Can I install underfloor heating myself?
Yes – underfloor heating systems are straightforward enough for almost any competent DIYer to install themselves.
However, Part P of Building Regulations states that a NICEIC registered electrician needs to sign off all electric systems installed in your home – including electrical underfloor heating systems.
If you have any questions about the installation process, or you’re looking for an installer to fit your underfloor heating, get in touch with Michael White Electrical Services.
We have been installing such systems across East and West Sussex for more than two decades, and pride ourselves on working quickly without skimping on quality or safety.
How long does underfloor heating take to warm up?
The time it takes for underfloor heating to heat up can vary between 30 minutes and 4 hours, depending on the:
• thickness and type of floor finish
• level of insulation in the floor and building
• type of substrate
• room temperature
• amount of heat loss
If your electrical underfloor heating takes even longer to warm up, your system may be malfunctioning.
There are lots of reasons why your underfloor heating might not be working – however, the best thing to do is get a professional to look at it.
Our electricians here at Michael White Electrical Services are fully trained and qualified to conduct electric underfloor heating repairs. They will use their finely honed skills and the latest technology to identify the fault and resolve the issue, whilst ensuring minimal mess.

Should underfloor heating be left on all day in the winter?
Toying with the idea of installing electric underfloor heating, but worried about leaving it on for prolonged periods?
Fear not, our experts know everything there is to know about underfloor heating systems and will be more than happy to guide and advise you.
Given that it can take several hours to heat up, it’s best not to completely turn off your underfloor heating throughout the cold winter months.
Admittedly, you don’t need it on high all day long – but keeping it on at a low temperature consistently will ensure that your room heats up faster when you need it to.
It’s also worth investing in a smart thermostat so you can programme your system from anywhere, at any time. This way you can make your rooms warm and cosy for your return home.

Is underfloor heating expensive to repair?
Underfloor heating is renowned for its reliability. For the most part, it distributes heat evenly and consistently within each room and keeps your feet toasty warm – meaning you can walk around barefoot all year.
However, faults can arise. Some of the most common include problems with the thermostat, temperature sensor, or damaged electric cables.
The cost to repair electrical underfloor heating will vary depending on the complexity of the issue and the hourly rate of your chosen electrician.
For example, minor jobs that take little more than an hour or two to complete are likely to be cheaper than large-scale repair jobs, and most electricians charge more on weekends and evenings than they do during the day Monday to Friday.
For a clear idea of how much it will cost you to have your underfloor heating repaired, contact our specialists and we’ll get back to you with a tailored quote for the necessary remedial work.
