Underfloor heating changes the way you use your home... from Nu-Heat
Description
“Underfloor heating changes the way you use your home.”
Having used Nu-Heat in the development of several commercial projects Jeff Streule saw first hand how effectively underfloor heating works in large areas.
He was so impressed he claims the decision to use the product instead of a domestic radiator system for his own property was a “no brainer.”
“In the relatively early days of underfloor heating I was aware of the huge amount of coverage it was receiving in many of the magazines. I did my research and was very impressed, so I installed underfloor heating systems in the majority of my office development projects and quickly saw the benefits. The main advantage being that there were no constraints on the layout and I was able to utilize all of the valuable wall space.”
“With regards to my own property, initially I obtained quotes from three different companies and I will admit that although Nu-Heat’s price was competitive, it was not dramatically cheaper than its competitors. It was the thoroughness of Nu-Heat’s quotation that impressed me enormously; and the user friendly manuals and user guide were far clearer than others I had received. As I was installing the system myself this gave me confidence. “
“With this in mind I enlisted a professional to help with the plumbing of the manifold and boiler but I was happy to give the rest a go. I can proudly say that I successfully laid all the pipe ready for the screeded floor. I found the installation process extremely easy. This is not something I would have attempted if I had chosen to use a radiator system, what with all the copper pipe work to contend with!”
“The system allowed such flexibility of zone and thermostat location that my home now has a really practical layout, an advantage of underfloor heating over radiators, especially in a property where wall space is limited. It allowed me to create an aesthetically pleasing open plan living space.”
“I was particularly keen to incorporate stone flooring throughout the ground floor of the property and using a stone material with underfloor heating is a great combination. I find the temperature of the property is just right, never hot or cold with the system providing a much gentler heat which is very comfortable. There are no slippers needed in my house!”
“I have now been living with Nu-Heat underfloor heating for three years and I think it is a fantastic system!”
Nu-Heat UK Limited
Nu-Heat supplies a complete renewables package ensuring seamless system integration.
With many years of experience in the integration of underfloor heating with heat pumps and solar panels, and an increasing demand for even more energy-efficient systems, we are pleased to be able to design and supply a complete package with one source of responsibility and one point of contact.
The Nu-Heat range of warm water underfloor heating, ground source, air source, and exhaust air heat pumps as well as solar thermal collectors, all integrate seamlessly to provide a heating and hot water system tailored to the individual needs of each customer.
Because Nu-Heat supplies all of these technologies you can be sure they will integrate seamlessly, as they also provide all of the fittings necessary to complete the installation.
Each system is supplied with both plumbing and electrical 'docking drawings' that clearly illustrate how the various components should be fitted and then linked to each other. There are many possible configurations that may include underfloor heating, a heat pump, solar, a storage and/or preheat cylinder and one of several control options. Nu-Heat will also provide a docking drawing illustrating how a conventional gas or oil boiler is configured.
Should you decide to buy some of the components from another supplier, that is not a problem - Nu-Heat has many years of experience in integrating their systems with a wide range of makes and models, so you can be confident that their system will fulfil all expectations.
Nu-Heat Introduces Rainwater Harvesting
Rainwater is collected from the roof via the downpipes, filtered, stored and then used for non-potable purposes including toilets, washing machines, garden hoses, for cleaning cars and other applications. It is not suitable for baths, showers or washing dishes.
Nu-Heat supplies below-ground tanks, which have the advantage of being unaffected by temperature extremes such as summer heat or freezing conditions. The tanks have a flat, two cylinder design that requires less excavation than other products and offers greater flexibility.
Rainwater harvesting plays its part in helping to achieve required levels of the Code for Sustainable Homes. When level 5 comes into force, rainwater harvesting will be a prerequisite.
