Underfloor heating is a wonderful thing to experience. There is nothing quite like stepping from a relaxing bath onto a pleasantly warm floor or returning from a chilly autumn walk to warm your toes on a cosy living room.

Underfloor heating turns your whole floor into a radiator and keeps everything at a comfortable and cosy temperature. BTM solutions are experienced installers of underfloor heating systems. Based in Southend, Essex, our qualified electricians are ready to help you experience the comfort of an underfloor heating system in your home.

Benefits of underfloor heating:

Underfloor heating works by turning your entire floor into a radiator. This large surface area allows your underfloor heating to operate at a much lower temperature than a traditional radiator. Combining your underfloor heating installation with a thermostat system allows you to maintain a constant, pleasant temperature. Due to its efficiency this temperature is often lower than that needed to maintain a comfortable temperature with wall mounted radiators. An underfloor heating installation can be 15-40% more energy efficient than a traditional central heating system.

Other benefits include:

• Energy efficient system that heats a room evenly. No more cold spots!
• Silent operation – no disturbances in the early hours with rattling pipework!
• Underfloor heating can be installed in almost any room.
• Great for allergy sufferers as it does not circulate dust and allergens.
• Space saving. Great for small rooms where wall space is at a premium and for those who prefer a sleek, uncluttered look.
• With no exposed edges or hot surfaces, underfloor heating is a much safer option for your home.
• Warm feet! A feeling that is hard to beat on cold days.

Who should install my underfloor heating?

Whilst there are DIY underfloor heating kits available, they can present a challenge to even the most experienced DIYers. To comply with Part P building regulations, a qualified and registered electrician must connect the underfloor heating system to the electrical supply to ensure safe installation. For most, the safest and simplest option is to have an experienced electrician perform the full installation of the underfloor heating system. A qualified electrician will have the skills and tools to complete your underfloor heating installation safely and to the highest standard. Using an electrician to install your underfloor heating also keeps you and your home safe. Underfloor heating is designed to operate safely in all areas of a home, including bathrooms and kitchens where water is present. A competent electrician will maintain the integrity of the system during installation to prevent the risk of electrical fire or shock in the future.
