Fitting UFH into Existing Systems Although most people would install underfloor heating as part of a new heating system – including a new boiler – you can run a new underfloor heating system off an old boiler, even combining it with existing radiators. Keeping this in consideration, how do I find my underfloor heating pipes? Tracing Underfloor Heating Pipes To correctly trace underfloor heating, the user should turn on the system and hold the thermal camera steadily pointing at the floor once it has fully warmed up. Temperature directly above pipes tends to be at roughly 26˚C compared to an average floor temperature of 18˚C.How reliable is underfloor heating?Underfloor heating is normally efficient because it effectively turns the whole floor into a radiator. The large surface area means it doesn’t have to be a high temperature to warm the room – only a couple of degrees warmer than normal room temperature. It uses 15-40% less energy than traditional radiators.
