Best underfloor water heating system brand

[KayleyH]

Has anyone got advice on a particular brand of water system, good or bad experiences, what to watch put for.  Many thanks in advance.

Look in UFH section a couple of recent threads on this subject.

I wonder whether the plumbing differences are marginal? The controller might be more important. I have Uponor plumbing and Heatmiser wired controller. Works fine. Also, half-a-dozen zones (some peeps have only one).

 

This gives me full app control, but that does mean I'm dependant on the app supplier (Heatmiser in this case) (a) staying in business, and (b) keeping their server going. Having said that, it wouldn't be a big deal to swap the stats & controller, I swapped out from a Uponor non-app-based stats/controller to the Heatmiser one myself in a couple of hours. I forget the exact cost but it was around £400.

 

Personally, I would stay away from the wireless stats/controllers - you'll see that some people on BH have had reliability problems with them. Wired also means you don't have to swap any batteries.

+1 to sticking with a wired system. I had evohome before which was flaky due to low signal and awkward pairing techniques.
