Underfloor heating: invisible comfort with total efficiency

He underfloor heating It is one of the most efficient and comfortable air conditioning systems on the market. Although it is not new, it has evolved significantly and is now an ideal option for both new construction and rehabilitation.

In LambásAs specialists in air conditioning and the distribution of professional solutions, we tell you why underfloor heating is gaining ground compared to other systems.

✅ 1. Uniform thermal comfort

One of its great advantages is the homogeneous heat distributionUnlike radiators or splits, underfloor heating heats from the bottom up, achieving a pleasant thermal sensation without drafts.

✔️ Cold spots and temperature spikes are eliminated.
✔️ Ideal for large rooms and high ceilings.

✅ 2. High energy efficiency

Underfloor heating works with low temperature water (30–40 °C compared to 70–80 °C for radiators). This translates into:

  • Energy savings of up to 25–30 % compared to traditional systems.

  • Optimal performance when combined with heat pumps or aerothermal energy.

✅ 3. Compatible with renewable energies

It is the perfect complement for sustainable facilities:

  • Works especially well with aerothermal energy and geothermal energy.

  • It can be integrated into homes with solar thermal or photovoltaic panels.

This makes it a ideal option to comply with energy efficiency regulations (CTE, NZEB, ErP 2025).

✅ 4. Maximum architectural freedom

Being hidden under the floor, the system allows:

  • Avoid visible radiators or wall/ceiling mounted appliances.

  • Greater freedom to decorate or furnish rooms.

  • Cleaner, more modern finishes.

Ideal for interior designers, architects and developers looking for solutions efficient and aesthetically discreet.

✅ 5. Possibility of cooling in summer

Underfloor heating can also cool off in summer (floor cooling) if connected to a reversible heat pump. Although its cooling capacity is more limited than that of an air conditioner, provides a gentle and constant freshness, highly valued in warm areas.

Note: requires condensation control and good regulation.

✅ 6. Durability and minimal maintenance

Once installed, underfloor heating has a very long lifespan (more than 50 years) and requires little maintenance. In addition, today's systems feature:

  • Pipes of cross-linked or multi-layer polyethylene high resistance.

  • Programmable electronic control systems.

  • Independent zones through collectors and actuators.

Where is it advisable to install underfloor heating?

  • Single-family homes and apartments with complete renovations.

  • Offices, hotels or commercial spaces.

  • Nearly Zero Energy Buildings (nZEB) or Passivhaus.
