Two main types of underfloor heating
1. Water-based
Water-based underfloor heating works on the basis of distributing a lower temperature of warm water through a circuit of pipes beneath the finished floor.
2. Electric
Electric underfloor heating is cheaper to install, but very expensive to run and therefore typically only suitable in a very small room which is used for short periods, such as a shower room.
Advantages of underfloor heating
- Safety – no burns or head injuries from falling onto the system
- Less dust – better for people with allergies
- Low flow temperatures – give greater efficiency
- Increased efficiency – gives lower running costs
- Frees up wall space – looks cleaner and less cluttered
- Warm feet – warm body
Why use Underfloor heating with heat pumps?
Heat pumps work more efficiently operating at low flow temperatures, and hence they are suited to underfloor heating systems.
