The energy crisis
This winter, many of us are worrying about keeping warm. Heating bills have increased by an astonishing amount, and it has never been more expensive to keep your home at a cosy, comfortable temperature. While the energy crisis is expected to settle and for prices to come down in the latter part of 2023, it pays to have some money-saving tricks up your sleeve. Here at Fastwarm, we have one very big one to share with you! It may not seem like the obvious choice to change the way you heat your home right now, there is a way that you can do so and save on your heating bills going forward.
Underfloor heating
More and more property owners are opting to install underfloor heating in their properties, and it is clear to see why. Not only does it allow them to say goodbye to unsightly, bulky radiators, but they will be able to heat their homes in a more efficient way. While you will need to pay for the materials and the initial installation costs, it is seen by many as an upgrade to your home that will really pay off in the long term. Luckily for you, it’s easier to do than you may have assumed, with installation in a typical property taking around 1-2 days.
What are the benefits
What is the appeal of underfloor heating for property owners who are worried about their bills this winter? Its main selling point has always been that it uses much less energy. How? Well, much lower flow temperature to heat a room. This is due to the fast that it is spread out over the entire room, rather than relying on a radiator heating up to very high temperatures to heat the space around them. As a result, the average under floor heating system will use between 15-40% less energy than conventional radiators. Even if your savings are at the lower end of that scale, that’s an impressive amount!
Using less energy to heat your home also means that you will be able to reduce your impact on the planet – perfect for property owners who want to save money but also value their green credentials.
What type of underfloor heating should you choose
What types of underfloor heating are available? You will be able to take your pick from electric underfloor heating (which you may see referred to as dry underfloor heating); or hydronic underfloor heating (also known as a wet system). Both have their own unique benefits, and you may find that one is more suitable for you depending on the size and the typical heating usage of your home. Don’t worry if you see a lot of conflicting information out there – we are here to point you in the right direction and answer all your questions.
