Child-friendly heat: Electric underfloor heating in family homes

A smart choice for family homes is electric floor heating, particularly because of the unique benefits it offers for families. Here we dive deeper into how electric floor heating creates a child-friendly and comfortable environment throughout the home.

Safety above all

With electric floor heating, you don't need hot radiators and thus already fewer objects in the house with sharp edges and where they can hurt their sensitive little hands. This significantly reduces the chance of accidents for curious children. Also, with electric underfloor heating, you don't have any knobs that children can turn and thus, as a parent, you remain in full control of your heating system.

Easy to keep clean and no dust accumulation

Another advantage of a heating system where you don't need radiators is that you don't have to clean as much. This is because you don't have edges and slots where dust accumulates. In any case, with electric floor heating you have much less dust in your home, because electric floor heating does not heat the air, but only the people and objects in the room. That means no air circulation and therefore no dust movement.

Healthy indoor climate

The lack of air circulation has another advantage, which is that there are both no dust particles or allergens flying around the house that can aggravate allergies or respiratory problems. Also, electric floor heating helps reduce moisture and mold in the home and maintain optimal humidity in the home because electric floor heating does not dry out the air.

Constant, pleasant temperature

Anyone who has small children knows that getting them to keep their socks on is a challenge. Most children prefer to run around barefoot all day and like to play on the floor. And there's nothing like a warm floor. Electric floor heating provides even, consistent warmth, so the floor always feels comfortable, especially on bare feet.

Flexibility in design

Electric floor heating can be installed under a variety of flooring materials, from tile to vinyl. This offers families the freedom to create spaces that are both practical and stylish

Family rituals in warmth

Many families opt for electric floor heating in the bathroom because that's a space you want warm quickly, but it doesn't need to be heated throughout the day. And you can do that with electric floor heating because of the ability to combine it with smart thermostats, such as Speedheat's wi-fi clock thermostat. This offers the ability to turn on and remotely control the heating at specific times and minimizes unnecessary energy consumption. All this contributes to a pleasant atmosphere in the bathroom, making it an ideal space for family rituals such as brushing teeth together or cozy bath time.

In short, electric floor heating in family homes combines safety, comfort and efficiency, making it an ideal choice for parents who want to create a child-friendly home. It is not only a practical heating solution, but also an investment in the well-being of the whole family.
