Underfloor heating is characterized by high efficiency, which translates into the use of a lower temperature of the heating medium than is the case with conventional heat sources. This of course gives great opportunities for savings, but it is worth remembering that the lower heating temperature is also intended to protect the structural elements used to build the floor. How to increase the efficiency of underfloor heating? Which system to choose to control underfloor heating? Which controller for underfloor heating will be appropriate?

What do you need to know about controlling underfloor heating?
Underfloor heating control is a basic element of control that allows for obtaining optimal heating parameters ensuring efficiency and comfort. The underfloor heating controller installed with heating devices manages their functions, contributing significantly to reducing heating costs while increasing its efficiency. However, it is worth recalling a few basic rules, the knowledge of which will increase the efficiency of heating and make using the underfloor heating controller even simpler and more convenient.
It is a good idea to consider installing a floor heating system with zoning. This will allow you to individually control the temperature in different rooms, which will increase energy savings and ensure user comfort.
Using an advanced control system will allow for precise temperature control, tailored to the needs of household members. Modern thermostats and controllers have a number of useful functions, they can adjust the temperature depending on the time, day of the week or preferences of a specific user. All such actions are aimed at, among other things, efficient use of energy. The thermostat should be located in a place away from heat sources such as stoves, fireplaces or radiators. This is extremely important for the accuracy of measuring the temperature in the room.
What should the temperature be in a stove with underfloor heating?
Underfloor heating is usually more effective than traditional central heating solutions. Heat is distributed evenly over the entire surface of the room, which allows for thermal comfort even at extremely low temperatures outside the building.
The temperature of the water circulating in the underfloor heating system should be between 35 and 55°C. This is determined not only by the needs of the residents, but also by the properties of the materials from which the floor is made. Too intense heating with a heating furnace could lead to deformation or even melting of parts of the floor.
TOP 3 floor heating controllers
The selection and purchase of a floor heating controller is an investment for years. The operating costs of a building or apartment, and certainly the comfort of the tenants, depend to a large extent on it.
We present three devices that ensure efficiency, savings and a good price-quality ratio.
-
The NVENT-RAYCHEM R-SENZ WI-FI floor heating controller allows you to adjust the heating temperature to the conditions outside the building (external sensor). The fast response of the controller to temperature changes is ensured by a resistance sensor. Control is performed manually or via a dedicated application connected to the Internet. - The DEVI DEVIreg Touch thermostat is characterized by high precision of temperature measurement. Operation is facilitated by a clear LCD display, which indicates the current temperature in the room and the device's operating mode. The maximum permissible voltage on the contacts (two-wire connection) is 240 V. The attractive design predisposes the thermostat to comfortable interiors, both private and business.
- The NVENT-RAYCHEM R-GREEN-LEAF-EU floor heating controller is equipped with an external sensor, thanks to which the temperature inside the building is adjusted to the weather outside. Energy savings and thermal comfort of residents are ensured by accurate temperature measurement, possible via a resistance sensor. A wide temperature measurement range of 5 to 40°C means that the controller can be used in the heating season as well as in the summer, regulating the cooling temperature.
Underfloor heating control should take into account the parameters and type of underfloor heating system already installed. If in doubt, it is worth consulting the purchase decision with the seller or HVAC specialist to get appropriate advice and technical support.
