Heating · Underfloor
Underfloor heating, designed for even and efficient warmth.
Wet underfloor heating is comfortable and efficient, and it pairs well with a heat pump. When it is not balanced, or a manifold valve or pump fails, some rooms stay cold. We find out why and fix it.
In short
C. Kenneally installs, balances and repairs wet underfloor heating in Cork homes, including manifolds, pumps, actuators and controls. Underfloor heating pairs well with a heat pump. If some rooms stay cold, the cause is usually balancing, a failed actuator or a pump, and we find which before replacing anything.

- Underfloor designed into heat pump installations where the floor allows.
Why underfloor suits a heat pump
Underfloor heating spreads heat across a large area, so it runs at a lower water temperature than radiators. Heat pumps are most efficient at low water temperatures. See Heat Pumps.
Electric underfloor
We work on wet (water) underfloor systems. Electric mats in bathrooms need an electrician; we can work alongside one on a bathroom refit.
Questions
Frequently asked questions
Can you add underfloor heating to an existing house?
Sometimes. It usually needs the floor lifted or a low-profile system laid over it, so it is most often done in an extension or during a major renovation. We will tell you honestly whether it is worth it.
