1.How much does it cost to run?
This is one of the most common questions about underfloor heating we get & the simple answer is that the running costs are determined by many different factors, however in the majority of cases the running costs should not be a negative factor. A typical new building would perhaps cost around £3-£4 per m² per year to run, so 100 m² free floor area home would cost around £300-£400 per year to heat.
In a conservatory with an insulated floor, electric underfloor
heating will be more efficient than radiators due to the fact that
you are using the whole floor as a low temperature radiant room
heater. In an average sized conservatory used at weekends &
winter evenings, the cost may be up to £8 per sqm/annum to run – so
around £80 – £100 per year.
Electric floor heating stands out as an excellent choice,
especially in areas where there is no mains gas supply & the
options are electric, oil, or calor gas.
Electric underfloor heating is also more efficient than radiators
& other convected heat & requires no maintenance or
servicing & 100% of the electrical energy is turned into heat
energy. It is inevitable that more electricity will have to be
produced from greener energy sources such as wind power & so in
the future, electric underfloor heating should be one of the
‘greenest’ ways to heat your home.
2.What is the warm up time?
How long it takes to heat the floor will vary, depending on your sub-floor & its insulation. The better the insulation the quicker it will heat up, 30 minutes to an hour on a wooden floor, but it may take several hours on an un-insulated concrete floor. However, on concrete floors it will also retain the heat in the concrete & therefore take much longer to cool down. Warm-up times can be drastically reduced. To as little as 15-20 minutes using an insulated tile-backer board such as Handyheat Tilebacker board.
Why does it seem to be cheaper than other methods of heating?
The reason is that it is cheaper. Cheaper than a majority of heating systems. Considering the basic parameters such as the investment and operating costs, speed and method of installation, precise and easy control, no failures and worries, absolutely no maintenance, no chimney and its revisions, no dangerous gas, no heat exchangers or any other facilities occupying the space in your house – you will not find any similar high-quality alternative for modern living at a comparable price.
The solution based on the heating carbon film is best chosen for well thermally insulated buildings, preferaby as early as in the designing stage, when it is possible to take into account and meet all requirements as a whole. This is the only way to guarantee your satisfaction in all regards.
