Reasons you should become a supplier of Underfloor Heating?
4 reasons why you should become a supplier of underfloor heating
There is a rising trend for underfloor heating in the UK at present, and the market is becoming ever more lucrative for those who can provide it. Because of this, it is a great time for businesses to expand into the underfloor heating industry.
Here are just a few of the reasons why your business should consider becoming a supplier of underfloor heating.
1. Underfloor heating is growing in popularity
The demand for underfloor heating is consistently growing in the UK. Industry research shows that underfloor heating accounted for 7.7 per cent of the UK heating market in 2019, making it one of the fastest-growing sectors in the industry.
The UK underfloor heating market is currently valued at around £171 million, and it is predicted to grow between 4 and 6 per cent over the next four years. This makes it a potentially highly lucrative product offering.
2. Underfloor heating is better for the environment
We are all looking for ways to reduce our carbon footprints and care for the environment. One of the reasons why underfloor heating is becoming so popular is because it is more energy-efficient than other types of home heating.
Water-based underfloor heating systems are estimated to be up to 40 per cent more efficient than a traditional radiator when operated via a heat pump, and 25 per cent more efficient than a radiator when used with a condensing boiler.
These high levels of energy efficiency are encouraging more UK homeowners to invest in underfloor heating as a way of taking better care of the planet.
3. Underfloor heating is easier to install
In the past, underfloor heating systems were often only installed in new build homes. They tended to be too unwieldy to install in older or smaller properties. However, things have moved on considerably. These days, underfloor heating systems are much easier to install than they used to be. This makes them suitable for all kinds of homes.
With a small amount of training, an experienced electrician, carpet fitter or tiler could easily learn to install underfloor heating. However, as it should always be installed by a professional, there is little chance that homeowners will be installing it themselves any time soon. This means there is potentially a huge market to tap into.
4. Underfloor heating expands your offering
If you become a supplier of underfloor heating, you will be offering a popular product that makes a great addition to your existing services. This means more new customers are likely to discover you, and they will probably want to contact you for other jobs within their homes. However, as the demand for underfloor heating is growing so quickly, you may find that it becomes your main offering rather than a sideline!
