Water underfloor heating systems, also known as wet or hydronic systems, are commonly chosen for new-builds, extensions and renovation projects. These systems use water for heating, therefore it offers versatility by seamlessly integrating with various heat sources, ranging from traditional boilers to modern sustainable technologies like solar thermal energy or heat pumps.
Underfloor water heating operates by circulating warm water through a network of interconnected pipes placed beneath the floor. These pipes are linked through a manifold to various heat sources, including traditional boilers and heat pumps. By connecting to a thermostat, users can choose their desired temperature, prompting the water to adjust its warmth accordingly.
The benefits of water underfloor heating include:
- Significant cost savings - approximately one third lower to run than electric underfloor heating.
- Energy efficient - operates at lower temperatures than radiators, and can potentially save up to 40% on heating bills compared to radiators.
- Provides even heat distribution
- Saves wall space
- Can be divided into zones
