Do We Install UnderFloor Heating Systems?

Yes, at Floor Levelling Sydney, we can install UnderFloor Heating Systems before Levelling your floor. Learn EVERYTHING you need to know on this page!

What Is An UnderFloor Heating System?

Underfloor Heating Systems work by distributing a lower temperature of warm water through a circuit of pipes beneath the finished floor. Concrete has a high thermal mass meaning it will store and distribute heat extremely well. Heat is monitored and controlled by intelligent thermostats to maintain a consistent temperature throughout the property or individual zones. Any heat source can be used including conventional boilers and renewable ground/air heat source pumps.

Underfloor Heating Systems will ensure your rooms will stay warm for longer after your heating is switched off than would be the case with a traditional heating system. For this to be consistently effective we either recommend our in-slab or in-screed systems. These systems can be used for a full slab.

Floor Levelling products are poured on top of the Underfloor Heating Systems to ensure the concrete is at the correct height while protecting the Underfloor Heating System.

What Are The Benefits Of Using An UnderFloor Heating System?

Improved heat distribution – As the heating system is underneath the entire floor, if it is well planned and installed, heat will be nicely and evenly distributed throughout the home. This will keep your feet warm all year round and take the chill off the cold concrete.

Interior design – With no need for traditional heaters like radiators, a minimalist design is created offering a high-end, luxurious look. As no space restrictions are created, the design of the home remains non-impacted. No radiators, grills, or vents that can become visibly dirty are on display. Everything related to the heating is below the floor.

Cost-effective – Although the outlay may be expensive with installation costs, in the long run, underfloor heating is highly cost-effective. heating bills will be lower, therefore, saving you money.

Comfort – Temperature can be adjusted depending on preference and time of year. Concrete’s thermal mass also allows you to reduce the temperature, creating a cooler home when desired. All of this can provide you with high levels of comfort while consuming significantly less energy. It’s also a win-win for the environment.

Quietness – Traditional heating systems, including radiators, often tend to grunt and groan as they work. Underfloor heating systems are quite the opposite and are generally quieter. Your home will become noticeably silent, filled simply with pure luxurious warmth.

Health and safety – Underfloor heating is both child and pet-safe. No flames or hot surfaces will be exposed within your home, providing you with less worry about a chance of an individual being burned or hurt.

There is no doubt that underfloor heating provides the safest, cleanest, and most luxurious heat available. It is hidden away and does not impede the design of a room or house. Simply pure luxurious warmth.

How Much Does A UnderFloor Heating Systems Cost?

UnderFloor Heating Systems will generally require two sets of Levelling:

SET 1: Underneath the heating system, to ensure it’s a perfectly flat surface that we are installing the heating system on

SET 2: On top of the heating system, to cover the heating system and to ensure you have a perfectly flat surface to install your new flooring system on

The below factors are taken into account when pricing an UnderFloor Heating System Installation:
– PARKING (ON-SITE, PAID or STREET?)
– CAN POWER BE PROVIDED ON-SITE? (YES/NO)
– HOW MANY SQUARE METRES ARE REQUIRED?
– LIFT or STAIRS? and what LEVEL? / or / EASY ACCESS?
– WHAT FLOORING SYSTEM IS BEING INSTALLED ON TOP
– WHAT LEVEL OF POWER? (10AMP, 15AMP, 3PHASE or GENERATOR?)
– WHAT UNDERFLOOR HEATING SYSTEM (MAKE/MODEL) DO YOU REQUIRE?

As we cannot use our Floor Levelling machines, spiked boots, or spikey rollers due to the risk of damaging the heating wires, the method of Floor Levelling will incur an additional 10% fee.

–  You must organise an electrician to install and connect the thermostat.

– You must ensure that the electrician connects a live tester that needs to stay connected at all times during Floor Levelling to prevent any issues

– UnderFloor Heating Systems should not be installed on an unlevel surface due to the need for heating elements to be submerged evenly throughout the Floor Levelling compound.
