Being the resilient Canadians that we are, we are always on the lookout for clever ways to combat the cold weather. We invest in good quality home heating and spend a majority of our utility bills on it.

If you are still on the lookout for ways to fight the frigid weather, you might want to consider under floor heating (UFH). Under floor heating is an efficient way for you to heat a greater surface area in your home without causing your utility bill to spike off the roof. When used in combination with an efficiently running heating system, under floor heating can efficiently retain the heat where you need it most – inside your home.

If expensive upfront costs intimidate you, you might want to consider the low operational costs under floor heating gives. Both gas and water-based under floor heating are far less cheaper compared to other heating methods you can use in combination with your heating system.

Below, we run down the benefits of having under floor heating for your home. Read on to know more.
