Underfloor heating is characterized by high efficiency, which translates into the use of a lower temperature of the heating medium than in the case of conventional heat sources. This, of course, offers great savings opportunities, 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 underfloor heating control system should you choose? Which underfloor heating controller will be suitable?

What do you need to know about controlling underfloor heating?
Controlling underfloor heating is a basic control element that allows you to obtain optimal heating parameters ensuring efficiency and comfort. The underfloor heating controller installed with heating devices manages their functions, significantly contributing 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 an underfloor heating system divided into zones. This will allow for individual temperature control in different rooms, which will increase energy savings and ensure user comfort.
The use of 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 the preferences of a specific user. All such activities are aimed, among other things, at the 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 room temperature measurement.
What should be the temperature in a furnace with underfloor heating?
Underfloor heating is usually more effective than traditional central heating solutions. The heat is distributed evenly over the entire surface of the room, which allows you to achieve thermal comfort even at extremely low temperatures outside the building.
The temperature of 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 stove could lead to deformation or even melting of parts of the floor.
TOP 3 controllers for underfloor heating
The selection and purchase of a controller for underfloor heating is an investment for years. This largely determines the operating costs of a building or apartment, and certainly the comfort of its tenants.
We present three devices that ensure efficiency, economy and a favorable price-quality ratio.
-
The NVENT-RAYCHEM R-SENZ WI-FI underfloor heating controller allows you to adjust the heating temperature to the conditions outside the building (external sensor). The controller's quick response to temperature changes is ensured by a resistance sensor. It is controlled 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 that shows the current room temperature and the device's operating mode. The maximum permissible voltage on the contacts (two-wire connection) is 240 V. The attractive design makes the thermostat suitable for comfortable interiors, both private and business.
- The NVENT-RAYCHEM R-GREEN-LEAF-EU underfloor 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 range of temperature measurements ranging from 5 to 40°C means that the controller can be used both in the heating and summer seasons to regulate the cooling temperature.
Underfloor heating control should take into account the parameters and type of the already installed underfloor heating system. If in doubt, the purchase decision should be consulted with the seller or an HVAC specialist to obtain appropriate advice and technical support.
