FAQs

Electric floor heating offers several advantages over traditional heating systems:

• Even heat distribution: It eliminates cold spots by evenly warming the entire floor and radiating heat throughout the room.
• Silent operation: Unlike ducted systems, electric floor heating operates noiselessly.
• Low maintenance: Once installed, it requires minimal upkeep compared to other systems.
• Energy efficiency: When used effectively, it can reduce energy waste by targeting specific areas instead of heating unused spaces.

Electric floor heating can be energy-efficient when used correctly. It warms the room directly from the floor up, requiring less energy to maintain a comfortable temperature compared to forced air systems. Pairing it with proper insulation and a programmable thermostat helps optimise energy usage and keeps electricity bills manageable.

Yes! Electric floor heating is compatible with a wide range of flooring materials, including tiles, timber, laminate, vinyl, and even some types of carpet. However, the type of flooring may affect the installation method and heat efficiency. Our team will guide you to ensure your chosen flooring works seamlessly with the system.

The installation timeline depends on the size of the area and the complexity of the project. For most homes, installation can be completed in a day.

Absolutely. Electric floor heating is an excellent choice for all rooms, including bathrooms and laundries. It provides consistent warmth, prevents cold floors, and is safe for use in areas with high humidity. Additionally, it helps reduce moisture build-up, which can minimise mould growth

Electric floor heating systems are designed to last for decades, with premium systems offering 20+ year warranties. They require little to no maintenance once installed. Regular optimisation checks of the thermostat and ensuring the flooring is in good condition are typically all that’s needed, which is why we’ve created the Comfort Club. Learn more here.

Yes! Electric floor heating systems can integrate with smart home technology, allowing you to control your heating remotely via smartphone apps, voice assistants, or automated through home automation systems. This enables greater energy efficiency and convenience.

The heat-up time depends on the flooring type and insulation, but most under-tile systems heat instantly, reaching running temperature within the hour. In-slab can take up to a day to heat up. This is due to the thermal mass. While it takes longer to heat up, it’s a more efficient solution and is more effective for heating large areas.

Yes, professional installation is required to ensure the system is installed safely and operates efficiently, and all electrical components meet Australian standards. Working with professional installers also means your warranty is upheld on the products installed.
