Underfloor heating is a safe and effective way of warming your home, giving you thermostatically-controlled, luxurious heat and avoiding the shock of a cold floor under bare feet on winter mornings.
There are many advantages to underfloor heating. It provides clean, still air and all-round warmth. It is unobtrusive, with the only evidence being a small remote control unit on the wall . It’s also very safe - in homes with small children it means no elements, cords or switches to worry about.
Christchurch Electrical can advise you on the best system for your situation, whether you want heating for under tiles in your bathroom or kitchen, or heating elements laid into the concrete slab of your new home. We also can advise on underfloor heating options suitable for carpet, lino or polished wood floors.
In-slab heating consists of an electric heating element positioned within the concrete slab. It provides gentle background warmth by heating up the whole slab. When the element reaches a set temperature it switches off and the concrete continues to release the stored heat for many hours after. It is an ideal system to use in conjunction with off-peak power, making it an economical form of heating.
It is ideally suited for heating polished or coloured concrete floors, and you can control the heat in individual rooms or just install the system in selected rooms of your home.
