UFH – The Smarter Choice

At Speedfit, we believe that a one-time investment in underfloor heating (UFH) pays high dividends in the long run.

Today, in an effort to conserve ourrapidly depleting energy reserves,every person with planningpermission in the UK is required toacquire an SAP rating beforebuilding a new property. Additionalpoints are attained for air andground source heat pumps, whichwork more efficiently with water ata low temperature. UFH worksextremely well with these heatpumps, as radiators would requirefar more surface area to providethe same amount of heat. Hence, UFH is in coherence withcurrent environmental laws. Usingelectricity for UFH (in a solidscreen system) wastes minimalamounts of heat in comparisonwith natural gas or fuel systems.Companies like JG Speedfit,produce UFH systems that saveenergy by allowing the user tocontrol both time and temperature,along with room flexibility.Therefore, one can choose whattime the heating comes on, whichroom/s should be heated andvariable temperatures for eachseparate room. Not only does thisallow one to minutely control theamount of energy used, it alsoallows for flexibility in useaccording to lifestyle. Price-wise too, UFH is a smartdecision as fuel costs rise daily.Another thing UFH saves on isspace; radiators require a largesurface area, especially if the roomto be heated is big.In today’s shrinking homeenvironment, space saved isspace earned for other activities!Moving furniture around can bedone sans any worry aboutradiator positioning too. UFH is still considered anaspirational product by many,instead of a necessity. However,rising fuel costs and the need foran environmentally friendly systemhave led to its rise across Ireland.The system is quiet unlikeradiators and is fairly reliable underall conditions. Once installedproperly, it can ensure energy andmoney savings, along withincreased comfort levels. Surely, amust try for all new projects!
