How to Choose an Underfloor Heating System
Match system type to room size and use
Electric mat systems are ideal for bathrooms, kitchens, and rooms under 20sqm where the system runs for short periods. Hydronic systems are best for whole-house heating in cold climates where the system runs for extended hours — their lower running cost per hour justifies the higher install cost. For bathrooms and small areas, always choose electric.
Include insulation board from day one
Insulation board is not optional — it is the single most important installation decision after choosing the system type. Without insulation board, 30–50% of heat is lost downward into the slab. Always include it in the specification and budget $15–$35/sqm for the insulation layer.
Choose the right floor covering
Tiles are the most compatible floor covering for underfloor heating — they conduct heat efficiently and tolerate the operating temperature range well. Engineered timber and LVP require low-temperature electric or hydronic systems. Solid hardwood is generally not recommended over electric UFH due to warping risk.
Invest in a quality thermostat
A basic thermostat costs $150–$300 installed. A smart WiFi thermostat costs $250–$500 installed but reduces running costs by 20–30% through scheduling. Warmup's 6iE is the most advanced smart UFH thermostat available in Australia. Always choose a thermostat with floor sensor capability to prevent overheating.
Use a licensed tradesperson
Electric underfloor heating must be installed by a licensed electrician. Hydronic systems must be installed by a licensed plumber. DIY installation of either type is illegal in Australia and will void insurance. Always request a compliance certificate and product warranty on completion.
Compare supply-and-install vs supply-only
Some providers (Comfort Heat, Coldbuster) offer full supply-and-install services. Others (Thermogroup, Hotwire, Warmup) supply the product for a licensed electrician to install. Supply-and-install is usually the more convenient option. Supply-only can be cheaper if you can source a competitive installation quote separately.
