Under floor heating

Underfloor Heating Installation, Service & Design in Lancaster

Underfloor heating represents the pinnacle of modern, efficient, and luxurious heating. Wheildons are experienced specialists in the design, supply, and installation of ‘wet’ underfloor heating systems across Lancaster and the North West. Unlike conventional radiators, which create convection currents and circulate dust, underfloor heating provides radiant heat—an even, comfortable warmth that fills the room from the ground up, in its most natural and efficient form.

A ‘wet’ under floor heating system requires warm water at low temperatures to provide consistent heating throughout your property. This low-temperature operation makes it ideally suited for use with high-efficiency condensing boilers. Crucially, under floor hearting is the perfect partner for renewable heating technologies like Ground Source Heat Pumps and Air Source Heat Pumps, maximising the efficiency benefits of both systems. A wet under floor heating system can also be seamlessly integrated with traditional Gas, Oil, and LPG fired boilers. We are qualified to install these systems in both concrete and timber suspended floors, making them suitable for almost any installation project, whether a new build or a renovation.

The Exceptional Benefits of Underfloor Heating

When you decide to install under floor heating it delivers significant practical, financial, and aesthetic benefits:

  • Cost-Effective Savings: Due to the lower water temperatures required and radiant heat production, you can expect to save between 15% to 30% on your annual heating bills, depending on your lifestyle and property insulation.
  • Superior Comfort: The system provides an even distribution of heat, eliminating cold spots and ensuring a consistent, gentle warmth across the entire floor area.
  • Improved Health: Since the system relies on radiant heat rather than convection, dust circulation is minimised, which is beneficial for occupants with allergies.
  • Practicality: Wet floors in areas like bathrooms, utility rooms, and kitchens dry out quickly, reducing the risk of slips and dampness.
  • Aesthetics and Space Saving: The entire system is hidden beneath the floor, meaning rooms can be furnished independently of radiator locations, offering total interior design freedom.
  • Quiet Operation: Unlike traditional central heating systems, there are no noisy pipes, creaks, or gurgling radiators, ensuring your home remains tranquil.
