Electric underfloor heating in Seville, Spain: heating mats for bathrooms, renovations and rooms

Electric underfloor heating in Seville, Spain: warmth without radiators

Electric underfloor heating is a very thin heating mat or cable laid under the floor that warms the room from below. There are no radiators on the wall and no boiler, and the heat spreads evenly. In Seville, where winter is short, we mostly install it in bathrooms and in specific rooms during a renovation, which is where cost, consumption and comfort balance best.

What it includes

• Room survey: usable area (without fixed furniture, bath or shower tray) and the power needed.
• Heating mat or cable adapted to the shape of the room, with its power per square metre.
• Floor sensor and thermostat, to control the floor temperature and programme timetables.
• Dedicated circuit from the fuse box with its breaker and RCD protection.
• Measurements of resistance and insulation before, during and after tiling.
• Coordination with the tiler so the mat is well protected when the floor is laid.

Where we install it

• Bathrooms in renovations. The most common job: in flat renovations in Los Remedios, Nervión or Heliópolis, clients take advantage of the new bathroom floor to add the mat. We coordinate it with the bathroom electrics.
• Bedrooms and living rooms in full renovations. When the whole floor is replaced, an entire room can be heated without radiators. If you are renovating an older flat completely, see rewiring old apartments.
• Villas and townhouses. In Tomares, Mairena del Aljarafe or Bormujos, for upstairs bathrooms or ground-floor rooms with cold floors.

If what you want is to heat several rooms without changing the floor, electric heating with panel heaters will suit you better.

How we work

1. We look at the room and the stage of the work, and measure the usable area.
2. We check the power available in your home and the circuit that will be needed.
3. We give you a fixed price for the square metres, the thermostat and the circuit.
4. We lay the mat and the sensor on the prepared base and measure the resistance.
5. We measure again once the floor is laid, connect the thermostat and leave it programmed.

The thermostat can be controlled from your phone or together with the rest of the heating and cooling if you choose a smart model.

Guide prices

These prices are estimates, because there is no consolidated public figure. They do not include the floor covering. We give you a fixed price after seeing the work. More references on the prices page.

Regulations

Electric underfloor heating is fed by a dedicated circuit sized under ITC-BT-25 of the Spanish Low Voltage Electrotechnical Regulation, protected by a 30 mA RCD, and heating cables and mats comply with the UNE-EN 60335-2-96 standard. If the power of the mat means reviewing your contract, we explain how to increase your contracted power. The rest of our solutions are under air conditioning and appliances.
