If you’re using underfloor heating, you might wonder whether it’s better to leave it on continuously or turn it off when not needed. Here’s what you should consider.
Benefits of Leaving it On
Leaving underfloor heating on, especially during colder months, can improve energy efficiency and maintain consistent warmth. Unlike radiators that heat up quickly and then cool down, underfloor heating provides steady, even warmth across the floor. By keeping the system running, you can avoid the time and energy required to reheat a cold floor, making it easier to maintain a stable temperature.
Quicker Warm-Up Times
Underfloor heating warms the room gradually, so turning it on and off repeatedly can delay reaching the desired temperature. By leaving it on, you ensure the floor stays warm, allowing for faster temperature adjustments when needed. This approach is particularly beneficial for areas like bathrooms or living rooms where consistent comfort is a priority.
Smart Controls for Energy Optimisation
Modern underfloor heating systems often include programmable thermostats that allow you to set specific times and temperatures. This enables you to keep the heating on continuously while adjusting output during different times of the day to avoid unnecessary energy use.
