It's simple and cost-effective to include underfloor heating as part of a new-build project. Choose from traditional screed systems, like ClipTrack, or save up to 60 days on site with innovative FastDeck. Adding as little as 15mm height build-up, and offering high heat outputs, there's a LoPro system for every type of property. An integrated heat pump and underfloor heating system is around 40% more efficient than a fossil fuel boiler with radiators. Aside from their eco credentials, heat pumps also qualify for government incentives, have a long life expectancy, and offer low running costs.
At Nu-Heat we're committed to designing bespoke systems that perform, but what really sets us apart from our competitors is the way we work with you.

The way we heat homes is changing. Driven by the government's environmental focus and homeowners' choice to 'go green', the heat pump market is growing rapidly. Nu-Heat is proud to be the most experienced integrated heat pump and underfloor heating specialist in the country. As an MCS accredited company, we know what it takes to design an efficient heat pump system that effectively heats a home whilst keeping running costs low.
Many people choose electric underfloor heating to warm smaller rooms that are usually tiled, such as kitchens, bathrooms or wet rooms. Nu-Heat's ElectroMat OneZone is an easy-to-fit electric underfloor heating kit that can cover floor areas of up to 18m. This low-cost and simple to install underfloor heating kit offers an affordable way to enjoy electric UFH in one single room. We'll also cover FAQs about underfloor heating electricians and using electric underfloor heating for the first time. The ElectroMat OneZone electric underfloor heating kit includes a decoupling membrane and underfloor heating cable.
The majority of popular floor coverings are suitable for use with underfloor heating (UFH), meaning that you have a wide choice of flooring to suit the look and feel of your home. The best flooring for underfloor heating is one that efficiently transfers heat from the UFH to the surface of the floor. Hard surfaces like stone or ceramic tiles, or engineered wood, offer the best heat transfer as they are the most thermally conductive, but many other options work well. Sensitive floor coverings can be protected by a floor sensor that limits the top temperature of the UFH, and even carpet can be a good match provided the combined tog value of the carpet and any underlay is less than 2.5.
A OneZone kit includes everything you need to install underfloor heating in one room only - whether large or small - where a full system design is not required. This could be as part of a new extension or a renovation project, such as refitting a kitchen or bathroom. LoProMax OneZone is a low-profile underfloor heating system that offers an impressive heat output. Because of this, it is particularly well suited to kitchens, conservatories and areas with large windows or bi-fold doors. Lightweight, versatile and easy to install, LoProLite OneZone is another single room underfloor heating solution for renovation projects.
Underfloor heating can bring a touch of luxury to any home, but deciding what floor covering to opt for can be a confusing task. The best way to decide is to think about the purpose of the room that you require flooring for. For example, bathroom floors get wet and entrances and utilities often get muddy, particularly if there are pets to consider. Tiling underfloor heating is a great option. Not only is it easy to clean but, it's practical for bathrooms and kitchens where underfloor heating is commonly installed!
A ground source heat pump (GSHP) is an energy efficient, renewable energy solution that is particularly suited for properties on larger plots. Up to 400% efficient, this type of heat pump extracts the free heat from the ground to generate heating and hot water, reducing your energy bills and carbon footprint. The most popular type of GSHP uses horizontal ground loops to collect the heat stored within the ground and transfer this to the property as heating or hot water. Ground loops need a large area of land to work effectively - typically at least three times the total floor area of your property, including ground and upper floors.
Creating a comfortable indoor environment with complete control of a building's energy consumption is easily achievable when using the right controls to manage the temperature and ensure the system only runs when it's required. Nu-Heat supplies a comprehensive range of underfloor heating thermostats from simple to use dial-type and easy to install wireless thermostats to internet-enabled units with Smartphone control. The innovative neo system delivers outstanding control on the move - directly from a smartphone or tablet - when paired with the neoHub.
Our intelligent software takes the guesswork out of underfloor heating design. Here's how we plan the best solution for your property - from choosing the right underfloor heating pipe spacing, to planning a bespoke CAD design layout. Optimiser uses room-by-room heat-loss calculations to ensure the precise performance of the system in every part of the property. This ensures that the underfloor heating layout offers maximum efficiency throughout your home. Our software factors floor coverings into the underfloor heating design, which can impact on the heating response time.
A well-designed heat pump system transfers around three times more energy into a property as heat than is uses to extract it from the ground or air. As a result, heat pumps have the potential to significantly lower fuel bills, particularly in properties without access to mains gas. Heat pumps are possibly the most energy-efficient heat source for your home, extracting free heat from the air or ground to generate heating and hot water, and reducing your energy bills and carbon footprint. In a well-insulated property, every kilowatt hour (kWh) of electricity used to power the heat pump can provide around three kWh of 'free' thermal energy.
There's a wide range of water underfloor heating systems to choose from. We will help you to select the perfect match for the property based on the type of project, the heat output required and any build schedule considerations. Water underfloor heating is often the number one choice for someone building their own home. It is simple to install, affordable and very efficient. There are several UFH systems to choose from if installing in a new build, two of the most popular being ClipTrack screed UFH and FastDeck.
There are three systems in the LoPro retrofit underfloor heating range, with more information shown below. LoProMax offers the highest heat output of all the LoPro retrofit underfloor heating systems. It's an ideal solution if you want an overlay underfloor heating kit with extra punch, and works on existing concrete floors. LoProMax is available as a fully-designed retrofit UFH system and as a OneZone kit for single areas. The overlay underfloor heating system or kit is covered in LoProQuickSet, a highly conductive self-levelling compound that is supplied as standard.
Underfloor heating is an efficient and affordable way to heat your home. Discover how you could install underfloor heating, what the benefits are and what the best underfloor heating system for your property type is. One of the main benefits of underfloor heating systems is how they feel. As the heat gently emits upwards from the floor, it makes usually cold floors warm to the touch. Another advantage of UFH is that it produces an even warmth, eliminating any cold spots or draughts that are common with radiators.
If we could give more than 5/5 stars we would. Our experience with Nu-Heat has been overwhelmingly positive so far. We had problems during our installation caused by a rogue installer (not affiliated with Nu-Heat) and Nu-Heat managed the whole process flawlessly - from video calls showing them the install, to replacing materials damaged by the installer, to follow up calls to ensure we were back on track. A superb example of what good customer service should be. And on top of that a fantastic product. Thank you
John was very professional and helpful. We discussed in detail potential future problems with Nibe ASHP and he demonstrated how to fix them. I've been installing HPs over many years, and meeting John had been a good learning curve. I very much enjoyed the meeting today.
For my lengthy self-build project I used Nu-Heat for the supply of underfloor heating, unvented hot water cylinder and air source heat pump system, which I and an electrician installed. From early encounters at trade shows, system design with superb diagrams, through to supply and eventual commissioning, and with many pleasant contacts during the process, mostly with technical support, I have been pleased and impressed throughout. I have nothing negative to report and can happily recommend Nu-Heat.
