Radiant heat could help save you up to 40% on your heating bills thanks to the efficient way it warms a home. To summarise, unlike traditional radiators which can make a room feel chilly at times and too hot at other times, underfloor heating does not overheat – instead, it achieves the desired temperature set by you using a system-specific thermostat. Radiant heat provides warmth from the floor up throughout the room without any cold spots or stuffiness in the area being heated. This usually results in opening a window above the radiator to bring some fresh air in, and there we go again, letting all that energy paid to warm up the house escape out of the window. These lower temperatures consume less energy and can help keep your energy bills far lower.įurthermore, radiators heat the air nearest them first, which is why rooms heated by radiators are prone to “cold spots”, meaning that the air feels cold in the middle of the room and very hot next to the radiators. Traditional radiators need to be heated to a high temperature (between 65-75 degrees Celsius) in order to heat up a room effectively, whereas floor heating only needs to run at a temperature of 29 degrees Celsius or less, depending on the floor finish, in order to warm the room. Warm water systems pump gently heated water through pipes to create a comfortable temperature, whereas electric systems use electric heating cables installed beneath the floor to generate heat. Both provide heating in a room from the floor up for consistent, efficient warmth. There are two types of radiant heating, electric UFH and water-based systems.
