HOW UNDERFLOOR HEATING WORKS
Underfloor heating (UFH) has existed in numerous forms over the centuries, however modern day underfloor heating works by circulating warm water through a series of continuous loops, fitted underneath your floor, creating a large surface that provides a radiant form of heat that heats your rooms from the floor upwards.
This radiant form of heating is more comfortable than the standard form of heat produced by radiators, which heat via convection, and draws the cold air across the floor before heating it and pushing the warm air up towards the ceiling with more potential areas of heat loss.
UFH RESPONSE TIMES
Whatever the type of underfloor heating system that you have in your property, you will notice that the heating response time is different to a standard radiator heating system. Particularly for screeded systems, response time is slower, so controls need to be set up to take this into account. This is normally done using a programmable or ‘set-back’ thermostat, which rather than turning the heating off completely, sets it back to a lower temperature on ‘off’ periods – this has the following advantages:
- Improved energy efficiency – the system only has to be ‘topped-up’ to meet the required temperature
- Improved response time
- Protects system from frost
- Keeps temperatures consistent
Using a programmable thermostat means you can set your desired temperature for any time of the day or night and the heating will automatically adjust in line with your instructions to the thermostat.
Homeowners Testimonial
“I was really worried about doing the UFH originally but my wife encouraged me to do it and we haven’t looked back since. We are very pleased with the system”.
