How does it work

Professional Underfloor Heating Solution for North Wales and the North West

Key system components

Underfloor heating works by distributing a lower temperature of warm water through a circuit of pipes beneath the finished floor. Heat is monitored and controlled by intelligent thermostats to maintain a consistent temperature throughout the property or individual zones. Any heat source can be used including conventional boilers and renewable ground/air heat source pumps.

Thermostats (heating controls)

Individual room thermostats control when heating is required in each room, as well as the desired temperature. Our intelligent thermostats and smart underfloor heating controls signal the wiring centre to let it know when heat is needed.

Underfloor heating control pack and manifold

Warm water is pumped from the heat source to the control pack and mixed to approx. 50°C. The control pack is fitted to the manifold that connects the pipe circuits installed in the floor.

Wiring centre

The wiring centre performs central switching of zone actuators, control pack and boiler as signalled by the room thermostats. The wiring centre controls the manifold which turns the boiler on and sends heat to the room when required. 

Pipe circuits

When heat is switched on the entire floor area is warmed via the pipe circuits to between 25°C – 28°C, providing even distribution of heat at slightly higher than room temperature.

Underfloor Heating Installations

There are several benefits of underfloor heating with the main one being a reduction in gas usage thus cheaper bills. Underfloor heating has less of a drain on the boiler as it allows it to run at lower temperatures.

New underfloor heating systems allow for larger areas to be heated successfully and evenly without any cold areas. This allows you to heat a room without any unsightly radiators

Nixon Plumbing and Heating have installed underfloor heating in a range of projects from new build bungalows to houses big and small. We also have experience installing underfloor heating systems in extensions and renovations.

Underfloor Heating repairs

There can be many reasons why your underfloor heating has stopped working, such as a faulty thermostat or a broken cable – it could even be as simple as a tripped fuse. However, if the problem is impossible to see, at Nixon Plumbing and Heating we have the latest technology to detect the fault within a few centimetres – only when we are 100% confident with our findings will we disrupt or remove any floor finishing.

Our in-house engineers are fully qualified and will work efficiently in your home or business ensuring that minimal damage is caused to your existing flooring, whether you have tiled floors, carpet, wood or stone.
