Electric Heating Systems

Underfloor heating has many advantages over other conventional heating methods like air venting, hydronic heating etc. This method allows for steady supply of warmth without having to press the controls all the time for minimizing or maximizing the temperature, as in conventional radiator.


Underfloor heating is far more soothing because it generates heat from below, which is the right way of heating. This is unlike the conventional air venting systems where heat comes from the top and the room finally becomes very stuffy. This becomes very uncomfortable, while the feet barely get the required warmth. Again for people who suffer from severe dust allergies, underfloor heating is the best way to enjoy warm, soothing floors that help to beat the winter chill.


This form of heating is a great energy saver and allows the running of the heater at a lower temperature that cut down by up to 20%. There are two types of underfloor heating namely


Water Underfloor Heating:

In this type of underfloor heating, water is used as the medium for transferring heat from the heater source to the rooms. Warm water is passed through Pex tubing that is installed across the house under the floors. This heating system works great in all kinds of floor surfaces like ceramic tiles, slate, stone and marble etc. Even timbre floors are suitable for underfloor heating systems provided they are well seasoned and kiln dried.


Electric Underfloor Heating:

This type of underfloor heating as the name indicates use electricity as the source of energy for heating. This is further divided into many different types like laminate electric radiant floor heating, under tile heating and under the carpet floor heating. While tile heating basically is done in kitchens and bathrooms, the carpet heating under the floor is done on carpeted floors like bedrooms, living rooms and so on.
