Save Energy And Reduce Heating Bills With Underfloor Heating

1. Save Energy And Reduce Heating Bills With Underfloor Heating Many people constantly have to cough up thousands for their utility bills every month. In most cases, utility bills increase annually, and it’s starting to take its toll. That is why so many people across the UK are looking at innovative ways of saving money and reducing the costs they have to attribute to utilities, particularly heating. It should come as no surprise that people everywhere are trying to avoid the obvious pitfall of literally burning their money by spending it on heating their house. There have long been rumours doing the rounds that electric underfloor heating can save you money in the long run. Although it may be expensive to install initially, underfloor heating does have a few advantages that set it above the more traditional methods of heating the home. There are several reasons why your utility bill may be skyrocketing month after month. In the UK, particularly, the energy costs have increased exponentially, meaning that regardless of the type of heating system you have installed, it is likely that your bill will have significantly increased from last year this time. Additionally, many people are living in what may be considered under-occupied residences. This means that you may find that a married couple is living in a massive 800 square meter duplex, or that a family of three is living in a sprawling double-storey cottage in the countryside. Finally, as most houses in the UK are relatively old, their heating systems may be outdated or they may have insufficient insulation. This is a common occurrence and yet so many homeowners are unaware of it. Most people that are now entering the housing market are unaware of the state of their new home’s insulation, and many don’t understand the ins and outs of general heating systems. When you combine all of these factors it is easy to see why so many households in the UK are having to turn over a very large chunk of their monthly income to their utility bill. Underfloor heating is an innovative way to heat a room by distributing heat under the floorboards or tiles and evenly heating a room throughout. The most traditional and currently the most common way of heating a UK home is via a radiator. A radiator has many advantages and benefits, but it does sometimes leave cold spots and can take very long to adequately heat a room throughout, particularly if it is a large or open area. Radiators need to run at a very high temperature in order to heat a room completely, whereas underfloor heating runs at a relatively low temperature and heats the room evenly from the ground up. As the heat is also directly underneath your feet, it is more likely that you and your family will feel the effects of

It may be expensive to initially install an electric underfloor heating system, but it is well worth the investment. Homeowners can choose to have the heating installed in either one room, or many, and may choose to only heat certain portions of rooms instead of the entire room. This can save on costs as well. In order to make the most of your underfloor heating system it is recommended to install it in the bathroom, kitchen, and living room, and, if you have the means, the bedroom. Additionally, once installed, the entire system should be kept running continuously at a low temperature, particularly if it is below freezing out, as switching it off and on the whole time will result in higher utility bills due to the heat loss that will occur.
