It works by radiating heat upwards, creating a comfortable, consistent temperature throughout the space without the need for traditional radiators. Both wet underfloor heating and electrical underfloor heating systems provide efficient and unobtrusive warmth, with each type offering unique benefits depending on your specific requirements.

Underfloor Heating Birmingham
There are two types that Heatd install for Birmingham underfloor heating systems, each with different ways of working: water-based (hydronic) systems that circulate warm water through pipes and electric systems that use heated cables or mats.
Water-based underfloor heating systems, also known as hydronic systems, use a network of pipes to circulate warm water beneath the floor. These systems are typically connected to a central heating system or heat pumps and are ideal for larger areas or whole-house heating. Hydronic systems are highly energy-efficient, especially when paired with renewable energy sources like air source heat pumps, making them a cost-effective option for long-term heating. However, they require more extensive installation, which is often easier to incorporate into new builds or major renovations. Water-based underfloor heating offers exceptional energy efficiency, making it a cost-effective solution for heating large spaces or entire homes. It provides consistent, even heat distribution, enhancing comfort without the need for bulky radiators. Additionally, when paired with renewable energy sources like heat pumps or air source heat pumps, it significantly reduces energy bills and carbon footprint, making it an environmentally friendly choice.
Electric underfloor heating systems, on the other hand, use heating cables or mats placed under the floor to generate heat. These systems are easier and quicker to install compared to hydronic systems, making them a popular choice for retrofitting in existing homes or for heating smaller areas like bathrooms and kitchens. Electric systems are generally more flexible in terms of installation and can be used with various types of flooring, including tile, wood, and laminate. While they might have higher running costs than hydronic systems, their lower installation costs and ease of use make them an attractive option for many homeowners. Electric underfloor heating is easy to install, making it an ideal choice for retrofitting in existing homes or for use in smaller spaces like bathrooms and kitchens. It provides rapid heat-up times, delivering consistent warmth exactly where it’s needed. Additionally, electric systems are versatile and compatible with various flooring types, offering a convenient and flexible heating solution.
Underfloor Heating in Birmingham UK
Our experts in Birmingham underfloor heating begin with preparing the subfloor, ensuring it is clean, level, and well-insulated to maximize energy efficiency. For water-based systems, a network of pipes is laid out across the floor in a carefully planned pattern, usually attached to a layer of insulation boards, before being connected to a boiler or heat pump. For electric systems, heating cables or mats are laid out in a similar pattern and secured in place. Once the heating elements are installed, a layer of screed or self-leveling compound is applied to encase the system, creating a smooth surface for the final floor covering. After the screed has cured, the final flooring—whether tile, wood, or laminate—can be installed, completing the process. The system is then connected to a thermostat for easy control and thoroughly tested to ensure it operates efficiently and safely.

Electric underfloor heating can be more expensive to run compared to other heating systems, especially in areas with high electricity costs. The expense largely depends on factors like the insulation quality of the space, the heating system’s efficiency, and the duration it’s used. However, it offers the benefit of even heat distribution and can be cost-effective for heating small areas or for occasional use.
Underfloor heating can be cheaper to run than radiators because it operates at lower temperatures and provides more even heat distribution, which can lead to energy savings over time. While the initial installation cost of underfloor heating might be higher, it can offer long-term cost benefits by reducing your overall energy consumption. Additionally, underfloor heating can enhance comfort and efficiency, potentially lowering your heating bills compared to traditional radiator systems.
Underfloor heating does not necessarily use a lot of electricity, as it operates at lower temperatures than traditional heating systems, making it more energy-efficient. Our expertly installed systems provide efficiency and consistent warmth, often reducing the overall electricity usage in a well-insulated space. With our underfloor heating installation service, you can enjoy a cosy environment while keeping your energy costs manageable.
Underfloor heating should typically be set to operate for about 6-8 hours per day to maintain a comfortable and consistent temperature, depending on your home’s insulation and personal preferences. For optimal efficiency, it’s best to use a programmable thermostat to adjust the heating schedule based on your daily routines and needs. This approach ensures that the system provides warmth when needed while minimizing energy consumption.

Fantastic service from start to finish from Tom and Joe. Our heating and hot water weren’t working and our boiler is very old. After one message, they had got in touch really quickly to come and give us a quote on a new system. Great advice offered about what they felt was best for us. Knowing that we had no heating Tom fit us into his diary as soon as he could. They were on time, friendly and their work was brilliant. We had decided to move the boiler to another location and Tom kept us up to date on the progress each day and how long things would take. The team worked so hard, removing the water tank, installing the new boiler system and fitting thermostats on the radiators and it was done to a really high standard. It can be hard to find a genuine professional to trust with huge jobs like this but we 100% recommend Heatd. We will be calling on Tom and the team in the future whenever we need anything doing 🙂

Very efficient service, which is value for money. We were advised about the correct size and type of radiator needed for the size of our room and then Heatd Ltd fitted our new upright radiators. The work was carried out efficiently, professionally and spotlessly clean. Even though carpets had to be taken up you would never have known. Where the previous radiators had been, the holes in the walls were filled ready for us to paint. Can't recommend this company enough and will definitely be using them again.

Tom has just completely refurbished our bathroom and is our regular plumber for heating services. From start to finish Tom has project managed the job and given advice and guidance along the way. His suggestions have proved to be excellent giving us a fantastic new bathroom. Tom and Joe have worked really hard and all contractors such as Shaun, Jason and Mitch have all worked to a very high standard. Every day they cleaned up completely and disruption was kept to a bare minimum. If you want a good job done with a superb finish, look no further than Heatd.

Excellent service from Tom. Bathroom was project managed by him from start to finish. All other required trades (electrician etc) were booked as required and their services were excellent. Suggestions were made that we hadn’t thought of and all minor issues were addressed immediately. We are so pleased with the finished bathroom and we cannot recommend Tom and the team highly enough.

Had a Worcester Bosch boiler change and an unvented cylinder installed in the beginning of June 2024. From the start Tom came to survey the property and a quote was generated within 24 hours. After some discussions about some variables the quote was edited and accepted by me. Tom, Joe and Shaun were very professional, prompt and tidy in their work. They were very well supported by Laura at the office with prompt replies to my queries. The work was done within the agreed time and the agreed quote. The system is working very well and I am well pleased. All in all very satisfied with the service. Thanks Heatd.

Recently had Tom from Heatd do work on our bathroom and two en suites at our house. From start to finish Tom was always present on the phone, professional and always on time. Nothing was ever too much. We have three young children and Tom was fantastic at making sure the disturbance was kept to a minimum making our everyday life tick over as normal. The work was carried out professionally and to a very impressive standard. Whatever we were told Tom stuck to his word. Tom and Joe were friendly and I cannot thank them enough for the work that they did in my house. I would defiantly recommend this company as my experience was fantastic from start to finish.
