Warmup Radiant Floor Heating Systems – A Step Ahead

March 14th, 2011

Imagine a heating system that will go on keeping you and your family toasty warm for over 30 years. If that sounds amazing, that’s what we offer at Warmup!
Our electric radiant heat system comes with a 30 year warranty in the US and for a Lifetime in the UK to give you peace of mind, as well as providing the most comfortable kind of heating in your home.

Our radiant heating system is constructed with the goal of being the thinnest and toughest electric floor heating element that’s available, and thanks to advances in insulation techniques and heating systems, it can now be applied not only to tile and stone floors, but we also have heating systems to warm up laminate and wooden floors as well as carpeted areas and floating floors.

That means you can have floor heating through your whole house, gaining the benefits of efficient heating with low running costs. Our radiant floor heating systems are extremely flexible in its design because they are so thin they do not raise floor levels and can work round your existing room layouts, however complicated they are.

It’s not a tricky job to install our electric floor heating, and you won’t have to dig anything up the floor or struggle to put down concrete. Our radiant heating systems can usually be simply laid out taped down and then then tiled/floored over – as easy as that (please make sure to read the installlation manual).

Even the way you use your Warmup electric floor heating is flexible, thanks to our programmable thermostat regulating the temperature. You can heat your home via a set program and relax as the thermostat remembers the perfect heat level you set a day/week/month earlier – so it’s perfect whatever your requirements are.

Electric Underfloor Heating – The Revolution

March 14th, 2011

Underfloor heating has been the revolution in heating systems in recent years, and it’s no wonder it is popular with those who choose to buy it.

For starters, it does away with radiators, which waste valuable wall space and detract from the clean modern look that is so desirable today, radiators are also an inefficient way of heating up your home providing through poor heat signatures. That can mean you are also wasting money – and that’s something no-one wants to do.

With underfloor heating systems, the heat rises evenly through your room, unlike radiators where the person closest to the radiator is warmer than a person at the other side of the room.

There are further benefits. Electric underfloor heating, for instance, requires no maintenance in the way a conventional heating system does, – Warmup undertile heaters come with market leading guarantees and are built to last for the lifetime of your floor so as not to let you down.

What’s more, electric under floor heating is a quick way to heat your home. Installed on an insulated floor, it gets up to the correct temperature in just 20 minutes, which compares extremely favourably with radiator or other water based central heating systems, which can take a number of hours to heat up your room.

So when it comes to comfort, you really can’t beat electric underfloor heating. Your room is heated evenly and without stuffiness, and you’ll be warm no matter where you sit in the room. It’s also easy to turn of the heating in individual rooms that you are not using, helping to save money – a very efficient and environmental solution.

Underfloor Heating – Cleaner, Eco-friendly And Efficient Heating for New Zealand

June 24th, 2010

Climate change and the dwindling supply of fossil fuels has become a pressing issue for anyone that is conscious of our environment. New Zealand has a great international image of being a clean and environmentally friendly country and has the objective of becoming carbon neutral in electrical energy by 2025. It is now a prerequisite for New Zealand builders and architects to create property that has better insulation and is more energy efficient, this need for energy efficiency has increased the demand for economical and efficient methods of heating a property.

One of the best and least intrusive methods of heating a property is by using underfloor heating. New Zealand’s leading supplier of radiant underfloor heating, Warmup (www.warmup.co.nz) are at the forefront of producing environmentally friendly heating methods, as highlighted by the recent introduction of their Future Proof Building Partnership along with Warmup’s pending BRANZ Appraisal.

Warmup’s underfloor heating systems reflect the heat upwards and are designed to heat the property not the earth, also allowing individual ‘zoning’ whereby room temperature can be individually adjusted to suit individuals needs, allowing one to focus the energy exactly where it is needed.

Warmup’s radiant heat technology has recently been featured on CNN’s top rated show ‘Open House’ where they discussed the virtues of radiant heat and the fact that its global popularity is booming due to the energy efficiency and ability to incorporate the systems without detrimentally effecting the aesthetics of a property.
