We offer both water and electric systems that are fully compatible with oil, gas and renewable energy sources. No matter how you want to power your underfloor heating system we have you covered.
Our priority at TotalUFH.com is to provide the right underfloor heating solution for you and we are here to support you throughout and beyond your project.
Why underfloor heating?
Underfloor heating offers a great and affordable way to keep your home warm and is suitable for a wide range of projects. You can enjoy the luxury of warm floors on a cold winter’s morning. zero cold spots and complete design freedom with no traditional radiators to consider. For more advice on which underfloor heating system is the best fit for your home, check out our Why Underfloor Heating page.
Benefits of Underfloor Heating
The benefits of underfloor heating are wide ranging and include:
Choosing your heating source
UNDERFLOOR HEATING WITH A GAS BOILER
Underfloor heating can be installed alongside your traditional gas boiler. We can work with you to discuss the suitability of your current boiler and its heating capacity. Combining underfloor heating with a condensing boiler can be particularly beneficial, being cheaper to run than radiators and achieving efficiencies of over 90%.
UNDERFLOOR HEATING WITH OIL
Underfloor heating can also be installed alongside a conventional oil boiler. Underfloor heating systems distribute heat more evenly as they don’t need to heat the water to as high a temperature as traditional radiators. This makes your boiler more efficient.
UNDERFLOOR HEATING WITH RENEWABLE TECHNOLOGIES
Renewable underfloor heating solutions are a great alternative to oil and gas boilers, and are much more energy efficient. There are a number of options available, which work really well with underfloor heating including heat pumps, solar thermal, solar PV and biomass.
Heat Pumps, either air source or ground source are arguably the most efficient way to power your underfloor heating system as they efficiently produce water at the ideal temperature for underfloor heating.
Find out more about the renewable options available below.
Renewable Options
Ground source and air source heat pumps
Heat pumps work by extracting solar energy stored naturally in the ground or air. As well as providing a low carbon footprint, installation of a heat pump can help you save on your energy bill.
Combining a heat pump with your underfloor heating system is the perfect solution to maximise energy-saving and reduce heating bills. Running at a much lower temperature than a traditional radiator system, heat pumps provide the ideal temperature for underfloor heating.
Solar Thermal
Solar Thermal systems benefit their owners by offering highly efficient hot water provision, with extremely reliable and trusted technology. Solar Thermal also has minimal running costs which are predictable due to avoiding the need for fuel with volatile and unpredictable pricing.
The biggest benefit of using solar thermal in conjunction with an underfloor heating system is the reduced energy bills.
Solar PV
Solar PV is another renewable energy option that can reduce your energy bills and provide protection against rising energy costs.
Solar PV uses daylight to generate electricity(DC), we use inverters to convert the energy produced by the Solar panels into electricity that can be used in the household(AC). This guaranteed system keeps maintenance costs low and an average system life of 20 years.
