Underfloor heating in Richmond & surrounding areas
Underfloor heating has become increasingly popular over the past few years, and with good reason. As well as being an efficient and comfortable way to heat your home, underfloor heating saves you space – you can wave goodbye to space-hungry radiators dictating how you need to position your furniture.
Underfloor heating also works perfectly with heat pumps, making it an excellent choice for those who want to reduce their energy bills and protect the planet.
However, it can be more challenging to install than you might expect. Incorrectly chosen, installed, or operated underfloor heating may mean rooms that feel too hot or cold, ‘cold patches’ throughout your home and higher energy bills!
We have the knowledge, training, and experience to get your underfloor heating right the first time and designed to suit YOUR needs. Whether installing a brand-new underfloor heating system or repairing an existing one, we give each job the same focus and take the time to get it right for you. After all, every building, family, and heating demand is different, and given the expense and work involved, your underfloor heating needs to be right the first time.
We are the Richmond underfloor heating experts you need
Having repaired an increasing number of underfloor heating systems in Richmond over the past few years, we are now registered underfloor heating engineers with a passion for avoiding the mistakes we have seen others make.
It all comes down to making your home as comfortable as possible in the most efficient way. We can do this with your existing gas boiler or heat pump and by changing your thermostatic controls.
We always recommend using proactive external temperature sensors instead of multiple internal thermostats. This means your heating responds to the temperature outdoors to keep your home at a constant temperature all year round. It’s a more efficient way to operate your heating, meaning your home’s temperature is spot-on all year round.Many people are surprised to learn that underfloor heating behaves very differently from traditional central heating with radiators. That’s why we will teach you how to use your underfloor heating so you can get the most out of your investment.
Focused on the underfloor heating facts
Our approach is based on knowledge and honesty. We will not install anything without complete confidence that it is the right thing to do.
So, the first step is always a thorough survey.
This will cover:
- Heat loss calculations based on the fabric of your home – walls, windows, leaks, insulation, tested based on different outside temperatures.
- Heating output requirements – the size of your home and usage to get the right size pump, pipes, and radiators.
- Evaluating your boiler or heat pump to assess whether it needs upgrades.
- Creating your underfloor heating system design and control system.
- If we are optimising an existing system, we will upgrade your boiler and control system to make them work effectively.
- Installation cost projections.
We’ll explain your options thoroughly. Once you’ve decided to go ahead, you can expect professional expert installation, support, and training on how to get the best out of your new, super-efficient heating system.
