INITIAL INSTALLATION COSTS
The immediate financial aspect to consider when choosing underfloor heating is the initial installation cost. Factors influencing these costs include the size of the area to be heated, whether you opt for a ‘wet’ or ‘dry’ system, and the complexity of installation.
Wet systems, which use hot water pumped from your boiler or a heat pump, tend to cost more upfront due to the intricacies involved in laying the pipes. Dry systems, using electric coils or heating mats, are generally less expensive to install and are often chosen for smaller areas or retrofit projects.
However, it’s essential to view these costs as an investment in the future comfort and value of your home, rather than a mere expense.
