Types of underfloor heating
Hydronic system
Hydronic underfloor heating systems works via pipes located beneath a floor filled with hot water. It’s more efficient than electric, with lower running costs but needs regular servicing.
Electric system
An electrical underfloor heating system usually uses heating cables or a heating mat, connected to the mains. More expensive to run than a hydronic system though easier to maintain.
Trench heating
Trench heating is an in-floor system typically installed around a room’s perimeter with a vent or grille to allow the heat to circulate evenly.
The advantages of high quality underfloor heating
High quality heating and cooling systems add lasting value to your home and comfort for those living there. In Australia, quality underfloor heating is energy-efficient and effective in heating single rooms or a whole house. Hidden from sight, they produce heated floors without wall heaters, giving a room an uncluttered feel. There are suitable systems for any flooring type and if you invest in a high-end system, it will pay off and deliver for decades.
How to choose underfloor heating that is right for you
A hydronic system is expensive to install but can be a great choice for a whole house, especially a new build with open-plan living. It is also less expensive to run, and designed to last for decades. For smaller spaces, an electrical system might be preferred, like that for bathroom underfloor heating, producing a heated tile floor for those early mornings. A trenched system adds a unique feature with vents and is especially good around glazed windows and doors. With underfloor heating, you can use ducted heat pump systems and thermostat control.
