Very significant savings are achievable with Underfloor Heating, through the entire floor being heated to 18-20C, rather than a radiator being heated to 65C+. This lower operating temperature is much more efficient and cost-effective.

In an Underfloor Heating situation, thermostats can be set at 2-3C lower, representing significant additional savings, since every one degree temperature reduction means a significant reduction on a fuel bill.

An ideal indoor climate is created through an underfloor heating system, with the air temperature being always higher at floor level and decreasing steadily towards the ceiling. The high radiant component of underfloor heating, together with the temperature gradient of the heat output, provide a degree of thermal comfort within a well insulated building which far surpasses that of conventional heating. Radiant heat is the most direct form of energy, creating the gentle feeling of warmth experienced on a warm, sunny, summer's day.
