Over the past few years underfloor heating has turned from a luxury compliment to a mainstream solution.
As registered Polypipe underfloor heating installers we regularly get asked about the benefits.
Does it actually work?
How much does it cost to run?
What happens if it goes wrong?

Here at Solutions Plumbing And Heating we look to bust some of the underfloor heating myths and explain how it can benefit your home life.

Low maintenance:
Once installed and correctly commissioned, underfloor heating will continue to operate by itself. Any maintenance required will be above ground floor level on the manifold, which should be installed in an easily accessible location.

Energy savings & improved air quality:
Underfloor heating loses less heat through the building fabric and provides a healthier, less stuffy atmosphere. It provides a comfortable, clean warmth with reductions in fuel bills of up to 20%.

Renewable energy:
For those looking to provide sustainable energy, underfloor heating can be paired with a renewable energy source such as air source heat pumps or a geothermal system, as these typically require lower water temperatures than traditional space heating methods.

Wall space matters:
Underfloor heating allows complete freedom of interior design with no radiators taking up valuable wall space.

Mix & match:
Underfloor heating can be installed in one room, throughout the entire building, or solely in your new extension. It has the flexibility to team up with your existing radiator type central heating system. Both systems can be precisely controlled independently of each other.

Easy to install:
Systems can now be installed with a wide range of floor types new or existing. It is no more complicated than fitting a radiator.

Underfloor heating is now a readily available alternative to the traditional radiator installation.
