ELECTRIC OR HYDRONIC

Hydronic underfloor heating is hot water in pipes and electric underfloor heating is an electric heating element. The hot water in a hydronic system can be heated by a range of heat sources, i.e gas or heat pump. Electric heating cable requires electricity.

Hydronic is typically installed in large areas over 80m2 as hydronic systems are more costly to install but less expensive to run. Hydronic heating becomes worth the investment in larger areas that would consume a lot of electricity to run with electric. Hydronic heating is at the forefront of sustainable heating as it can use a range of heat sources to heat the water, with hydronic heat pumps becoming the most economical. See the Comfort Heat range of Intaflo hydronic heat pump specifically designed for hydronic underfloor heating.
