Underfloor Heating for Heat Pumps
Wet underfloor-heating design and integration for low-temperature heat-pump systems, with loop output, controls, floor construction and whole-system temperatures considered together.
Underfloor heating for heat pumps
New UFH design
Planning wet underfloor heating for suitable new or refurbished floor areas.
Heat-pump integration
Designing the underfloor circuit around the temperatures and flow requirements of the heat-pump system.
Manifold and zoning
Manifolds, actuators and room controls arranged to suit the property and heating design.
Existing UFH assessment
Review of existing wet underfloor heating where a property is moving from a boiler to a heat pump.
Mixed emitters
Planning systems that combine underfloor heating with radiators in other parts of the property.
Control strategy
Avoiding unnecessary short cycling or conflicting zones by considering how controls interact with the heat source.
Underfloor heating can suit low-temperature systems very well
The large floor area can provide useful heat output at relatively low water temperatures, but the result still depends on the floor build-up, pipe spacing, room heat loss, flow rates and control strategy.

Underfloor Heating for Heat Pumps FAQs
Is underfloor heating always better than radiators for a heat pump?
It can be very effective at low temperatures, but suitability depends on the property, floor construction and project scope. Well-sized radiators can also work successfully.
Can an existing underfloor system be used with a heat pump?
Often, but its design temperatures, loop flow and controls should be checked before assuming compatibility.
Can I mix underfloor heating and radiators?
Yes. Mixed-emitter systems are common, but the hydraulic and control strategy needs to be designed carefully.
