Hydronic Slab Heating
Hydronic slab heating uses hot water pipe embedded in a concrete slab floor to provide home heating. The slab stores the heat, and steadily releases it to provide continuous warmth to your home 24 hours a day.
When using off-peak electricity, slab heating can be an economical method of providing home heating if set at a suitable temperature in a well insulated home. In new homes, cables are laid when the slab is poured and testing is carried out throughout the pouring stage to ensure the cables are not damaged.
Where off-peak tariffs are available, the system is charged overnight and during the afternoon. If the system is sized correctly, it will provide sufficient heat for comfortable temperatures over a 24 hour period. An afternoon boosting period is generally required as overnight charging alone is insufficient to heat most homes.
