Underfloor Heating Energy Efficient and Luxurious

Underfloor heating is a way of heating a space through the use of strong and flexible tubing that is embedded in the floor. It is efficient and affordable, offering numerous advantages over radiators. There are various types of underfloor heating systems available.

The best solution for you will depend on a range of factors including your project type, your current heating system and energy source. Working in conjunction with heat pumps and solar energy sources, UFH can offer an energy efficient and luxurious heating solution.

Suitable for most properties

One of the main benefits of underfloor heating systems is how it feels. As the heat gently emits upwards from the floor, it makes usually cold floors warm to the touch

Maximises space

Produces an even warmth without the need for radiators, eliminating any cold spots or draughts that are common with radiators

Efficiency

Warm water underfloor heating uses far lower flow temperatures than a radiator system, and because it covers a much larger surface area it is still able to heat the room effectively.

For this reason, UFH is around 25% more efficient than radiators.

Invisible

Underfloor heating systems are ‘invisible’ as the tube is hidden beneath the floor. This frees up wall space, ideal for open plan living and working where space is at a premium.

What Is Underfloor Heating and How Does It Work?

Underfloor heating warms a room from the ground up using a network of pipes (wet systems) or electric mats. It's hidden, efficient, and works particularly well with renewable systems like air source heat pumps. As local underfloor heating installers based in Worksop, we design systems tailored to your home’s layout and flooring type.

What Are the Different Types of Underfloor Heating?

There are two main types:

Is Electric Underfloor Heating Right for My Home?

Electric underfloor heating is ideal for smaller areas or rooms with limited floor buildup — like kitchens, bathrooms or extensions.
It’s quick to install and provides even heat. We supply, install and maintain electric systems for homes across Derbyshire and beyond.

How Much Does Underfloor Heating Cost?

The cost of underfloor heating can vary based on system type, floor area, and prep work. On average, electric systems cost less upfront but more to run, while wet systems have higher installation costs but lower running costs — especially when paired with heat pumps.

What’s a Manifold in Underfloor Heating?

A manifold is the heart of a wet underfloor heating system. It controls the flow of warm water to each loop or “zone.”
Our engineers install high-quality manifolds that ensure reliable temperature control across your home.

What’s the Difference Between Heating Mats and Wires?

Underfloor heating mats are mesh-like rolls with embedded cables – perfect for regular-shaped rooms. For awkward areas, loose-lay wires offer more flexibility. We’ll help you decide what’s best during your on-site survey.

How Long Does It Take to Install Underfloor Heating?

Installation time depends on the system and room size. For example, laying underfloor heating mats in a bathroom might take just a day. Larger, wet systems may take several days including screeding and curing.

Is Underfloor Heating Expensive to Run?

Running costs vary based on insulation, energy tariffs and whether you’re using electric or water-based systems. Wet systems combined with air source heat pumps are among the most energy-efficient choices for UK homes.

Can You Use Rugs with Underfloor Heating?

Yes – but stick to rugs with a low TOG rating and avoid heavy insulation. We’ll advise you on suitable flooring and coverings to get the best from your system.

What’s the Underfloor Heating Cost per m²?

Prices range from £50 to £130 per square metre depending on the system and floor finish. Get in touch for a no-obligation quote from your local underfloor heating specialists in Worksop.
