Underfloor Heating

Discover our range of underfloor heating

Heating mats

Underfloor heating mats can be installed under almost any type of floor and are completely hidden, making them a great choice for those looking to save space typically taken up by traditional heating methods such as radiators. They can heat up rooms and floors rapidly, reducing cold spots quickly. Our range features a variety of different lengths, widths and wattages, so you're sure to find what you're looking for.

Insulation boards

Insulation boards help to reduce heat loss into the subfloor and allow your floor to heat up quickly, resulting in faster warm-up times and a lower amount of energy needed to maintain a warm temperature. We supply underfloor heating insulation boards in a range of sizes and thicknesses to suit any project.

Underfloor heating accessories

Improve the performance and efficiency of your underfloor heating with our range of accessories. From underfloor heating tape to decoupling mats, YESSS Electrical supplies everything you need to make sure your electric floor heating system is installed properly and working efficiently.

Underfloor heating thermostats

Underfloor heating thermostats help you run your underfloor heating system more efficiently by allowing for precise temperature control and handy features like automatic shut-off when you reach your desired temperature. Thermostats are especially useful for improving your property's energy efficiency, too.

FAQs

What are the benefits of underfloor heating?

Electric underfloor heating systems distribute heat evenly around the floor for high energy-efficiency and reliable warmth whenever you need it. Underfloor heating is visually impossible to detect as it is installed out of sight underneath the floor, so it won't interrupt your decor ideas and creates more space, especially when swapping traditional bulky radiators for an underfloor heating system. Underfloor heating is safe and reliable, using a small amount of energy to heat the floor effectively so you can leave it to run with peace of mind.

What are the different types of underfloor heating?

Electric underfloor heating systems are typically used in buildings or retrofits with wooden or tiled floors, whereas a floating floor system is designed to be installed beneath floating floors, such as laminate or engineered wood.

Other types of underfloor heating include water underfloor heating systems (also known as wet underfloor heating), which uses a network of pipes to heat the space.

It's always best to consult with a qualified underfloor heating installer who can assess your situation and recommend the most suitable system for your building and flooring type.

How much does underfloor heating cost?

Each underfloor heating mat is priced individually, so the cost can vary due to factors like the size of the room and whether accessories such as insulation boards are required. Our team will be happy to help or advise if you have any questions.

Is it expensive to run underfloor heating?

Underfloor heating is generally considered to be cost-effective in the long term compared to a central heating system. For example, the cost of installing underfloor heating is typically higher than the installation of traditional heating systems but offers long-term energy-efficiency and even heat distribution at lower temperatures across a room.

What kind of flooring works best for an underfloor heating system?

Stone and ceramic tiles are most commonly used with underfloor heating systems. They conduct heat more effectively compared to other materials such as carpet or vinyl so heat up quicker, helping you save on electricity costs.

Is underfloor heating installation difficult?

Installation of electric underfloor heating mats is generally quick and easy. For example, heating mats are usually secured to the floor using adhesive backing and ensure a safe and secure electrical connection. However, there are a number of factors that should be taken into account, such as mat positioning based on the size and shape of the room, with any obstacles such as furniture or fittings taken into account. Look for underfloor heating kits, thermostats and insulation boards for a full underfloor heating solution.

Always consult your local electrician for any underfloor heating work for safe and reliable operation.
