What do you need from underfloor heating?

Symptoms
01 — Common problems

What's worth knowing about underfloor heating.

What's usually behind each symptom and what you can check yourself while the technician is on the way. Without touching anything inside.

I want it in a renovation

You need to take into account the height available, the insulation under the pipes and the type of flooring you'll put on top.

In the meantime · If you have floor plans of your home, keep them to hand. They help work out the circuits and manifolds.

One room doesn't heat up

It's usually a circuit with air in it, badly balanced at the manifold, or with a faulty actuator for that zone.

In the meantime · Note which rooms aren't heating and whether the problem is always the same.

It takes a long time to warm up

It's a system with a lot of inertia: it works better at steady temperatures than when it's switched on and off suddenly.

In the meantime · Check how the thermostat is programmed; sometimes the setting explains everything.

There's a stain or a possible leak

Leaks in the pipes are uncommon, but they can be located without lifting the whole floor.

In the meantime · Check the system pressure and take a photo of the stain.

Connecting it to a heat pump

Underfloor heating works at a low temperature, which is why it's the best partner for an air-source heat pump.

In the meantime · If you already have a boiler, take a photo of the boiler and of the manifold.

Checking the one I already have

Over the years, it's worth cleaning the system, bleeding it and balancing the flows so it heats evenly throughout the home.

In the meantime · Find the manifold box; it's usually in a cupboard or behind an access panel.

04 — Questions

Questions about underfloor heating.

Q.01

How much floor height do I need?

Between 5 and 8 cm, depending on the system and the insulation. The installer measures it at the visit.

Q.02

Can I put parquet on top?

Yes, with parquet that's suitable for underfloor heating. Check with the flooring manufacturer and the installer.

Q.03

Can it be installed without a renovation?

No. The floor has to be lifted and the doors adapted to the new height.

Q.04

Can it also be used for cooling?

Yes, but we don't recommend it: it has to be heavily limited to avoid condensation.
