How Underfloor Heating Works
Underfloor heating works by circulating warm water through continuous loops of plastic pipework fitted under the floor, producing a gentle even heat. The surface of the floor becomes a large radiant surface, which heats the room from the floor up, with no cold spots or draughts.
Conventional radiator systems function primarily by convected heat. Radiators draw cold air in from the floor where it is then heated and convected upwards towards the roof; cold spots and draughts are common features caused by the constantly circulating air.
Underfloor heating is acknowledged as one of the most effective methods of obtaining uniform heat distribution and high comfort levels. At Matt England Plumbing Heating we can help design and install your bespoke system.
Some Benefits
Space
There is no wall space given up to radiators allowing the freedom to furnish as you wish.
Comfort
Underfloor heating offers high levels of performance and comfort; there are no cold spots or draughty floors. By the use of individual room controls performance can be further enhanced. Warm floors allow the likes of tiles to be installed and still be comfortable on the feet.
Running Costs
Typically lower running costs than a conventional system and, if combined with a Heat Pump, further efficiencies can be made.
Health & Safety
There are no hot surfaces to burn yourself on (ideal for Schools and Hospitals). A heated floor has been shown to be a hostile environment for dust mites.
Maintenance
The only joints in the system are at the manifold allowing one point for maintenance.

Biomass Explained
In energy terms, 'biomass' can be viewed as a form of stored solar energy: the sun's energy is captured and stored in the tissues of living material. This energy is released directly, e.g. by combustion (burning), or is converted into intermediate products which are then used to release the stored energy (e.g. refining, to produce liquid transport fuels or anaerobic digestion to produce 'biogas').
Biomass materials are currently used to provide heat, electrical and motive power. They already make an important contribution to the UK's renewable energy supply and the use of biomass energy has the potential to significantly reduce carbon dioxide emissions.

Landlord Safety Certificates
It is law that all property landlords who rent property are required to have all gas appliances and pipe work checked by a Gas safe engineer who will provide them with a CP 12 Gas Safety Certificate which is needed every 12 months.
The CP 12 certificate is a legal requirement and should be a high priority for all landlords and tenants and only competent gas safe registered engineers can carry out the inspection.
When Absolute Energy Services carry out a Landlord Gas Safety Inspection we do the following during the CP 12 Gas Safety Inspection:
For a Landlords Safety Record inspection a tightness check of the full system should be added to the below list
We will check all appliances for gas tightness, checking for leaks or any pressure loss.
Check standing and working pressure if test points available.
Test the burner pressure and gas rate against manufacturer’s data sheet.
Test for satisfactory provision of necessary ventilation.
Test flue flow to ensure removal of products of combustion.
Test satisfactory operation of all the flame failure devices.
Test for physical stability, presence.
Investigate any evidence of unsafe operation and report to a responsible person. An appliance cannot be deemed as having been checked, until the above has been completed.
