Mick and his team have completed many jobs for us over the years. They always do a very neat job and are one of our most reliable trades.

- Helen and Ian, Ringwood North

We had the under-tile heating installed as part of our bathroom reno and its wonderful on a cold morning. It turns on before I’m out of bed and it’s only on for as long as we need it.

FAQ’S

Frequently asked questions

Electric underfloor heating offers even, energy-efficient warmth by distributing heat across the entire floor surface. It eliminates cold spots, reduces reliance on traditional radiators, and allows for better interior design flexibility. The system operates silently and can be controlled via smart thermostats, ensuring optimal comfort and efficiency. Additionally, it enhances air quality by reducing dust circulation, making it ideal for allergy sufferers. Electric systems are low-maintenance, easy to install in renovations, and work well under various flooring types. Overall, underfloor heating provides a modern, luxurious heating solution with improved energy efficiency and comfort.

Electric underfloor heating operates using a network of heating cables or mats installed beneath the floor surface. When powered, the cables generate radiant heat, which warms the flooring and gradually spreads throughout the room. The system is controlled via a thermostat, allowing users to set specific temperatures for optimal comfort and energy efficiency. Unlike traditional radiators, which heat the air unevenly, underfloor heating distributes warmth evenly across the entire space. It can be installed under tile, laminate, wood, or carpeted floors, making it a versatile option for residential and commercial spaces.
Yes, electric underfloor heating is safe when installed correctly by a qualified professional. The system operates at low wattage, reducing the risk of overheating. Heating elements are encased in protective insulation layers, preventing direct exposure. Additionally, most systems include built-in safety mechanisms such as thermal cutoffs and RCD (Residual Current Device) protection, which automatically shuts off power in case of faults. Since the heating is embedded beneath the floor, there are no exposed wires or hot surfaces, making it safe for households with children and pets. Proper installation and adherence to manufacturer guidelines ensure long-term safety and reliability.
Electric underfloor heating is compatible with various flooring types, including tiles, laminate, engineered wood, vinyl, and carpet. Tiles and stone are the most efficient as they conduct and retain heat well. Laminate and engineered wood are also suitable but require temperature regulation to prevent warping. Vinyl and carpet can be used, but they should have a low thermal resistance to ensure effective heat transfer. When selecting flooring, it’s essential to check manufacturer recommendations to ensure compatibility with underfloor heating systems, ensuring optimal performance and durability.
The installation cost of electric underfloor heating varies depending on the size of the area and the system type. Running costs depend on electricity rates and usage, but underfloor heating is generally efficient, especially when paired with a smart thermostat.
Electric underfloor heating systems have an average lifespan of 25 to 30 years when installed correctly. Since they have no moving parts, they require minimal maintenance, reducing the likelihood of breakdowns. The longevity of the system depends on proper installation, the quality of heating elements, and the type of flooring used. Many manufacturers offer long warranties, often covering the system for 10 to 20 years. With appropriate care and regular inspections, underfloor heating can last for decades, providing consistent and efficient warmth throughout its lifespan.
Underfloor heating is suitable for various rooms, including bathrooms, kitchens, living rooms, and bedrooms. It’s particularly beneficial in bathrooms due to its ability to keep tiles warm and dry, preventing moisture buildup. In living spaces, it enhances comfort by providing consistent warmth without the need for bulky radiators. It’s also ideal for open-plan areas, as it distributes heat evenly. Bedrooms benefit from underfloor heating as it operates silently, ensuring a cozy environment without disruptions. Whether for full-home heating or supplemental warmth, electric underfloor heating enhances comfort in virtually any indoor space.
Installing electric underfloor heating involves several key steps. First, the subfloor is prepared, ensuring it is clean, dry, and level. A layer of insulation is typically added to improve efficiency. Heating mats or cables are then laid out according to the room’s layout, ensuring even heat distribution. Once positioned, the system is connected to a thermostat and electrical supply by a qualified electrician. A thin layer of self-leveling compound may be applied to secure the elements before the final flooring is installed. After testing the system, it’s ready to provide efficient, even warmth throughout the space.
