If you need any of our plumbing services
GEt In TouchThere are two underfloor heating systems available to customers in Balham, Battersea, Chelsea, Clapham, Dulwich, Fulham, Putney, Wandsworth, Westminster and Wimbledon. These are hydronic (wet) and electric (dry). Our team offers:
Wet systems compare to radiators underneath the flooring. They have a series of pipes which link to the central heating. These pipes fill with hot water which circulates in a closed loop.
Dry underfloor heating uses electrical pads which operate independently of the central heating system. These pads lie directly under a hard flooring finish.
The type of system you eventually choose will depend on the size of the room space and the current flooring material. Most of our customers in the Central, South and South West London areas use underfloor heating in kitchens and bathrooms because it isn’t suitable for installation beneath carpets.
Slate, tile, marble and vinyl, and some woods, usually work best with underfloor heating systems. Our plumbers and heating engineers can advise you on suitable flooring types.
Even a modern heating system can run into problems. Ecoheat Plumbing Ltd has an underfloor heating maintenance and repair service available. Common issues encountered by our team include insufficient heat generation, worn pumps, faulty wiring and air locks in the pipework. These are straightforward repairs for trained plumbers and heating engineers, but not for DIY enthusiasts. Any work where electricity and water come together is a potential hazard.
