What type of boiler and must I have – and what size should it be ?

The system runs off a normal domestic heating boiler – the same one that provides domestic hot water and other services. New build situations usually use a condensing boiler, it really does not matter whether it is oil or gas, combi type or supplying separate hot water tanks. When we give a quotation, we will tell you the heating demand for the underfloor system. You add this figure to the hot water demand, together with the demand of any other heating services, with usually some extra capacity, to determine the total boiler size. You do not need an excessively complex boiler to run underfloor heating.

Can I use a Heat Pump?

Yes you can, there are some special factors, but in general this is a good combination. We can tailor our design and controls to suit specific heat pumps. Please contact us with details of your chosen model.

Can I use underfloor heating with radiators?

You can. They must have their own, independent time control and the underfloor heating must be able to fire the boiler at any time, day or night.
