Frequently asked questions

For a whole home, a water-based (hydronic) system is usually the best choice: warm water runs through pipes in the screed and can be heated by a boiler, a heat pump or solar. Electric mats suit one small room, such as a bathroom, or a renovation where the floor cannot be raised.

The price depends mainly on the heated area, the type of system, the heat source and the number of rooms you want to control separately. Each project is different, so the reliable way to know is a quote from your floor plans. GSAT quotes from your plans, with a room-by-room layout.

Most underfloor heating problems come from the installation, not the system: missing insulation, circuits that are too long, unbalanced manifolds or pipe that was not pressure-tested before the screed. Installed properly, hydronic floor heating is one of the most trouble-free ways to heat a home.

The pipe in a hydronic system is made to last as long as the building: quality multilayer and PEX pipe is designed for a service life of 50 years or more. Pumps, valves and the boiler or heat pump wear out sooner and are replaced like any heating equipment. GSAT gives a lifetime warranty on the floor heating pipe it installs.

Run water-based floor heating steadily through the cold season with a thermostat, and lower it by 2 or 3 degrees at night or when you are away, instead of switching it fully on and off. The floor holds heat, so it works best as a slow, constant system.

Tile and natural stone work best because they pass heat easily. Engineered wood, laminate and vinyl work when the product is rated for floor heating. Thick carpet with a heavy underlay is the least suitable, because it insulates the floor from the room.
