The Future of Home Heating
Underfloor heating is up to 35% more efficient than traditional heating solutions. Warmup systems utilise radiant heat technology to warm a room from the ground up and directly into the objects and people in a space, as opposed to central heating which just focuses on heating the air.
This process uses less energy to achieve the same feeling of warmth – creating a more comfortable environment and providing lower long-term running costs.
Warmup products have been installed in over 2.5 million homes, helping to lower global carbon emissions and making our world a greener place for all.

How Does Underfloor Heating Work?
Underfloor heating is up to 40% more energy-efficient than traditional heating methods. Our systems utilise radiant heat technology to warm the objects and people in a room directly from the ground up, as opposed to radiators which waste energy by primarily focusing on heating just the air of the space.
There are two types of radiant floor heaters: electric and water systems (also known as water or wet systems). An electric floor heating system uses electric heating mats or cables to radiantly heat the floors and are connected to your mains electricity source. Water systems pump gently warmed water through heating pipes installed beneath the floor finish and can be used with boilers and heat pumps.

Cost of Underfloor Heating
Due to their energy-efficient technology, floor heaters offer lower long-term running costs than traditional heating systems – significantly reducing the cost of your energy bills.
Electric floor heating systems are an affordable way to bring radiant warmth to your home whereas water systems may cost more to purchase and install but their unique design means they can provide even lower long-term running costs.
The cost of installing underfloor heating is dependent on a range of variables, from the system you have chosen and the size of your project to your location and the rates of the tradespeople in your area.
Underfloor Heating FAQ's
Generally, underfloor heating can be efficient because it runs at lower temperatures and distributes heat evenly. Running costs depend on insulation, floor type, thermostat schedules, and whether it’s electric or water-based.
Many people find it worth it for comfort, space-saving (no radiators), and even heat distribution. ROI depends on your property and usage.
Underfloor heating can feel more comfortable due to radiant heat and even distribution. Radiators can heat faster in some scenarios. Best choice depends on build type and insulation.
It varies by system and floor construction. Electric systems can be faster; water systems in thick screed can take longer but hold heat well.
Typical comfort settings vary by room and floor type. Many systems run efficiently with lower flow/operating temperatures than radiators. Use your thermostat’s recommendations and flooring limits.
