Can I really reduce my heating by 2 – 4 degrees compared to “traditional” heating? 

Gas central heating is a “convective” system (using air as the heat transfer medium) - warm air rises to fill the room with heat from the ceiling downwards, the air then cools and falls to be re-heated again causing a continuous cycle of warmed air that is hotter at ceiling level and cooler at floor level.

UFH uses radiant heat as a transfer medium, minimising heat loss through the ceiling and maintaining the temperature at floor level, allowing the temperature to be reduced without loss of comfort.

Radiant heat also maintains the humidity (air moisture) in a room making UFH the obvious choice for anyone with airborne allergies or respiratory problems.
