Even heat distribution eliminates cold spots, providing a comfortable and cosy environment.
Aesthetic appeal:
Under floor heating is invisible, freeing up wall space and allowing for flexible interior design.
Compatibility:
Suitable for various flooring types, including tiles, stone, engineered wood, and laminate.
Health benefits:
Reduced air circulation minimises dust and allergens, creating a healthier indoor environment.
Our underfloor heating installation process:
1. Comprehensive consultation:
- Contact: Reach out via phone, email, or our website to discuss your under floor heating needs.
- Information gathering: Provide details about the areas you wish to heat, the size of the rooms, and your preferences for heating systems.
- Scheduling: Arrange an on-site assessment with our licensed electrician to evaluate the feasibility and requirements of the installation.
2. On-site evaluation:
- Inspection: Our electrician inspects the installation area, assessing the existing flooring, subfloor conditions, and insulation requirements. Proper insulation is crucial to prevent heat loss and ensure efficient operation.
- Safety and compliance: Ensure all evaluations prioritise safety and compliance with Australian standards, considering electrical and water safety for wet areas like bathrooms.
3. System selection:
- System selection: Based on the assessment, we recommend the most suitable underfloor heating system:
- Electric underfloor heating: Ideal for smaller areas or renovations, using electric cables or mats installed beneath the flooring. It offers a lower upfront cost but higher running costs.
- Hydronic under floor heating: Best for larger areas or whole-house heating, using water heated by a boiler circulated through pipes. It has higher upfront costs but lower running costs.
4. Pricing and proposal:
We provide a detailed quote for the designed floor heating system, outlining all costs involved in the implementation.
5. Installation:
- In-slab heating: Embedding the heating element in a concrete slab, ideal for new constructions, providing slow but consistent heat.
- In-screed heating: Placing the heating element in a thin layer of screed above the concrete slab, offering faster heat-up times.
- Under-tile heating: Installing a thin heating mat directly under tiles, suitable for installations in smaller areas like bathrooms or kitchens.
- Flooring: Install the final flooring material, ensuring it is compatible with under floor heating systems, such as tiles, engineered wood, or laminate.
6. Testing:
- Thorough testing: Verify the proper functioning of the under floor heating system, checking for even heat distribution and correct thermostat operation.
- Customer instruction: Provide operational instructions, maintenance tips, and optimal usage advice to ensure efficient performance.
- Follow-up: Ensure customer satisfaction and address any further inquiries or adjustments.
