5 Signs It's Time to Upgrade Your Heating System to Underfloor Heating

Is your current heating system no longer cutting it? As homeowners across the UK seek smarter, more energy-efficient ways to stay warm, underfloor heating is becoming an increasingly popular upgrade. Whether you're renovating, building from scratch, or just fed up with cold feet in the winter, here are five telltale signs it’s time to consider switching to underfloor heating — and why Fastwarm should be your go-to provider.

1. Your Energy Bills Are Climbing Every Year

One of the biggest indicators that your current heating setup is outdated is the impact on your wallet. Traditional radiators often need to be run at higher temperatures to effectively heat a space, especially in older homes. Underfloor heating systems, like those from Fastwarm, operate efficiently at lower temperatures, offering consistent warmth across the room while reducing your energy usage — and your bills.

2. You’re Planning a Home Renovation or Extension

If you’re already making changes to your home — whether that’s a kitchen remodel, bathroom update, or a new extension — it’s the perfect time to rethink your heating system. Installing underfloor heating during a renovation is straightforward, and Fastwarm offers both electric and water underfloor heating kits to suit every room and budget.

3. You Struggle with Cold Spots and Uneven Heating

Radiators tend to create uneven temperature zones — hot near the unit, cold by the door or window. Underfloor heating distributes warmth evenly across the entire floor surface, eliminating cold patches and improving overall comfort. Say goodbye to huddling by the radiator and hello to cosy toes all winter long.

4. Your Radiators Are Taking Up Valuable Wall Space

Sleek interior design often clashes with bulky wall-mounted radiators. Underfloor heating frees up space, giving you more flexibility with furniture placement and décor. If you're looking for a cleaner, more minimalist look in your home, it’s time to go underfloor.

💡 Fastwarm’s low-profile systems are ideal for retrofitting without raising floor levels significantly.

5. You Want a Future-Proof Heating Solution

With energy efficiency and sustainability top of mind for many homeowners, underfloor heating is a smart investment. It works well with renewable energy sources like heat pumps, and with no moving parts or annual servicing required, it’s low-maintenance and built to last.
