It’s no secret that underfloor heating systems are becoming increasingly popular with homeowners in Australia, and for good reason. Not only are they a great way to reduce energy costs by up to 30%, but they also provide a reliable source of warmth throughout the winter months. But, with any heating system, there is an inherent risk of fire and it’s important to ensure that your underfloor heating system meets all relevant fire regulations.
At Euroheat Australia, our engineers & installers have been designing & constructing hydronic heating & cooling systems with 30 years of experience, so we know a thing or two about the importance of fire safety when it comes to underfloor systems. In this article, we’ll explore the importance of fire regulations in underfloor systems and how you can benefit from installing an underfloor heating system.
When it comes to fire safety, one of the most important aspects is making sure that your underfloor heating system is compliant with all relevant regulations. This means ensuring that there is no risk of combustible materials coming into contact with the heated element. At Euroheat Australia, we take this responsibility very seriously and all our systems are designed and installed in accordance with Australian Standards and Building Codes of Australia (BCA). This means that you can rest assured that your system will not only be safe, but also effective in providing you with warmth throughout the winter months.
Not only does a compliant system provide peace of mind, but it also presents numerous benefits for homeowners who choose to install an underfloor heating system. Firstly, as mentioned earlier, you can save up to 30% on your energy bills thanks to the efficient operation of such systems. This equates to approximately $150-200 per year depending on the size of your home and how often you use it. Secondly, since these systems operate at a lower temperature than other types of heaters – such as radiators – they are far more comfortable than traditional forms of heating which can cause dry air or draughts in your home. Lastly, since these systems are installed beneath the floor they take up minimal space compared to traditional forms of heating which require bulky radiators or wall mounted units – meaning more room for furniture or decor!
In summary, when choosing an underfloor heating system for your home it is essential that it meets all relevant fire regulations for peace of mind and safety purposes. At Euroheat Australia our experienced engineers & installers have been designing & constructing hydronic heating & cooling systems for over 30 years so you can rest assured that you’re in safe hands when choosing us for your installation needs!
