Home Comfort: Why Smart, Close-to-Surface Underfloor Heating Wins

Close-to-surface underfloor heating with smart, time-programmed control — delivering instant comfort, precise zoning, and lower energy bills.

In modern homes, comfort and efficiency should work together. Electric underfloor heating already delivers a luxurious, even warmth. But its real potential is unlocked when two things come together: a close-to-surface installation and a smart, time-programmed thermostat like SENZ WIFI.

Faster Heat, Less Waste

Installing heating cables just beneath the floor covering means the system warms the surface directly, rather than slowly heating a thick screed or slab. This low thermal mass reacts quickly — reaching comfort temperature in minutes and cooling down just as fast when not needed. The result: warmth exactly when you want it, without wasting energy.

Smarter Heating for Modern Living

Traditional systems often heat entire rooms — or even the whole house — continuously, regardless of use. A smart, programmable thermostat changes that. By creating independent zones for each room, you heat only the spaces you’re using, only at the times you need them.

• Precision & Comfort: Radiant heat warms people and objects directly, so you feel cozy at lower air temperatures.
• Energy Savings: No more heating empty rooms for hours.
• Renewable Ready: Perfect for pairing with solar panels or home batteries to use stored green energy efficiently.

More Than Efficiency

Beyond lower bills, this approach offers:

• Even, Draft-Free Warmth from the ground up.
• Cleaner Air with no dust circulation.
• More Space without bulky radiators.
• Added Property Value thanks to modern, efficient heating.

A close-to-surface underfloor heating system, paired with a time-programmed smart thermostat, delivers rapid comfort, precise control, and lasting efficiency — making it a really smart heating investment.
