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.
Warmup Tips
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.
Which System is Best for Me?
Our wide range of sustainable underfloor heating systems bring discreet warmth to your home, no matter the size and scope of your project or your chosen floor finish.
Electric Systems
Warmup’s electric underfloor heating mats, cables and underfloor heating kits use innovative electric heating technology and are ideal for home renovation projects. They offer rapid installation times and have little-to-no impact on floor heights.

- ➝ Ideal for renovation projects and for use in single rooms.
- ➝ Rapid installation times.
- ➝ No increase to floor heights.
Water Systems
Our range of wet underfloor heating systems are perfect for new-build projects. These systems provide low long-term running costs and utilise an UFH manifold to distribute warm water through pipes installed within the subfloor.
- ➝ Heating pipes pump water in underfloor circuits.
- ➝ Recommended for new-build projects and larger spaces.
- ➝ Lowest long-term running costs.
- ➝ Compatible with heat pumps and traditional heat sources.
Floor Types
We offer heating systems suitable for all floor finishes. The best types of flooring for use with UFH are those with good thermal conductivity.
Room Types
Floor heaters can be installed in any room of your home. You can also keep outdoor spaces frost-free in the winter with our collection of outdoor heating solutions.
Retrofit Projects
Our electric systems and some of our low-profile water heating systems have little impact on floor heights making them perfect for renovation projects.
New-Build Projects
If you’re working on a new-build project, floor heating is an ideal heating solution and it’s a great idea to specify UFH as part of your initial architectural plans.
Underfloor Heating Installation
Many of our underfloor heating systems offer a hassle-free installation and we can recommend a qualified electrician or plumber to install a Warmup system for you.
Electric underfloor heating systems are quick to install, with some of our heaters taking under a day to fit. Wet underfloor heating systems are more labour intensive to install but are perfect if you’re building your dream home.
Our heaters feature extensive warranties and all products come with our renowned SafetyNet installation Guarantee which protects against accidental damage during the installation process. Warmup also provide 24/7 365 days-a-year customer support for your peace of mind.
Cost of Underfloor Heating
Due to their energy-efficient technology, floor heaters offer lower long-term running costs than traditional heating systems – significantly reducing the cost of your energy bills.
Electric floor heating systems are an affordable way to bring radiant warmth to your home whereas water systems may cost more to purchase and install but their unique design means they can provide even lower long-term running costs.
The cost of installing underfloor heating is dependent on a range of variables, from the system you have chosen and the size of your project to your location and the rates of the tradespeople in your area.
Warmup Tips
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.
Warmup Tips
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 4iE Smart WiFi Thermostat and its accompanying Smartphone apps can help save you up to £378 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?
