Choosing Between Electric and Water-Based Underfloor Heating

When choosing whether to go with an electric or a water-based underfloor heating system, you will need to take into consideration the size and the shape of the room you want the system installed in, and whether the system is to be installed under an existing floor; as part of a refurbishment, or as a total new build.

Water-based underfloor heating systems tend to need more available depth in order to accommodate the size of the pipes. It’s slightly trickier to install than electric.

How to Install Electric Underfloor Heating

Electric underfloor heating can be easier to fit into smaller rooms, and rooms that have difficult spaces. It can be installed by competent DIYers, although we would always recommend that you should get a qualified electrician, or competent plumber to do the wiring.

How to Install Water-Based Underfloor Heatingşi

Water-based underfloor heating systems need to be installed by fully qualified plumbers like us here at CW Plumbing and Heating Services. It’s not just the installing of the pipes, but the connection up to the boiler, especially if you’re talking about a gas fired boiler. In this instance, not only should you use a qualified plumber, but one who is Gas Safe registered; again, like we are here at CW.
