Energy efficient underfloor heating systems are increasingly the heating system of choice for both domestic and commercial property owners.
Energy efficient underfloor heating systems – an overview
Clockwork Underfloor Heating supplies and installs energy efficient underfloor heating systems that help property owners to meet their environmental goals and minimise energy costs.
Working with contractors and specifiers such as property developers and architects, we plan, design and install the most appropriate underfloor heating system for their individual needs and ensure we meet their project deadlines. We also offer guidance and expertise to residential property owners who may be installing an energy efficient underfloor heating system for the first time.
At Clockwork Underfloor Heating we supply and install both wet systems (connected to the central heating supply) and dry systems (electric).
Benefits of underfloor heating systems
The benefits of underfloor heating systems include:
- Greater energy efficiency than traditional heating systems
- Lower running costs due to reduced energy consumption
- An even heat distribution across a room
- Faster heating
- Minimal maintenance
- Allergy friendly
- Space saving
- Comfort underfoot
Underfloor heating systems vs traditional heating methods
Many of the benefits of underfloor heating systems make them the preferred choice when compared to traditional heating methods, such as radiators and heaters.
Wet underfloor heating systems operate at lower water temperatures than traditional radiators which makes them more cost-effective and energy efficient. This is particularly ideal for larger spaces, and of benefit to individuals and companies focused on reducing their environmental impact.
Whereas the space directly next to a radiator or electric heater is very hot and the furthest away point is much cooler, with an underfloor heating system the heat is evenly distributed across a room. Hot radiators and heaters can also present a risk of burn or impact injuries, particularly in spaces inhabited or frequented by vulnerable people or children.
Underfloor heating systems are more hygienic than traditional radiators and heaters. The moisture and humidity at floor level that is generated by radiators and heaters is eradicated by switching to underfloor heating. There are also no surfaces on which grease and dust can accumulate.
Underfloor heating cost
Underfloor heating cost varies depending on the size of the space you are heating and the type of underfloor heating system you choose.
A wet underfloor heating system that is connected to a boiler circulates warm air from the central heating system. Because it operates at lower temperatures than radiators, it is cheaper to run.
A dry underfloor heating system can be more cost-effective for small spaces or rooms without access to plumbing.
As a quick guide:
Q: Which is cheaper to install – a dry or wet underfloor heating system?
A: A dry underfloor heating system.
Q: Which is cheaper to run – a dry or wet underfloor heating system?
A: A wet underfloor heating system.

PROJECT FOCUS
High end Residential, Manchester
We planned and installed an underfloor heating system into a contemporary home in Manchester. Not only that, we finished the installation with a smooth, even and high quality liquid floor screed.
Our team worked with the end user’s architect, ensuring the home benefitted with a visually striking but also inherently comfortable and environmentally conscious heating solution.
The client now enjoys an enhanced living experience, reduced energy bills, and an aesthetically uncompromised living space that flows through the whole house.
