Heating solutions are widely available these days and there are plenty of options that are not only eco-friendly but also cheap to buy and run.
UFH is one of the most popular methods for heating new homes these days but is it worth installing under floor heating systems in your older more traditional home? It's worth considering all your options so let's think about UFH for a minute and consider the benefits.
Firstly, UFH is something that's relatively easy to install into a new home.
It will depend on your flooring as to whether or not it'll be an easy task to install in an older home.
Most of the time, it's placed when the house is being built so installing underfloor heating into a home with floors already laid could be a problem.
Having said that, plenty of people do opt for this and it doesn't seem to be something that's a big obstacle for installation teams.
These days, there is enough technology available to ensure that your UFH system is installed with minimal disruption to your every day life and this is one of the other reasons it's so popular.
Aside from anything else, UFH is actually cheaper to run because you don't have any heat escaping through open windows or doors etc.
For example, most older homes are installed with radiators, and more often than not, these radiators are by windows and doors meaning that hot air escapes and this costs you money.
If you install under floor heating, you'll find that the bills are cheaper because you don't have any of your hot air escaping - it's simply penetrated through your flooring keeping the entire home warm.
Having said that, you may not want to install it throughout your entire home and that's not a problem either - you can install it in just one or two rooms if you prefer.
UFH is certainly an option that you should consider.
It's relatively easy to install these days and because it's cheaper to use and much more eco-friendly, it's certainly an option that you should think long and hard about.
Take your time to discover all the options available to you and think things through carefully.
