Underfloor heating is far from a new concept, it was first used by the Romans whose dwellings were constructed with voids through which air, warmed by an open fire, would pass, thus heating the structure. Underfloor heating is not a new concept in this country either. In the past electric heating elements were buried within floor screeds. These were heated over night using ‘cheap rate’ electricity. However, this method was expensive to run and uncontrollable and the building would over heat during the day but in the evening, when heat is generally required, no further heat was available. Utilising today’s modern multilayer pipes, control systems and high efficiency boilers, the underfloor heating systems of today are extremely comfortable and controllable. Radiators are no longer needed so giving more room space. The heat is more evenly distributed and dust is not circulated. Underfloor heating from the whole floor area of the house gently warms the air above, eliminating cold spots. The warm air convects from the floor surface losing approximately 2 degrees centigrade at 2.0 meters above the floor, which makes the system ideal for all ceiling heights. Independent tests reveal that the most acceptable indoor climate is one in which the floor temperature ranges between 19-29°C and the air …

I’ve a new electrical underfloor heating system in two rooms: one large and one small. The Thermonet Controller can handle up to 13 amps of electricity by itself, and manages the heating system in the small room with no problem. The bigger room requires over 13 amps of electricity to run, so there’s an additional (and bulky) relay that the controller switches on and off (loud clicks in the video). So, the Controller switches the relay on and off (using less than 13 amps) and the relay switches power to the heating coils on and off (13 – 20 amps). The Themonet Controller is locking up, becoming unresponsive.
