Why choose Underfloor Heating?
Energy-Efficient Comfort
Underfloor heating evenly distributes warmth across your space, providing a comfortable environment while using less energy than traditional heating systems. This efficient design helps reduce your energy bills without compromising on comfort.
Space-Saving & Aesthetic
With no bulky radiators or heaters taking up space, underfloor heating allows you to maximise your room’s design and layout. It’s a hidden system that enhances the aesthetic appeal of any home or office, leaving more room for your furniture and décor.
Healthy & Allergy-Friendly
Unlike radiators that circulate dust and allergens, underfloor heating provides a gentle, radiant heat that reduces air movement. This makes it an ideal solution for those with allergies or respiratory conditions, offering a cleaner and healthier indoor environment.

What Our Clients Say
Frequently
Asked Questions
How does underfloor heating installation work?
Underfloor heating is installed by laying heating elements, either electric cables or water-filled pipes, beneath your flooring. These systems are connected to a thermostat for precise temperature control. For water-based systems, a boiler or heat pump heats the water that circulates through the pipes, while electric systems use resistive heating cables. Installation typically involves preparing the subfloor, insulating it, laying the heating system, and then covering it with your chosen flooring.
Can underfloor heating be installed in existing homes?
Yes, underfloor heating can be installed in existing homes. Retrofit systems are designed to be low-profile and can be installed over existing floors with minimal disruption. Electric systems are generally easier to retrofit because they don’t require plumbing, but water-based systems can also be installed, especially during a renovation. The key is ensuring the floor height increase is manageable.
How long does it take to install underfloor heating?
Installation times vary depending on the system type and size of the area. For a small room, electric systems can be installed in a day or two, while water-based systems may take longer, typically 2 to 4 days, as they require more preparation and testing. Large spaces or complex layouts may extend the installation time. The drying time for any screed or adhesive used also needs to be factored in.
What types of flooring are compatible with underfloor heating?
Underfloor heating is compatible with most types of flooring, including tile, stone, laminate, vinyl, and even some carpets. The key is to ensure the flooring material has a low thermal resistance so that heat can pass through effectively. Tile and stone are ideal due to their high thermal conductivity, while certain carpets and wood flooring may require specific underlays to optimise heat transfer.
Is underfloor heating expensive to install?
The cost of underfloor heating installation depends on factors such as the type of system (electric or water-based), the size of the area, and the complexity of the project. Electric systems tend to be cheaper to install but more expensive to run, while water-based systems have higher installation costs but are more energy-efficient over time. On average, electric systems range from $xx to $xx per square metre, and water-based systems range from $xx to $xx per square metre.
What are the signs that my underfloor heating needs repair?
Common signs include uneven heating across the floor, cold spots, slow heating response times, or the system not turning on at all. If you notice higher-than-usual energy bills, it could also indicate that your system is working inefficiently and may need repair.
Can you repair both electric and water-based underfloor heating systems?
Yes, we can repair gas, electric and water-based underfloor heating systems. Electric systems may require cable repairs, while water-based systems could involve addressing leaks, blockages, or pump issues. Our technicians are trained to diagnose and repair a wide range of issues for both types.
How much does it cost to repair underfloor heating?
Repair costs vary depending on the type of system and the issue. Minor repairs, such as fixing a cold spot or replacing a faulty thermostat, may cost between $150 and $500. More significant issues, such as locating and fixing a leak in a water-based system, can cost more, especially if floor access is required. Contact us to get a quote.
What should I do if my underfloor heating stops working?
First, check your thermostat settings and ensure the power supply is functioning. For electric systems, check if there’s an issue with the fuse or circuit breaker. If these basic troubleshooting steps don’t solve the problem, it’s best to contact professionals such as ATS to diagnose the issue and avoid further damage to the system.

Yes indeed, we install Braemar gas heaters offer instant warmth and cosy comfort, with the highest efficiency star ratings in Australia.
