Underfloor Heating Repairs and Servicing in Essex
Types of Underfloor Heating: Electric & Water
There are two primary types of underfloor heating systems: electric and water-based. Both are designed to provide consistent, energy-efficient warmth by heating the floor and, in turn, the entire room.
Electric Underfloor Heating Systems
Electric underfloor heating works by installing a network of electric wires beneath or within the floor structure to generate heat. Our experienced engineers are fully equipped to install and repair all major types of electric underfloor heating systems, including:
- Underfloor Heating Mats
- Foil Heating Mats (suitable for underwood, carpet, and vinyl floors)
- Loose Wire Systems
- In-Screed Heating Systems
These systems are ideal for retrofit applications and smaller areas, offering fast installation and precise control.
Water-Based Underfloor Heating Systems
Water underfloor heating involves a series of pipes laid beneath the floor, connected to a boiler or heat pump via a manifold. Warm water circulates through the pipes to heat the space evenly. Because this method distributes heat more uniformly than traditional radiators, it requires lower water temperatures—making it an exceptionally efficient and environmentally friendly solution.
At PHS, we understand that every property and project is different. That’s why we take a tailored approach, recommending only the most effective and cost-efficient system for your specific needs. Our team includes qualified electricians and underfloor heating engineers who are ready to offer expert advice and technical guidance on any installation, repair, or system concern.
Choose PHS for professional underfloor heating solutions you can rely on.
Minimal Maintenance: Once installed and thoroughly tested, underfloor heating systems require virtually no maintenance. With no moving parts and a well-designed setup, the risk of faults is exceptionally low—offering long-term peace of mind.
Superior Performance: Unlike traditional heating systems that rely on convective heat, underfloor heating produces radiant heat, delivering a more consistent and comfortable warmth throughout the entire room.
Design Freedom: Underfloor heating eliminates the need for wall-mounted radiators, giving you complete flexibility in planning your room layout. Place furniture wherever you choose—your interior design is no longer restricted by heating considerations.
Energy Efficiency: With the ability to control each room individually via thermostats, you only use energy where and when it’s needed. This zoned heating approach enhances efficiency and reduces overall energy consumption. (Recommended reading: Underfloor Heating Cost)
Enhanced Safety: Operating at lower flow temperatures and without exposed radiators, underfloor heating greatly reduces the risk of burns—making it a safer choice for households with children, elderly individuals, or vulnerable occupants.
Healthier Indoor Environment: By reducing air circulation and dust movement, underfloor heating creates a cleaner, healthier atmosphere—particularly beneficial for those with asthma or allergies.
For a heating solution that’s efficient, safe, and stylish, underfloor heating is the clear choice.
