While under floor heating is most popular in new homes, you can replace other systems in older homes with under floor heating. If you've decided to remodel parts of your home, it's the perfect time to add under floor heating. Popular places to add under floor heating systems include bathrooms, mudrooms, and kitchens, but you can add them to any room you like.

The installation of water-based under floor heating systems requires extensive work, as heating units must be installed and pipes must be placed underneath the floors in an often intricate network. Electric under floor heating systems, on the other hand, are much easier to install and operate much like an electric blanket. A series of thin heating cables, no thicker than a coin, are installed under your floor and then connected to their own thermostat.

Though some individuals may be more comfortable hiring a contractor to install their under floor heating, many are capable of undertaking the project themselves. If you have a concrete subfloor, you first lay a substrate for the heating cables and then secure the heating cables to the substrate. You can then lay trowel over the cable system, and then your flooring is installed on top. It's recommended, however, that you contract an electrician to connect the cables to the thermostat.
