What happens during an underfloor heating installation service? Initial Assessment Making an initial assessment of your property is the first stage in the process. A licenced heating engineer will evaluate your home's architecture and layout, the types of flooring that are currently installed, the amount of insulation in the walls, and the amount of heat you need. This evaluation will assist in identifying the kind of underfloor heating system that best meets your demands. Design and Planning Following the inspection, you and the heating engineer will collaborate to create a custom underfloor heating system for your house. This entails choosing the right control system to adjust the temperature in every area as well as the best configuration for heating pipes or electric heating mats. Preparation Any old flooring must be removed before installation can start. Depending on the kind of flooring in your house, this can entail removing carpets, tiles, or floorboards. Before installation can begin, it is imperative to make sure the subfloor is clear of debris and obstructions and level. Installation Installing the actual underfloor heating system is the next stage. Flexible pipes are arranged in a serpentine pattern over the subfloor for water-based systems, with equal spacing between them to provide even heat distribution. After that, a manifold that regulates the flow of hot water from the boiler is connected to these pipes. Heating mats or cables for electric underfloor heating systems are arranged on top of the flooring and coated with a layer of screed or self-levelling compound. Flooring Replacement The flooring can be changed after the underfloor heating system is installed. This could entail putting the old flooring back in place or choosing new flooring materials like tiles, laminate, or engineered wood that work with underfloor heating. Testing and Commissioning The system will be tested to make sure it is operating correctly and effectively after installation is finished. This includes measuring water flow rates, inspecting the system for leaks, and adjusting the control system to reach the correct temperature Contact us for underfloor heating installation in Liverpool, St Helens, and Warrington There are many advantages to putting underfloor heating in your house, but it's important to know what to expect and how to go about it.
