Electric Underfloor Heating in Auckland

Electric Underfloor Heating in Auckland

Warm tiles on a cold morning. The Conduction Company installs electric underfloor heating in bathrooms, ensuites, kitchens, and any tiled floor across Auckland, fits the thermostat, wires it back to the board, and certifies it.

Are You Experiencing Problems with Cold Floors?

  • Tiles that are freezing underfoot every winter morning
  • A bathroom that never really warms up
  • Underfloor heating that has stopped working
  • A thermostat or controller that no longer responds
  • A bathroom renovation coming up and one chance to get the heating in
  • A new build with the tiles about to go down
  • A kitchen floor nobody wants to stand on in July
  • Not knowing whether an old system can be fixed

Tiled floors are cold underfoot, and once the tiles are down, adding heating underneath them is a much bigger job. The Conduction Company installs electric underfloor heating before the tiles go down, puts the heating cable exactly where you want the warmth, and wires and certifies it, often as part of renovation and new build electrical work.

Bathrooms and Ensuites

The classic spot for it. The Conduction Company installs the heating, the thermostat, and the circuit back to the switchboard, and certifies the installation.

Kitchens and Other Tiled Floors

Some clients put it in the kitchen as well as the bathroom, or anywhere that is tiled. The Conduction Company is always happy to do that one, because warm feet in the kitchen at any time of day is hard to beat.

Thermostats and Controllers

A floor gone cold is not always a broken cable. The Conduction Company tests the system and replaces a failed thermostat or controller where that is the cause.

When an Old System Fails Under Tile

The Conduction Company does not try to repair a broken heating cable under existing tiles. Old systems tend to break again, and every repair means lifting the tiles. Replacing the system is the better fix, and it means lifting and relaying the tiles and redoing the waterproofing, which is work for a professional tiler and waterproofer.

The Conduction Company installs electric underfloor heating only. A heating cable under the tiles, a thermostat, and a circuit back to the switchboard.

The Conduction Company does not install hydronic underfloor heating, the kind that runs hot water through pipes in the floor.

Frequently Asked Questions

Electric Underfloor Heating in Auckland

Can you put underfloor heating under carpet?

It can be done with a system made for it, but carpet is the hardest floor for the heat to get through, and The Conduction Company's own underfloor heating work is under tiles. Carpet and underlay sit over the heater like a blanket, so makers limit how much insulation goes on top, often to a combined 1.5 to 2.5 tog (the rating carpet shops use for how well a layer holds heat in). They also require a floor sensor that stops the floor running too hot, usually at about 27 to 28 degrees. Before anything else, check that the system's current instructions allow carpet, because the Wiring Rules require heating cables to be installed to the maker's instructions. Ask for the tog rating of the carpet and the underlay, and make sure the floor is insulated underneath so the heat goes up, not down. Expect it to warm up more slowly than tiles, and keep beds, bean bags, and flat-based furniture off the heated area.

What is the absolute cheapest way to heat a home?

It depends which cost you mean, says The Conduction Company. The cheapest to buy is a panel heater. The cheapest to run, by a wide margin, is a heat pump, because it moves heat rather than making it. Underfloor heating is not the cheapest way to heat a room, though in The Conduction Company's view it is the most comfortable.

Do you install hydronic underfloor heating?

No. The Conduction Company installs electric underfloor heating only, meaning a heating cable under the tiles, wired back to the switchboard with a thermostat.

When is the best time to put underfloor heating in?

Before the tiles go down, in a new build or a renovation. The Conduction Company can then lay the heating cable exactly where you want it and have it wired and ready for the tiler.

Is underfloor heating expensive to run?

It is not the cheapest way to heat a room. In The Conduction Company's view it is the most comfortable, and for a bathroom or a kitchen that is often the point.

Can you fix underfloor heating that has stopped working?

Sometimes. If the thermostat or controller has failed, The Conduction Company replaces it. If the heating cable itself has broken under existing tiles, it does not try to repair it, because old systems tend to break again. Replacing it means lifting the tiles, and a professional tiler and waterproofer redo the floor.

Which rooms can have it?

Any room with a tiled floor. Bathrooms and ensuites are the classic spots for The Conduction Company's installs, and some clients add the kitchen as well.

Do I get a certificate?

Yes. Installing and connecting the heating is prescribed electrical work, and The Conduction Company certifies it.

What Affects the Cost of Underfloor Heating?

The size of the floor, how many rooms, whether the tiles are already down, and how far the circuit has to run back to the switchboard. A new build with open floors is a very different job from replacing a system under existing tiles. The Conduction Company prices it after seeing the rooms.
