If you are in charge of a commercial or industrial business, it is likely that you have considered installing underfloor heating at some point. Underfloor heating can be an expensive investment for any company, which is why it pays to do your research before purchasing anything. In this guide, we will talk about the advantages and disadvantages of underfloor heating installation for commercial and industrial businesses as well as the different types available.
Installation Cost
The cost of installation can vary depending on the size and location, but it is generally more expensive than other types of heating. However, this investment may be cheaper in the long run as underfloor heating has a longer life expectancy compared to radiators or portable heaters. This means that your company will not have to spend large amounts of money replacing broken heating systems every few years.
Underfloor Heating Advantages
It is also important to mention the other advantages that underfloor heating can bring to your commercial or industrial business. The first benefit could be its ability to save electricity, as it will only heat up specific areas when they are being used. This means that while you are not working, the heating system does not waste energy to keep your office at a warm temperature. The next advantage of underfloor heating is that it can be installed just about anywhere in any building and with most floor types such as concrete floors or factory floors making installation quick and easy for contractors.
However, their biggest benefit is probably how underfloor heating can start saving you money just after the first couple of months, as it will reduce your energy bill by up to 20%. This is because underfloor heating doesn’t waste energy like other systems do. For this reason, half of all commercial and industrial business owners who install an underfloor system save around 33% on their annual energy bills.
Another benefit of underfloor heating is how it can increase the comfort and well-being for employees, as they don’t have to stand on cold factory or warehouse floors all day long which will ultimately result in happier staff and better productivity levels. Underfloor heating also reduces noise pollution too because you won’t hear loud humming or whirring sounds which can be distracting.
Many people are put off by the high installation costs of underfloor heating, but it’s important to remember that this system will save you money in the long run. Not to mention how much time and effort is saved trying to create a stable environment for staff members who have very little time to waste.
Underfloor heating is also a great option for commercial and industrial businesses who are looking at ways of reducing their carbon footprint, as underfloor heaters have been shown to be more efficient than radiators or traditional gas fired boilers which need venting out into the atmosphere resulting in detrimental pollution levels.
