Absolutely. Ice Energy are the market leaders in the provision of Underfloor Heating for Heat Pumps. We have the skills and experience to ensure your floor heating system is ideally complimented by your Heat Pump to maximise its efficiency and benefits to you.
This will depend upon the build / renovation schedule of your specific project. Generally, we would advise that the property should be airtight before the floor heating is installed.
The Underfloor Heating pipework is guaranteed for 25 years but should last well in excess of this. To ensure the longevity of the pipework and prevent any leaks at a later stage, the pipework is fully tested during the install stage to detect any leakage and prevent issues later.
In the unlikely event of a leak occurring, it will usually happen at the manifold as the pipes should have been pressure tested before installation. As a result this should make the leak very easy to locate and rectify cost effectively.
This is an important question which should feature in any Underfloor Heating FAQ. The correct floor covering should be carefully considered to ensure heat is not prevented from rising into the room by the floor covering. As you might expect, Ice Energy can give expert advice on floor covering to ensure the best results without restricting the design of your home.
This is another regular entry on an Underfloor Heating FAQ. Installation of floor heating is obviously easier within a new build project, but if designed correctly, you can still enjoy the benefits of heating your property using underfloor heat on a retrofit basis. Ice Energy has succesfully installed Underfloor Heating for a range of retrofit projects and has therefore gained extensive experience in this field.
This is another important component of any Underfloor Heating FAQ. Understandably, you need to have the confidence that your floor heating system will stand the test of time. Our pipe manufacturer is so convinced by the quality of their product that they offer a standard pipework warranty of 25 years.
We also provide a 2 year parts warranty on all the component parts.
