Drawbacks of Older Technology
Storage Heaters
Older-type underfloor heating systems embed either hot water pipes or thick electric heating cables in the concrete slab on the ground level. This technology, aptly named storage heating, must first warm the concrete mass before heat can begin to dissipate into the home.
Often taking days to reach operating temperature, homeowners must rely on supplementary forms of heating when the temperature suddenly drops - negating the benefits of a pure radiant heating system. During warmer times of the day or when no one is home, storage systems waste large amounts of energy dissipating heat unnecessarily.
- Cannot Heat Multilevel Homes
- Expensive or Impossible to Repair
- Heater Layout Fixed for the Life of the Home
- Requires Days to Warm
- Runs When Not Needed
- New Homes Only
- Prohibitively Expensive to Run

Surface Heaters
Surface heating systems are located directly under the floor covering, allowing heat to transfer rapidly into the room above in as little as 30 - 45 minutes. Unlike storage heaters, they run only as needed saving considerable amounts of energy. Current products, however, are not without their drawbacks:
Heating Mats, Pads or Mesh Strips
- Cold Spots on Floor
- Difficult to Heat Around Obstacles
- Often No Floor Temperature Sensor
- Different Heaters for Tiles, Carpet, etc
- Difficult to Repair
Fixed Length Cable Systems
- Generic Heaters Squashed into a Room
- Difficult and Time Consuming to Install
- Inconsistent Heat Levels Across Floor
- Inconsistent Heat Levels Between Rooms
- Difficult to Repair
- Multiple Heaters for Large Areas
