How to Choose the Best Underfloor Heating Option for your Needs?
A significant part of a Hydronic Floor heating costs is fixed, meaning that the cost remains similar no matter the size of the area to heat. A gas boiler is an example of a fixed cost that hardly changes when the heat surface size increases. For this reason the bigger the surface, the less expensive the rate per m2.
This is an important difference with Electric Floor heating, where the rate per m2 remains the same as the heated surface increases. This is the reason why Hydronic Floor Heating is a better alternative to Electric Floor Heating with surface over 60m2.
Thermostats
Another factor in the efficiency of your floor heating system is a high quality thermostat. This will allow you to heat specific rooms independently and program each room needs accordingly.
We recommend non-programmable thermostats for your hydronic underfloor heating installation because most hydronic heating systems are “set and forget” systems. These thermostats can be linked to your home automation systems.
A good quality thermostat will give greater control over temperature, zoning and timing, allowing you to make the most our of your floor heating system.
