Underfloor heating or radiators? Expert reveals the most energy-efficient option
Underfloor heating is generally more energy-efficient, especially with heat pumps, while radiators heat rooms faster but need higher water temperatures.
Avoid underfloor heating mistakes or risk expensive bills warns expert
Incorrect underfloor heating installation or settings cause inefficiency, higher energy bills, potential floor removal, and prolonged, costlier running due to poor heat transfer.
Is solar powered underfloor heating a good idea? Here's what the experts want you to know before paying out
Solar panels can power standard electric underfloor heating, but efficiency and cost-effectiveness depend on home insulation, panel output, and realistic expectations.
