There is nothing quite like getting up in the morning to a warm house with the added comfort and feeling of the warmth from a warm floor, when outside it’s cold, wet and windy, this is what the Greentec System will give you.
Underfloor heating is an invisible heat for the home with no ugly obtrusive radiators. It is by far the best way of heating the house, especially when connected to a heat pump. This is because the underfloor heating requires far lower temperatures to heat the home than the usual radiators. The heat pump is perfect for this as it is an extremely efficient way of getting a gentle low temperature into the water that runs through the underfloor heating pipes, which are part of the very fabric of the building, i.e. in the concrete floor. When we gently heat the floor’s concrete screed, this creates a large thermal heat store by using the floor’s concrete mass (or its thermal mass). As the heat pump heats the home 24 hours a day in the winter, this thermal mass gets warm and stays warm, it then only needs small amounts of heat to keep it warm, this is one of the ways we reduce the home’s running costs and increase the overall efficiency of our heating system.
The heat pump has an intelligence that will only give the home the heat that it needs, so the colder it gets outside the warmer the underfloor heating will get, and it does the opposite as the weather gets warmer. This will give the greatest efficiencies, comfort and heat the home at the desired set temperature, when using this method it gives the added comfort to the home as the house will never get to hot or to cold.
