Underfloor Heating Installation
Underfloor heating distributes warmth over an entire floor area using low-temperature heat rather than the high-temperature heating that is offered by radiators. Low temperature heating solutions such as ground and air source heat pumps are an ideal solution to work in conjunction with underfloor heating and the system will not only work efficiently it will save you money in the long run.
Based in Sussex, we offer underfloor heating installation across the south-eastern region of England and with years of experience behind us, and a team trained to the highest standard, you can be confident in A Greener Alternative’s ability to install your system effectively.
A Greener Alternative have installed underfloor heating systems throughout the South East in both domestic and commercial settings and have a catalogue of happy customers. Underfloor heating is a great alternative solution to conventional radiators and can also bring about some fantastic savings for you. Discover more about our underfloor heating installations today.

How Underfloor Heating Works
Underfloor heating distributes warmth evenly across an entire floor area using low-temperature heat, rather than the high-temperature heating offered by conventional radiators. This gentle, radiant heating creates comfortable warmth from the ground up, eliminating cold spots and providing superior comfort.
The low-temperature operation makes underfloor heating an ideal solution to work in conjunction with renewable heating systems such as ground source and air source heat pumps. This combination not only works efficiently but provides significant long-term cost savings compared to traditional heating methods.
What makes underfloor heating an excellent choice is its energy efficiency – the larger surface area allows the system to operate at lower temperatures while providing the same heat output, reducing energy consumption and costs. The system works silently and invisibly, freeing up wall space normally occupied by radiators.

Frequently Asked Questions our Underfloor Heating

What is underfloor heating and how does it work?
Underfloor heating distributes warmth evenly across an entire floor area using either warm water pipes or electric heating elements. The system operates at lower temperatures than radiators, providing gentle, radiant heat that rises from the floor. This creates superior comfort with no cold spots and eliminates the need for wall-mounted radiators.
Why does underfloor heating work so well with heat pumps?
Heat pumps operate most efficiently when providing lower temperature heating, making them perfectly matched with underfloor heating systems. This combination maximizes efficiency and provides significant cost savings compared to traditional high-temperature radiator systems.
Is underfloor heating more efficient than radiators?
Yes, underfloor heating is more efficient because it uses a larger surface area to distribute heat at lower temperatures. This allows the system to achieve the same comfort levels while using less energy, particularly when combined with renewable heating sources like heat pumps.
Can underfloor heating be installed in existing properties?
Yes, we offer solutions for both new builds and existing properties. While wet systems work best in new constructions or major renovations, electric systems can be installed in existing properties with minimal disruption during refurbishment projects.
What types of flooring work with underfloor heating?
Most flooring types are compatible with underfloor heating, including tiles, stone, engineered wood, and many carpets. We’ll advise on the best flooring choices for optimal heat transfer during our site survey.
How long does underfloor heating take to warm up?
Underfloor heating has a slower response time than radiators but provides more consistent, comfortable warmth. The thermal mass of the floor stores heat, maintaining comfortable temperatures for longer periods and reducing energy consumption.
