WHAT ARE THE
COSTS?
At Jupiter we understand that cost is a factor in almost everyone's minds and this is something humans question as second nature. The typical costs of supply and installation of a new underfloor heating system can range from £200 to £280 per square metre. This cost depends on the type of system and the floor construction build up.

mix slowing the project to a total freeze; however, we have expereienced this situation many times over the years. Generally speaking we have the ​answer to this problem and will work with you to make sure the project gets back on track to avoid delay.
​
One of our most asked questions about underfloor heating is how much does the systems cost to run?
As an example of running costs a church in which we completed and installation in 2013 monitored the gas costs over two seasons and the data is held in the image on this page. The total underfloor heated area was 315 metres squared, if you'd like to find out more about the project please view the Church of The Most Precious Blood project.

Summary from a previous client
The underfloor heating is able to produce comfortable temperatures for the congregation at very reasonable operating cost.
Using weather compensation directly on the boiler as the only controller has worked well, although it did require a few months of monitoring and adjustment to get the curve right which many churches may not be interested in doing.
There are still some draught issues because we have not heated either the gallery or the sanctuary area.
The boiler has a maximum output of 70kW but is usually running at 35% output except during warm-up period which is when the boiler ramps up to 100% and gets the system up to temperature in a hour or so.
