When the temperatures start to drop in Australia, many home owners start looking for ways to keep their homes warm during the winter months. Installing underfloor heating mats is one of the most cost-effective and efficient ways to do this. Underfloor heating mats are designed to provide warmth in a room by circulating hot air through an insulated floor system. The mats are typically made from a combination of materials such as rubber, plastic, or metal and are available in different sizes and shapes.
Underfloor heating mats come in a variety of types, each of which has its own set of benefits. Some of the most common types include electric underfloor heating mats, hydronic underfloor heating mats, and solar-powered underfloor heating mats. Each type has its own advantages and disadvantages that should be considered before making a purchase decision.
Electric underfloor heating mats are designed to run on electricity. They are among the most popular types of mats available because they require minimal installation time and can provide a great deal of warmth quickly and efficiently. Electric underfloor heating mats also come with adjustable thermostats so you can control the temperature in your home as desired. However, electric underfloor heating does come with higher running costs than other options.
Hydronic underfloor heating systems use hot water instead of electricity to generate warmth. This type of system is more expensive than electric systems but offers greater control over temperatures than electric systems do and is much more energy efficient due to its ability to store heat for longer periods of time. Additionally, hydronic systems can be installed into existing homes without having to install new wiring or electrical outlets.
Solar-powered underfloor heating systems are powered by sunlight rather than electricity or hot water. They’re an eco-friendly option for those looking for an environmentally friendly way to keep their homes warm during the winter months. Solar-powered systems require no additional wiring or electrical outlets but still require professional installation due to their complex nature. However, solar-powered systems offer excellent energy savings and are highly efficient when used properly.
