Frequently Asked Questions
Which underfloor heating system is right for my home?
We install four types: overlay systems (low-profile boards, ideal for retrofits), poured concrete screed systems (best for new builds and extensions), spreader plate systems and timber floor systems for suspended floors. We recommend the right system after seeing your floor construction.
Can underfloor heating be retrofitted to an existing Edinburgh home?
Yes. Overlay underfloor heating uses pre-grooved low-profile boards laid over your existing concrete or timber floor, adding minimal floor height and avoiding major disruption — a popular choice in Edinburgh renovations.
Is underfloor heating cheaper to run than radiators?
Underfloor heating runs at lower water temperatures than radiators and spreads heat evenly across the whole floor, which typically reduces energy use for the same comfort — especially when paired with an air source heat pump.
Does underfloor heating work with heat pumps?
They are an ideal pairing. Heat pumps perform at their best at low flow temperatures, which is exactly how underfloor heating is designed to run. Many of our Edinburgh installations combine the two.
How much maintenance does underfloor heating need?
Very little. Once installed and commissioned, a wet underfloor heating system needs minimal ongoing attention beyond the normal annual service of the boiler or heat pump that feeds it.
