PRM Solutions Ltd will provide a quotation to suit your specification.
There is no obligation or charge if you do not wish to proceed with the quotation.
Design/Drawing
We carry out the design of underfloor heating systems, tailored to fulfil our customer’s individual
requirements.
Design Check List
We require the following details:
- Heat losses
- Floor construction types
- Floor coverings
- Large window or glazed areas
- Preferred manifold positions
- Any specified insulation
- Any requirement for sound insulation
Installation
We offer a complete installation service of underfloor pipe work to manifolds. This will be tested.
Connecting the manifold to the heating system is best left to a competent plumber, so too is the
wiring – a qualified electrician will be needed.
Commissioning
The commissioning service is an optional extra, which we strongly recommend. This will ensure that the system
is running at its optimum efficiency.
These are some of the key aspects of the commissioning service:
- Balance the manifold(s) to ensure that the appropriate flow rate is achieved for the various circuits/zones.
- Calibration of room stats, to ensure the temperature demand is accurate.
- Control orientation, which ensures that the correct room stat and actuator head(s) are connected to the appropriate circuits on the manifold(s).
- Setting the mixer valve to the required temperature.
- Heat checks of the various rooms/zones, to ensure that the floors are reaching the required temperature.
The type of system installed varies on every project, therefore, please contact us for details of the cost of our
Commissioning Service.
Note: An underfloor heating system that has not been commissioned in the appropriate manner, may well result in poor or greatly reduced performance.

Why use underfloor heating?
Benefits
Warm water under floor heating systems can be effectively powered by any heat source, traditional gas or oil powered condensing boilers and wood burning stoves or solar panels and heat pumps (ground source or air to water). Whatever happens in the future to fuel costs or new technological developments, under floor heating can be married to the heat source to provide extra economical comfort.
Hygiene - less dust is circulated and with floors being warm this decreases the amount of dust mites and bacteria allowing a healthier environment for asthma and allergy suffers.
Space - this allows you to have the freedom of design.
Why use water and not electric under floor heating?
With today’s uncertainty about future energy policies and rising energy prices, warm water underfloor heating, is always a safer option. Warm water systems allow you to switch heat sources from say gas, or oil and utilise new technology for instances heat pumps, pellet burners or even solar panel heating.
These options are simply not available if direct acting electric heating is selected.
