Underfloor Heating Vs Radiators

Radiator systems are the 20th century equivalent of a fireplace. They need your boiler or heat pump to supply hot water temperatures (60-80 degrees) so that they can emit heat into the room.

Water based Underfloor heating works differently, it is like having a huge radiator spread out beneath your floor. Underfloor heating can cover the entire floor space allowing it to use much lower water temperatures (35-45 degrees) to transmit heat throughout the room, making it the go to energy efficient and sustainable system of choice.

How Much does Underfloor Heating Cost to Install?

Many people have the perception that underfloor heating is incredibly difficult to install. Involving huge pipes with lots of digging, often leading to them thinking it will be a costly and stressful process. However, with a Wunda Rapid Response® system, this could not be further from the truth.

Underfloor Heating Energy Efficiency

Underfloor heating uses low (35-45 degree) water temperatures, making it a very eco-friendly system. It is the perfect partner for heat pumps as their optimum efficiency is producing water under 50 degrees.

On average, the running costs of water based underfloor heating systems will be around 25% less than radiators and 60% less than electric underfloor heating systems. When installing a Wunda Rapid Response® system which uses smart controls and zoning the savings can be up to 50%.
