Why is underfloor heating considered cost effective?

Out of the many types of equipment used to warm home, underfloor heating has become synonymous with the phrase “luxury comfort”. Delivering radiant warmth while streamlining the aesthetics of living spaces by keeping installations hidden from sight, underfloor heating has become the gold standard for the latest high-value properties. However, underfloor heating also offers tangible benefits for penny-wise homeowners seeking to shave money off their utility bills. Read on to understand why this innovative solution also has a reputation for being cost efficient.

Radiant heat technology

Underfloor heating systems use less energy to warm rooms than radiator-based systems. Systems use most energy at start-up but afterwards, require only minimal top ups to keep heat levels at comfortable temperature. Less energy use means lower bills.

Feeling the heat

Unlike wall radiators, underfloor heating transforms the whole floor into a radiator, avoiding any cold patches. Residents feel the heat gently but directly through their feet feeling the benefits immediately. Well-chosen floor covering also retain heat for longer. This comprehensive method of heating means homeowners are comfortable more quickly and continuously requiring less system use and reducing costs.

Smart technology

The latest underfloor heating technology can allow users to access smart thermostats and zoned systems. These options ensure heating is only used when and where required, putting people in control of how much they spend.
