ᐅ Underfloor heating also in the utility room / technical room

Hello,

Is it common to install underfloor heating in the utility room (ground floor), or is that usually avoided? In our utility room, there will be the gas boiler (with a 300-liter (79-gallon) hot water tank), the ventilation system, as well as the washing machine and dryer. Should underfloor heating be planned there as well?
How did you handle this?

Best regards,
Sabine

Our two heating circuit manifolds are located in the storage rooms.

So they cannot be used as buffer tanks.

Correct. It’s not designed for that purpose. There is another room intended for that.

But actually, it's a waste. Now you have a nicely warm storage room. It would be smarter to have this in the bathroom.

The utility room, as often mentioned, is indirectly heated by the heating circuit valve (HKV) usually installed there. The technical equipment also contributes to the heating.

In our case, the laundry room serves as the utility room, meaning it contains the washing machine, dryer, as well as the ironing station and work surfaces for folding clothes. Therefore, the time spent there is longer than in the technical room. We have installed some heating pipes running through this room on the way to other areas, so it is indirectly heated. This does not cost much and does not require a separate heating circuit.

I don’t want the visually unattractive distribution boxes to be in plain sight.
