Electric in-slab heating uses heating cables embedded in a concrete slab floor to provide home heating. The slab stores the heat at night and releases it to provide continuous warmth to the home during the day. Using off-peak electricity, in-slab heating is an economical method of providing 24 hour heating, if set at a suitable temperature in a well insulated home.
In-floor heating is efficient to install and run and is so versatile it can be incorporated into almost any building project. Warmth is evenly distributed from wall to wall due to the in-floor heating cables being evenly embedded within the floor. This makes it ideal for children since there are no hot surfaces or dangerous objects to contend with. In-floor heating is perfect for carpeted, tiled and polished concrete floors and some timber floors.
Health benefits
In-floor heating creates an environment which helps to eliminateor minimize the ‘trigger factors’ that can cause allergic reactions.* With electric in-floor heating no material from combustion is generated or circulated, nor are dust particles or other airborne allergy ‘triggers’ distributed.

* Minimizing allergic reactions also involves maintaining a uniform temperature whilst minimising the build-up or disturbance of dust. Adequate ventilation, effective removal of moisture and fumes, direct sunlight and the circulation of fresh filtered air also help to achieve this.
