In this article, we’ll explore what underfloor heating is, its advantages, and why it’s becoming a preferred method of heating in Sydney homes.
4 Key Reasons Floor Insulation is a Must for Electric Underfloor Heating
When installing electric underfloor heating, one critical consideration is whether or not to insulate the floor. While it might seem like an additional expense, insulating the floor can significantly enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of your heating system. Here are four compelling reasons why floor insulation is essential when installing electric underfloor heating:
Understanding the Differences Between Electric and Hydronic Underfloor Heating
When it comes to creating a cozy and energy-efficient home, underfloor heating is a popular choice. It provides an even distribution of heat and can be more comfortable than reverse air and gas heating. Two primary types of underfloor heating systems are electric and hydronic. Each has its distinct advantages and considerations, and understanding these can help you make an informed decision based on your specific needs and circumstances.

Hydronic Heating
Hydronic underfloor heating relies on pipes laid in the concrete slab or screed to carry heated water. The water can then be heated by various energy sources including gas boiler, electric heat pumps and solar hot water systems. Hydronic heating installations are invisible (with no vents or ducts on floors or walls) and silent in rooms as radiant heat rises from the floor surfaces of your home, heating it from the ground up.
Hydronic radiator panel and ceiling heating relies on natural convection and radiation to heat your home in silence and comfort, without the dust and allergens often associated with ducted central heating. A luxurious heating method, hydronic heating also offers superior design and a range of styles to complement any modern or traditional setting.

Hydronic Heating Service
Regular service & maintenance of your hydronic heating system will ensure your system is running at peak performance and will add longevity to its lifespan.
A gas boiler or heat pump service is a preventative measure that involves minimal disruption to your hydronic system and will ensure that your hydronic system is operating at optimum efficiency and safely for many years to come.
Your hydronic gas boiler or electric heat pump is the central component of your hydronic heating system, and it is recommended the system be serviced every 2 years. * Note some system brands require system services annually to maintain the system warranty.
Electric Floor Heating Service
Electric floor heating does not require ongoing servicing.
Systems that stop working, generally is a result of an electrical surge that damages the safety switch or wall thermostat controller. And where there is damage to the embedded heating cable as result of same, or if there is damage that has gone undetected during the flooring installation that now presents after the heating is turned on and running, there is assistance available to trace the heating cable, locate the damage spot and repair with minimal floor rectification work required to make good.
