There are many misconceptions surrounding underfloor heating, but we're here to set the record straight:
1. Myth: It's Expensive to Install and Run
Debunked: While the initial installation may seem like an investment, underfloor heating is energy-efficient. It runs at lower temperatures than traditional systems, cutting down on energy bills over time.
2. Myth: It Takes Too Long to Heat a Room
Debunked: Modern systems warm up quickly, providing consistent heat throughout the room within a reasonable time.
3. Myth: Underfloor Heating Can Only Be Installed in New Builds
Debunked: Retrofitting underfloor heating in older homes is possible, and systems are available for all types of flooring and rooms, even small bathrooms.
4. Myth: It Doesn't Work Well with Carpet
Debunked: As long as the carpet is under 2.5 tog, it can efficiently conduct heat, making underfloor heating compatible with many carpets.
5. Myth: It Requires a Lot of Maintenance
Debunked: Once properly installed, underfloor heating systems require minimal maintenance and typically have long lifespans, with warranties on pipe work up to 50 years.
