Yes, you can.However, if your heaters exceed 3.3 kW you will need to get a qualified electrician to make provision for a separate supply from your Distribution Board.

This depends largely on your electrical knowledge and experience.

All COLDBUSTER® heating products have been designed with your safety in mind and are fully earth screened;  however proper installation is paramount to ensure safety.

Please follow the installation instructions carefully.  If in doubt, employ a competent person to install or check your heating system.

Energy consumption depends on each individual’s comfort needs.  However, 1kW of underfloor heating will be more efficient and cheaper to run than a 1kW conventional heater, due to thermostat control and the even spread of the heating over the floor surface.

Energy efficiency can be further optimised by installing insulation in your floor below the heating element.

Average response time is from 30 – 45 minutes, depending on the type and thickness of the flooring.  Typically the floor temperature increases by 4°C in the first half hour after switching on.

A thermostat will ensure optimum comfort while running the system cost-effectively.

The desired temperature (called the setpoint) is dialed or programmed into the thermostat.  The thermostat switches the heating on and off to keep the room temperature at this set point.

In this way, energy consumption is reduced because of the heater not demanding a continuous supply of electric current.

The COLDBUSTER® underfloor heating system is classified as a fixed appliance, and as such does not form part of your house wiring system.  The heating will be disconnected during testing for electrical compliance.

We have a professional advisory team on standby to consult with you.  Should you need assistance call the COLDBUSTER helpline: 0860 554 629.
