Are water based Underfloor Heating Systems better than Electric ones?
Providing that a building is well insulated then both systems will be suitable. The size of area, type of floor construction etc will influence the capital price of each system, in addition to these factors, the fuel source should be considered. The UK is the largest producer of gas and within the EU and the domestic gas supply network allows access to approximately 75% of domestic dwellings in the UK. Although tariffs differ dependant on supplier and region, electricity is approximately 2-3 times more expensive than gas.
