Is electric underfloor heating worth it?

Electric underfloor heating is worth the money and time. Heating up a room quite nicely, electric underfloor heating systems can generate enough heat to easily create a comfortable living environment. Higher wattage/output heating kits are also capable as a primary source of heat in a home or business.

How many years does electric underfloor heating last?

Electric underfloor heating systems are a long-lasting method of heating a home or business and can last decades before any replacement is needed. Many of these systems also come with a lifetime warranty, protecting against any issues that may arise in the future.

Can electric underfloor heating go under tiles?

Electric underfloor heating can go under tiles, with tiles being the number one floor type to install underfloor heating under. Tiles are known to heat up fast and work well to retain heat, ensuring the underfloor system will be effective and efficient for warming up a home or business.

Is electric underfloor heating more efficient than radiators?

Electric underfloor heating is as good as radiators, and in many instances, even better. Electric underfloor heating offers many advantages over the classic radiator, such as providing even heat throughout a room - removing cold spots and draughts, improving hygiene by removing the need to install a traditional radiator - known to circulate dust and dirt throughout the air and overall it is a more energy-efficient way of heating particularly when paired with a heat pump. Find out more in our guide to radiators vs underfloor heating.

Are electric heated floors expensive to run?

Electric underfloor heating is not expensive to run and can be seen to be a more energy-efficient method of heating a home. Studies have shown that the yearly cost to run electric underfloor heating in a bathroom is less than the yearly cost for running common household appliances such as a washing machine, fridge or even the kettle!

Should I leave electric underfloor heating on all the time?

The jury is out on whether you should leave electric underfloor heating on all the time, but there are arguments to say the most efficient way to run an electric underfloor heating system is to leave it on constantly at a low temperature, usually around 17 degrees room temperature, and bump it up to 20 degrees for a couple of hours in the morning or night when activity is peak within the home. This is because it often will take a while for the underfloor heating system to heat up to maximum efficiency and so keeping it on in the background at a lower temperature will allow the mat to warm up much quicker from 17 degrees to 20 degrees than it would if the mat had to go from 0 degrees to 20 degrees.
