1. Electric Underfloor Heating
Also known as a dry system, electric UFH uses heating cables or mats installed beneath the flooring. It is ideal for renovations and smaller spaces due to its ease of installation and quick response time.
2. Water Underfloor Heating
A wet system circulates warm water through a network of pipes beneath the floor. It is highly energy-efficient and works best in new builds or larger areas with a suitable subfloor structure.
Yes, underfloor heating is generally very low maintenance. Once installed, it operates efficiently with minimal upkeep. Unlike traditional radiators, there are fewer moving parts, which reduces the risk of breakdowns. Regular checks—such as ensuring there are no airlocks in water-based systems or monitoring thermostat settings—can help keep everything running smoothly
