Self Build Savers

Under floor heating can be up to 25% cheaper to operate than a traditional radiator system when used with a high efficiency-condensing boiler. This level of saving can easily be maintained and may even be exceeded. Obviously, it is one of the most effective self build savers.

Apart from the cost factor, build heating self under floor has many benefits including aesthetics. There are no radiators taking up wall space. This allows greater freedom to decorate and furnish the rooms as you please.

Each room has a separate circuit and its own thermostat, linked to a motorized valve. Add-ons include a weather compensating system that monitors the outside temperature and maintains the system at your preferred temperature all the time.

Alternative power sources can be used as the system operates on low temperatures (typically between 35C and 50C) it is ideal for connecting to alternative heat sources such as solar panels, a heat recovery system, or a heat pump. These systems can be used in any combination to supplement the output from your boiler and save you even more of your fuel costs.

Of course, you can use any kind of fuel to warm the water that circulates through the build heating self under floor heating pipe. The most popular choices are oil, gas and solid fuel in the form of a conventional boiler. The best choice is a condensing boiler because these are at their most efficient while working at the lower temperatures required by the under floor heating.
