Underfloor Heating
Underfloor heating is a cleaner, smarter way to heat your home. Using radiant heat technology, UFH gently warms the people and objects in the room directly, from the ground up – facilitating a much more energy-efficient method. With over 2.5 million underfloor heating systems (UFH) sold in 72 countries worldwide, Warmup offers an extensive range of electric and water floor systems compatible with all floor types, rooms and projects.
Affordable, Sustainable Heating
Warmup systems utilise low-carbon technology and can be purchased online or from your local retailer.

Warmup offer market-leading guarantees on all our products for your peace of mind.
A Greener Way to Heat Your Home
Homes heated with underfloor heating are more comfortable and up to 40% more efficient than those using traditional central heating systems. Warmup floor heaters offer a low-carbon heating solution and utilise radiant heat technology to warm people in a space with infrared energy, rather than just warming the air. This means the same feeling of warmth can be achieved with lower temperatures, which reduces heat loss and improves energy-efficiency.
With over 25 years of innovation and expertise, Warmup products have been installed in over 2.5 million homes across the world and are trusted for their high-quality design and market-leading warranties. A Warmup system provides a cleaner, smarter, and often more affordable way to heat your home.

How Does Underfloor Heating Work?
Underfloor heating is up to 40% more energy-efficient than traditional heating methods. Our systems utilise radiant heat technology to warm the objects and people in a room directly from the ground up, as opposed to radiators which waste energy by primarily focusing on heating just the air of the space.
There are two types of radiant floor heaters: electric and water systems (also known as hydronic or wet systems). An electric floor heating system uses electric heating mats or cables to radiantly heat the floors and are connected to your mains electricity source. Hydronic systems pump gently warmed water through heating pipes installed beneath the floor finish and can be used with boilers and heat pumps.

Underfloor Heating FAQ's
Is an electric or water system better for me?
Warmup offer both electric and water (also known as hydronic or wet) floor heaters. Typically, we recommend specifying electric systems for smaller home refurbishment projects and water systems for new-build or larger renovation projects.
Will installing a system help with my home’s interior design?
With no bulky radiators or exposed piping taking up valuable wall and floor space, UFH provides an ‘invisible’ heating solution. It allows you to have much greater freedom with your interior design so you can really make your home a sanctuary with no style compromises.
Will a floor heater help to improve the air quality of my home?
Replacing your central heating system with a floor heater can assist in removing the potential stuffiness from a room, as underfloor heating never overheats a space. Radiators also tend to circulate dust around a room whereas floor heating does not – giving you cleaner, clearer air.
Can I control a floor heater remotely?
All systems should be controlled by a zone-dedicated underfloor heating thermostat and using one of our advanced Smart Thermostats allows remote access to your heating system via the MyHeating app. This innovative technology also provides automatic heat functionality, enhanced energy-efficiency and cost savings.
How much can I expect to save with underfloor heating?
With low running costs, your floor heater will help pay for itself in the long-run and to maximise on the energy-efficiency of floor heating, be sure to install your system alongside one of our award-winning thermostats. Using a Warmup system with our 6iE Smart WiFi Thermostat and its accompanying Smartphone apps can help you save 30% a year on your energy bills. Use our Running Costs Calculator to see how much you could expect to save.
Will my heater be compatible with my other Smart technology?
Alongside using a Warmup Smart Thermostat and or Smartphone apps, you can also control your floor heating system using other Smart technology in your home such as Voice Assistants.
Is Warmup underfloor heating low maintenance?
Once installed, underfloor heating requires little-to-no maintenance. If a failure does occur, our systems come with extensive warranties and we operate an unparalleled after-sales customer service with technical support available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Can I use a combination of heating systems in my home?
Yes, you can. You can install floor heaters as your primary heating system in your whole house or as a secondary form of heating in just one or two rooms with the rest of the space heated by the existing central heating system. You can also consider installing a hybrid heating solution of both warm water and electric underfloor heating systems in the same project. Our systems provide a responsive zoned heating solution, meaning multiple systems can be split to separative ‘zones’ – allowing precision heating for individual areas.
Can I use UFH with heat pumps and other heat sources?
Our collection of hydronic systems are perfect to install with sustainable heat sources such as ground and air-source heat pumps and biomass boilers.
