Can I have underfloor heating installed in my existing home?
The issues here are insulation levels and floor height build-up. If the building is well insulated with double-glazing and is close to current building regulations standards then underfloor heating will perform well. If not, it is possible that the generally accepted floor temperature limit would have to be exceeded to maintain room temperatures on very cold days, or supplementary heating used. If an extensive refurbishment or conversion is being undertaken, it is usually straightforward to incorporate underfloor heating, but care must be taken to ensure that, particularly on ground floors, the floor insulation is adequate.
