FAQs
What types of in-floor heating work best in London’s mixed climate?
In London, both electric radiant systems (heating mats or cables) and hydronic systems (water-circulation through tubing) perform exceptionally. Electric systems are ideal for smaller zones like bathrooms or renovations thanks to fast, localized warmth. Hydronic setups are highly efficient for whole-home heating, using hot water under floors to create consistent, energy-smart warmth—perfect for managing London’s seasonal temperature swings.
How energy-efficient is radiant floor heating compared to forced-air systems in London?
Radiant systems heat from the floor upward, drastically reducing heat loss seen in ducted forced-air systems. Hydronic systems, especially when combined with modern boilers or heat pumps, deliver superior efficiency. Electric systems offer precise zone control. Overall, radiant heating can be up to 25–40 % more efficient, lowering operating costs and enhancing comfort in London’s variable climate.
What flooring types deliver the best results with in-floor heating in London homes?
Materials like ceramic, porcelain tile, and natural stone conduct and retain heat exceptionally well. Engineered hardwood, certain laminates, and compatible vinyl also perform adequately. Carpeting should only be used if it has low thermal resistance; otherwise, heat may be impaired. Choosing appropriate flooring ensures radiant systems optimize warmth, efficiency, and visual appeal across London homes.
How much does in-floor heating raise the floor level in London renovations?
On average, installing radiant systems increases floor height by about ½ inch, due to layers like heating elements and thin-set or screed. This modest rise affects transitions, thresholds, cabinetry alignment, and door clearances. Designers and contractors in London should plan accordingly to maintain seamless aesthetics and functionality during renovations.
How long does the installation typically take for heated floors in London?
Installation generally spans 1–3 days for electric systems in small-to-medium rooms, including subfloor prep, layout of heating elements, testing, and flooring installation. Hydronic systems or whole-home applications require more time due to added components. Engaging professional installers ensures accurate, durable results tailored to London’s building codes and long-term performance expectations.
Can London homeowners attend to radiant floor installation themselves?
Electric systems may seem accessible, but they require accurate electrical work and resistance testing. Hydronic systems involve plumbing and pressure setup. Local regulations may also mandate certified installers. For warranty protection, safety, and peak efficiency—especially in a city with cold spells like London—professional installation remains the most reliable choice.
Do radiant floors improve air quality and offer quiet comfort in London homes?
Yes. Radiant heating systems eliminate forced-air circulation, minimizing airborne dust, allergens, and drafts—a considerable advantage during London’s colder months when homes are sealed tightly. They also operate silently, delivering even warmth without noise—perfect for bedrooms, living spaces, and health-conscious households seeking clean, peaceful environments.
How safe are electric in-floor heating systems for London homes?
Modern electric systems feature built-in safety controls such as overheat protection and dependable thermostats. They heat surfaces safely without exposed elements. Provided installation adheres to Canadian electrical codes—including those in London—these systems are secure, reliable, and offer a maintenance-free heating solution for years of peace-of-mind.
Are there energy incentives or rebates for in-floor heating in London?
While rebates for radiant systems vary, pairing hydronic systems with high-efficiency boilers or heat pumps may open eligibility for federal or provincial energy efficiency grants. London homeowners are encouraged to explore current incentive programs prior to installation to potentially reduce upfront investment and enhance long-term savings.
Does radiant floor heating enhance property value in London?
Absolutely. Heated floors are considered a premium feature that adds comfort, efficiency, and modern appeal. In London’s dynamic real estate market, radiant heating can make homes more attractive and competitive, offering a tangible upgrade that resonates with buyers and contributes to strong resale potential.

What Our Clients Say
As a DIY, I really appreciated the snow melting cable from Heavenly Heat because it is so heavily jacketed I had no trouble with damage, testing the cable before and after proved that it withstood whatever it had to during installation. I love that it has a built-in return connection; meaning the cable doesn’t have to make the “run” back to the relay panel – this made the install so much easier.
Amazing product! We installed easy mat in a family room. The family room was part of an addition that was on a slab so the room was extremely cold especially in the winter. We used the mat under pad and carpet and it heats up in minutes. We are thrilled with how this product performs.
Extremely well made and truly an excellent product. Couldn’t be happier with customer service at Heavenly Heat.
Ordered floor heating cable. Works well. A great solution for an odd shaped space and the price is great. We installed it in a bathroom floor that is above and unheated garage. Just the right solution.
It was a pleasure dealing with Heavenly Heat during home renovation project. Customer support was excellent, advising on how-to (I hired electrician at the end to install the system at the end, but still they were very helpful). Over all very positive experience.
Awesome floor heat system. I have installed Heavenly Heat as well as a couple other brands and this one for the price cannot be beat. It also comes with extras that the more expensive systems do not come with such as the alarm to let you know if you have damaged the cable during installation. The thermostat takes a bit of time to learn and is not as easy, but once you figure out how to program it, its no problem. Will definitely buy again. The floor is already nice and warm.
Good quality and much cheaper than many heating cables out there. No problem at all. I didn’t use the installation strips but bought uncoupling membrane. It makes it much easier to install since you can remove the cable and move them closer. Keep in mind you cannot cut your cable. There is some trial and error until the coverage is perfect with your cable length. Thermostat works well too and is programmable with many options.
Amazing product. Glad I went with these guys.
An awesome heating system, we used it in our bathroom renovation project; and honestly, after hours of research I couldnt find anything else even near the same quality for the same price. Would absolutely reccomend.
I’m very happy with Heavenly Heat team. It’s my 3rd project with this team and I’m always happy with their work.
