Our underfloor heating plumbers specialise in hydronic heating systems that circulate hot water through pipes embedded under the floor. Water can be heated from different sources, such as gas, oil, or electric boilers, air source heat pumps, or solar thermal panels.
For landlords who rent out their properties under the Residential Tenancies Act 1986, you must ensure your property meets the Healthy Homes Heating Standard in New Zealand. Your underfloor heating system must directly heat your main living room and reach a minimum temperature of 18°C to create a warm and healthy living space for tenants. Gas-flued heaters (at least 1.5kW) and electric heaters with thermostats (between 1.5kW and 2.4kW) are generally compliant. However, large electric heaters (over 2.4kW) are not recommended due to high energy consumption and associated costs.
Building codes specify minimum insulation levels for floors and walls in homes with underfloor heating systems, ensuring efficient operation while preventing heat loss. The exact insulation requirements are in the New Zealand Building Code (NZBC) Clause H1 Energy Efficiency. Sounds complicated? No need to worry; Blueline Plumbing’s underfloor heating specialistsare well-versed in New Zealand building codes and regulations and will take care of all the fine details associated with your project. Let’s talk!Not all flooring types are compatible with underfloor heating systems. For example, solid wood can expand and contract with temperature changes, causing warping or cracking, while thick carpets can act as an insulator that reduces heat transfer efficiency. Natural stone tiles, engineered wood flooring, and luxury vinyl tile are excellent alternatives that offer outstanding thermal conductivity and durability. When working with Blueline, our underfloor heating specialists will assess your property and discuss your options.
Not necessarily. Underfloor heating is a more energy-efficient way to heat your home than traditional radiators due to the lower operating temperatures and even heat distribution.
However, it’s important to note that other factors, like the efficiency of your heating source and the usage of your underfloor heating system, can influence your energy usage. Blueline Plumbing, Gasfitting, and Heating installs well-designed and easy-to-control systems that help you optimise energy use.
The duration of your underfloor heating installation project depends on the size and complexity of your home, as large homes with multiple rooms or complex layouts will take longer. Your flooring type and the presence of existing plumbing and electrical systems can influence how much time we require as well.
At Blueline Plumbing, we prioritise clear communication throughout your underfloor heating project so you are fully informed at every step. During our initial consultation, we’ll thoroughly assess your property and provide a realistic time frame for installation.
