How much does it cost to run?

This is one of the most common questions about underfloor heating we get & the simple answer is that the running costs are determined by many different factors, however in the majority of cases the running costs should not be a negative factor. A typical new building would perhaps cost around £3-£4 per m² per year to run, so 100 m² free floor area home would cost around £300-£400 per year to heat.

In a conservatory with an insulated floor, electric underfloor heating will be more efficient than radiators due to the fact that you are using the whole floor as a low temperature radiant room heater. In an average sized conservatory used at weekends & winter evenings, the cost may be up to £8 per sqm/annum to run – so around £80 – £100 per year.

Electric floor heating stands out as an excellent choice, especially in areas where there is no mains gas supply & the options are electric, oil, or calor gas.
Electric underfloor heating is also more efficient than radiators & other convected heat & requires no maintenance or servicing & 100% of the electrical energy is turned into heat energy. It is inevitable that more electricity will have to be produced from greener energy sources such as wind power & so in the future, electric underfloor heating should be one of the ‘greenest’ ways to heat your home.

The solution based on the heating carbon film is best chosen for well thermally insulated buildings, preferaby as early as in the designing stage, when it is possible to take into account and meet all requirements as a whole. This is the only way to guarantee your satisfaction in all regards.
