Underfloor heating does not have to be costly and can prove
to be less expensive than a traditional gas system with radiators. However, you
have to bear in mind the initial set up cost of your underfloor heating system.
If you need any further advice, feel free to get in touch with Underfloor Store
who are more than happy to help you calculate the cost and work out if an
underfloor heating solution is right for you. You can call us on 03301 232231
or fill in our online
contact form.
This example is for approximate guidance only, contact
Underfloor Store today and we will help you calculate the savings you could
receive, if possible, if you switch to an underfloor heating system. This
example assumes:
·
The average cost of 14.33p per unit for
electricity. The unit is kWh
·
The average cost of 3.63p per unit of gas.
·
You’re underfloor heating system was on for 7.5
hours in a day.
·
The room you are heating is 20.30m2
·
You are using mats that are 1m2
Here at Underfloor Store, we stock
mats between 100W – 160W.
So, as there are a thousand KW to a W we
can assume that 0.1KW – 0.16KW which ranges from 1.43p – 2.29p per metre
squared.
For a large living room of 20.30m2
this would range in energy cost, as an example for 7.5 hours of heating time
would range between 28.60p – 46.49p for 20.30m2
and for 7.5 hours a day, 214.50p – 348.66p for a month 6477.90p – 10529.53p. (£64.78 - £105.30)
This compares with a radiator which on
average pumps out 1.5KW of energy at 5.445p per metre squared.
