Benefits of underfloor heating systems
If you are undecided about whether an underfloor heating system is right for you, here are some of the benefits of underfloor heating systems:
- Underfloor heating systems are energy efficient
- By distributing radiant heat from the ground, heat loss is minimised which results in reduced energy consumption
- Underfloor heating systems work to lower temperatures (around 35-45°C) than traditional radiators (around 65-75°C) which further enhances their energy efficiency
- Because of the energy efficiencies, it is cheaper to run an underfloor heating system, particularly when compared to radiators
- Underfloor heating systems, particularly those under a screed that acts as a thermal mass, can store heat which allows it to maintain a comfortable temperature for some time after the system has been switched off
- Without the need for radiators, underfloor heating saves wall space in rooms which allows for more versatility in décor and furniture layout. The lack of bulky radiators also improves the aesthetic of rooms
- Underfloor heating distributes heat evenly throughout a room making the environment far cosier and more comfortable, whereas radiators create hot and cold spots
- For homes with young children, pets or older people, the absence of radiators removes the risk of burns
- Underfloor heating is virtually maintenance free.
Underfloor heating cost
Underfloor heating cost depends on your choice of underfloor heating system.
Clockwork Underfloor heating supplies two types of underfloor heating system: wet and dry.
Wet underfloor heating systems
A wet underfloor heating system is connected to a boiler and circulates warm water from the central heating system through a network of pipes.
Wet underfloor heating systems cost more than dry systems to install, but the cost of running a wet underfloor heating system is lower. For this reason, a wet underfloor heating system is ideal for larger homes and rooms.
Dry underfloor heating systems
Dry underfloor heating systems run off the electricity supply to distribute heat through a system of cables, ribbons and films. Dry underfloor heating systems are cost-effective to install but generate higher running costs. A dry underfloor heating system is ideal for small rooms or areas without plumbing such as a new extension or conservatory.
When it comes to maintenance, underfloor heating cost is minimal. Just occasional servicing is recommended to optimise performance and protect the longevity of the system.
