HOW CAN I SAVE MONEY ON MY HEATING BILL

By turning down your room thermostat by 1 degree, you can save around £50 a year on average.

To save money you can install on your current radiators TRVs (thermostaic raditior valves). These will allow you to more easily control the temperture in the room.

If there are rooms that are not in use, turn the radiator valve to its lowest setting in order to keep the occupied rooms warmer.

If you schedule your heating programs to turn off 30 minutes before bedtime and before you leave the house in the morning, it will reduce the overall cost of your bills.

UNDERFLOOR HEATING VS RADITORS

Underfloor heating can be more affordable and eco-friendly if it is installed correctly and partnered with suitable flooring material to conduct heat. Flooring made of stone, ceramic, engineered wood, or vinyl is ideal, but always double-check with your source before making a purchase.

When underfloor heating is connected with an advanced condensing boiler, Underfloor heating can be about 25% more efficient than radiators; when powered by a heat pump, it can be up to 40% more efficient.

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF UNDERFLOOR HEATING

Energy Efficient

When compared to traditional heating options, underfloor heating has significant energy efficiency advantages that can help cut expenses and energy usage. Furthermore, underfloor heating operates extremely efficiently because of the improved heat distribution, lowered working temperatures, and individual room controls.

The energy efficiency of underfloor heating can surpass that of standard radiator systems by up to 40%. In addition, the average monthly cost of operating underfloor heating for homeowners in the UK is approximately £7 to £15.

Space

Underfloor heating frees up your space by doing away with those bulky radiators. It utilises the space on your walls as much as possible or arranges furniture so that it is flush with the wall to create more floor space. Furthermore, no matter where you arrange your seats, you can be certain that everyone will remain toasty and warm thanks to underfloor heating.

Installing underfloor heating

Underfloor heating systems are surprisingly simple to install, despite them seeming complex. With expert help, you can have an Underfloor heating in your house operating for up to two days. However, some underfloor heating options, like sticky mats that only need to adhere to the underfloor, can be quickly installed.
