Hello,

I wanted to ask about the cost of installing underfloor heating. I would like to have this in the bathroom when I renovate it. Can anyone provide information on the expected costs?

Thank you very much!

Regards

Nico

Hi,

It mainly depends on the size of the area. How big is the bathroom? Friends of mine had underfloor heating installed in their apartment, which is 120m² (1,292 sq ft), and it cost about 14,500 euros in total.

Best regards, Mara 🙂

Hello!

I have been interested in underfloor heating for a while now. However, the cost aspect is always a tricky issue. What are the specific advantages and disadvantages to consider when deciding on underfloor heating?

Hi!

One advantage is that the entire floor surface is heated evenly. This results in a continuous increase in room temperature. This benefits, for example, fine dust allergy sufferers, as less dust is stirred up. Additionally, a significant amount of energy can be saved.

Hello!

Saving energy in the end is definitely an advantage. However, the costs to install underfloor heating are really not insignificant. I wonder if the money spent can be recovered through energy savings. Probably not... 🙄

Hi,

A underfloor heating system uses water that is only 30 degrees Celsius (86 degrees Fahrenheit) warm. You can say that the energy consumption is about 50% compared to conventional radiators. Additionally, energy can be saved by using thermally conductive building materials in the floor. If you also ventilate properly, heating becomes really cost-effective!
