After moving into a new house with ASHP we were struggling to get the house to maintain heat especially in Winter wit
An Underfloor Heating System from SpartaMech does exactly that. It provides a room with heat from underneath the flooring that rises up via the use of either pipes or cables that are buried below the surface level.
Types of Underfloor Heating System
Electric Underfloor Heating System – this type of system is also referred to as a dry system and works by using either electric cables or mats that are installed underneath the flooring. This has proven to be popular choice with SpartaMech customers due to the installation costs being lower, that it works well in small areas or when it is retrospectively being fitted plus it is a standalone system.
Water Underfloor Heating System – this type of system is also known as a wet system and will circulate water that has been heated through a grid of pipes under your flooring that works in connection with your boiler or heat pump. This is an attractive option for customers of SpartaMech due to its energy efficiency, that it caters well for larger areas and can even been connected to a renewable energy source such as heat pumps and solar PV panels.
How an Underfloor Heating System work
Dry (Electric) – electric heating cables or mats can be installed as an Underfloor Heating System. The electricity will pass through them heating them up and will result in the heat being evenly distributed across the room. This option is often found to be used in small spaces and also works well in both kitchens and bathrooms.
Wet (Water) – warm water from either a heat pump or boiler is directed through the grid of pipes that will be installed as an Underfloor Heating System. Once heated they radiate the heat through the floor that is both an efficient and comfortable way of heating the space. These systems can be used with ease across larger spaces even an entire home.

Environmentally Friendly Advantages to an Underfloor Heating System
Aside from the many benefits an Underfloor Heating System can offer they are also extremely environmentally friendly.
An Underfloor Heating System from SpartaMech is energy efficient. They use considerably less energy in which to heat a space compared with traditional systems. In fact research has shown they have been found to be up to 25% more energy efficient when combined with a high efficiency boiler or heat pump too. This is also a result of them operating at lower temperatures and evenly distributing the heat.
As previously touched upon an Underfloor Heating System can also be paired with renewable energy sources such as heat pumps and solar PV panels for which the upshot is reduced reliance on fossil fuels and furthering sustainability.
Both of these advantages also make for a reduced carbon footprint.
Our Underfloor Heating System also allows for defined heating areas which in turn means that only the spaces you require to be warm will be. Being designed with durability in mind too will result in them lasting for years to come and without the need to replace them so often. Some of the materials used within the systems are also sustainable.
