Lyn and Patrick Doherty built their new home with a view to creating a nice warm environment, whatever the weather. The Doherty’s visited the Homebuilding and Renovating Show at the NEC in Birmingham to discover more about alternative central heating systems.

“Given the vagaries of the British weather, we wanted to ensure that whatever heating system we decided to fit it could guarantee warmth and allow us to enjoy our home in comfort all year round.”

“We spoke to a number of underfloor heating companies at the Homebuilding and Renovating Show, but liked the idea of the Nu-Heat’s 10mm tubing. We spoke to a representative and were immediately impressed with his knowledge and the company’s experience in the industry.With over ten years designing and supplying warm water underfloor heating systems, we felt we were in safe hands. All of our questions were answered and we left determined that Nu-Heat underfloor heating would feature in our property.

“We spoke to our plumber about underfloor heating, but he was adamant that larger tubing be used. He was so against using Nu-Heat’s 10mm system that I had to travel back to Ireland and convince him otherwise. I was convinced that the 10mm system design was the best on the market. We subsequently had reports that he found the system very easy to install and I am pleased to say that he finally admitted Nu-Heat’s products are the best. He even commented that there’s a much more even heat.”

“We are really pleased with our underfloor heating and we do have the comfortable home we wanted. Visitors come into our home and instantly look round to see how we keep it so warm. We have really benefited from having a heating system that cannot be seen and have been able to place our furniture where we want, instead of trying to fit it around radiators.”

“Our excellent relationship with Nu-Heat has meant that I am now a really big fan of underfloor heating.”
