Imagine a cold winter’s morning, and instead of being greeted by a cold home, you wake up to a lovely warm inviting environment. Underfloor Heating offers a beautiful way to heat your home. But, is it reliable?
Let’s take a look at the factors you should consider.
Electric Underfloor Heating Systems
Firstly, what is Electric Floor Heating?
Underfloor Heating involves installing thin electric cables or mats beneath your flooring. These cables convert the electricity to heat, radiating the heat upwards to create a comfortable and efficient warmth.
It is suitable for a variety of flooring options. Including tiles, floating floors, carpet, vinyl, and more.
Factors Affecting Reliability
Several factors can affect the reliability of Underfloor Heating.
-
Installation:
Whilst not overly complicated to install, we always recommend engaging one of our trained contractors to complete the installation. Hotwire has a list of installers covering Australia. We strongly recommend you use one of our trained professionals to complete the installation.
-
Element:
The electrical standards in Australia are strict. Ensure that whichever company you choose adheres to all the relevant standards. The wrong product will certainly affect the reliability of your system.
The Thermostat is the only evidence that you have floor heating installed. There are a wide range of options and different models in the market. Make sure you choose a product that looks good and suits your home.
Benefits of Reliable Electric Underfloor Heating
A reliable electric UFH system boasts several advantages:
- Long lifespan: If installed correctly, Underfloor Heating can last for decades, and provide you with a luxurious home for years to come.
- Low maintenance: Underfloor Heating is maintenance-free. Your Thermostat will probably have a backup battery that needs changing occasionally, but other than that, no maintenance is required.
- Energy efficiency: Underfloor heating is quite energy efficient if you’ve got solar panels installed better.
- Comfort: If you’ve ever experienced floor heating you know it’s amazing. You won’t regret the decision.
- Space-saving: Unlike other forms of heating, no wall space is taken up by floor heating (other than the small Thermostat) so you have an invisible heating system.
