Possibly the nicest way to heat a building is to gently warm its floors. Underfloor heating requires much lower water temperatures then radiators approx 40°C.

​

As the heat is applied at floor level, less energy input is required compared to other sources such as radiators. 

 

Also where asthma is present in a household, underfloor is the ideal solution as it produces an even heat rather than stuffy, therefore ensuring thermal comfort.

​​

​Every heating system must have a design temperature. In Ireland it is generally taken at a range of -2°C to 23°C outside which is known as the heat curve.

 

Outdoor temperature sensors or weather compensation determines that the underfloor heating system is most responsive when it is coldest outside. 

​

Underfloor heating is more than capable of meeting a house needs in any conditions at a very minimal cost, contrary to what some people may think.

 

Once the heating loss calculations have calculated correctly it becomes very efficient. At Smart Heating we can design a system to meet your specific needs.
