Underfloor Heating
Expert Underfloor Heating Installation and Maintenance
Underfloor heating is the ultimate solution for those seeking home comfort. Unlike traditional radiators, underfloor heating distributes warmth evenly across large surface areas, ensuring consistent heat in every corner of your room. This system works by utilizing either electric coils or wet pipes to radiate heat from the floor upwards. Ideal for wood or stone floors, it means you can say goodbye to cold feet and enjoy a comfortable indoor environment all year round. With the benefits of even heat distribution and an unobtrusive design, underfloor heating not only enhances comfort but also increases the efficiency of your heating system. Unlike radiators that take time to warm up, underfloor heating works faster and uses less energy, making it a more cost-effective solution for your home.

How does underfloor heating work?
Underfloor heating works by evenly distributing heat across the entire floor surface, creating a comfortable and consistent temperature throughout your room. Depending on the system type, it operates either through electric heating cables (dry system) or water-filled pipes (wet system) that are installed beneath the floor. The heat then rises gently, eliminating cold spots and maintaining a steady warmth without the need for bulky radiators. This method not only provides superior comfort but also maximises usable space and improves energy efficiency in your home.
What are the benefits of underfloor heating?
The benefits of underfloor heating extend beyond comfort. It offers even heat distribution, ensuring no cold areas in your home and maintaining a consistent temperature throughout the space. Because it operates at lower temperatures compared to traditional radiators, it is more energy-efficient, helping reduce energy consumption and utility costs. Underfloor heating also requires minimal maintenance and works perfectly under most flooring types, including tile, wood, and stone. Additionally, it creates a cleaner, clutter-free aesthetic since there are no visible radiators or pipes, making it ideal for modern and open-plan living spaces.
Is underfloor heating expensive to install?
The cost of underfloor heating installation depends on several factors, including the size of your property, the type of system (electric or water-based), and the existing flooring structure. While the initial installation may be higher than that of a traditional heating system, it is highly cost-effective in the long run. Thanks to its superior energy efficiency, underfloor heating can help reduce heating bills and deliver a more sustainable, low-maintenance heating solution for your home. Over time, homeowners often find that the comfort and energy savings outweigh the upfront cost.
How often should my underfloor heating system be serviced?
Underfloor heating systems generally require very little maintenance, especially electric systems. However, to ensure long-term performance and efficiency, it’s advisable to have regular checks — particularly if you have a wet (water-based) system. Annual inspections help identify potential issues early, maintain proper flow rates, and prevent airlocks or pressure problems. At Project275, we recommend a yearly service by our qualified engineers to keep your system running safely and efficiently all year round.
