All costs rise due to inflation. But what will the price of underfloor heating be in 2023? But how do you determine the cost of underfloor heating? To determine this, several factors influence the total price of underfloor heating. Factors include, for example, the number of square meters of the space that needs to be heated, the assets per square meter, whether you have underfloor heating lays itself or him have it laid and whether it water-based underfloor heating or electric underfloor heating is.
What are the costs of water-based underfloor heating?
Water-based underfloor heating is a system where hot water flows through the heating pipes. This hot water comes from your heating source, such as a central heating boiler, a hybrid heat pump, or a ground source heat pump. This heats your floor and, consequently, your home. There are two types of water-based underfloor heating: supplementary heating and primary heating. main heating Is the underfloor heating the only underfloor heating in the room, and are the pipe spacings smaller? The rule here is 10 centimeters. additional heating Other heating methods are also used, and the distance between pipes is approximately 15 centimeters. Other supplementary heating options include radiators. Because the distance between pipes varies, you need more pipe length for primary heating. This means that primary heating automatically costs more than supplementary heating. How much do the costs of primary heating and supplementary heating differ? You can find that in the overview below.
In addition to the two types of underfloor heating, you can also install it in two ways. You can use mats ( mounting systems ) or you can have the underfloor heating pipes Milling . If you're planning to install underfloor heating in an existing home—with a dry-wall system—then mats are a good solution. If you're installing underfloor heating in a new-build home—with a wet-wall system—milling is a good idea. The cost difference is shown in the overview below.

What are the costs of electric underfloor heating?
With electric underfloor heating, your floor is heated by electricity. There are two types of electric underfloor heating to choose from: heating mats or heating cables. The electric heating mats can be applied directly to an existing finished floor and are therefore often used in renovation projects. electrical cables are laid in a cement screed floor. This is often done in new-build homes. The electric heatboard cables These are cables that fit precisely into the pre-formed cable ducts in the system plate and can therefore also be installed on an existing finished floor (dry construction). But what is the price difference for these options? We've outlined it for you in the table below.

What are these costs based on?
The price which is calculated above for the electric underfloor heating with mats consists only of the price for the mat as listed in our webshop. This does not include a thermostat (see mat set for a complete set). For the cables We've distinguished between cables and heatboard cables. Here, we've used the 10-watt-per-meter cables as an example. The number of watts per meter determines the underfloor heating's output. The price for both is solely the price of the cables. Installation systems are not included.
In addition, you can save costs by using underfloor heating yourself at laying . Have the underfloor heating installed by a external side Installing? This naturally involves additional costs, such as labor and installation. Are you handy? Save money and install it yourself.
