A big question we get asked when remodeling, especially bathrooms, is if they should put underfloor heating in.
We all want to be toasty warm in the Minnesota winters when the wind is howling outside and rain lashing at the window but with the price of energy rising year on year, it can seem like we spend so much of our income on keeping warm.
Making our homes and businesses as energy efficient as possible is key in keeping hold of heat but how we heat our homes is important too.
We want a system that delivers the warmth we need, without costing too much money and neither do we want it to scar the natural environment either.
Is underfloor heating the answer?
There are two types of underfloor heating;
- Electric mats that can be unfurled and laid beneath your top layer of flooring – simple and quick to lay, you can have toasty warm feet in an instant (well, almost!)
- Pipes can be laid deeper down in the sub-floor and when hot water is circulating through them, the heat radiates up and heats the floor – with a bit more effort, you can get the most cost-effective underfloor heating kit there is.
There are so many benefits…
… that it Is hard to think of a single reason why underfloor heating would NOT be suitable for your home. It is a reliable system that gives off a gentle, background heat which means you will never feel chilly again. There are no hot spots or cold spots in a room and, by installing such a system, property value may increase too.
