, that is offered by your installation company.

Owners of existing homes in Torquay who are considering underfloor heating ought to look at electric systems, due to their reduced floor thickness needs and their ease of installation. New builds are more suited to wet floor systems that are much more easily incorporated into newly laid floorings.

Either of these kinds of underfloor heating will save you money on conventional heating methods, and provide consistent heating which is easily monitored and controlled.

If you are considering upgrading your heating setup, or just wish to warm up a cold part of your house, an underfloor heating system is the perfect option.
