The Advantages of In Floor Heating in Concrete Slabs
In-slab heating is a popular heating solution for warming coloured or polished concrete in new builds or renovations. Unlike similar electric underfloor heater mats and in-screed underfloor heating, this heating system provides gentle and efficient background warmth day and night.
Other notable advantages of having this green heating solution installed in your home include:
- Evenly distributed whole-home heating: In-slab heating generates a thermal environment with evenly distributed heating, eliminating cold zones.
- Healthier and cleaner indoor air: This heating solution does not attract bacteria, mould, and other allergens typically found in forced-air heating systems.
- Perfect heating solution for large spaces: This electric floor heating has a slow warming time, typically 10 β 24 hours. It is the most affordable 24-hour heating solution for heating large areas because it uses off-peak power, saving monthly energy costs.
- Best heating solution for new builds: In-slab heating is an excellent heating system for a new building because of its hassle-free installation. Though installing this heating system on an existing floor is possible, in-slab heating is best installed during the construction of the concrete slab. This installation process helps it function best.
- Noiseless, space-saving operation: In-slab heating also offers quiet operation. And, since the entire system is embedded in the slab, it wonβt take up any space in your home.

Custom In Slab Heating Installation Sydney Services
Effective in-slab heating installations guarantee even, all-around radiant heating and individual programmable control.
Calibre Connect offers dry in-slab heating installation services, meaning your builders must prepare the concrete slab for installation before our teamβs arrival. The building construction team will also need to install the polystyrene insulation and reinforcing mesh and carefully mark the heating areas and the electrical controlsβ exact position.
After these preparatory works, our experienced team of electricians will:
- Install the thermostat and junction box along with any required relay panels.
- Test the heating elementβs ohm value and insulation resistance to ensure they are within acceptable operating standards.
- Attach the heating cable and temperature sensor to the wire mesh per your custom installation plans.
- Test the heating cable and temperature sensor before and during the concrete slab pour, entering the performance results at the end of the pour for warranty purposes.
- Once the concrete is cured, our electricians will complete the thermostatβs wiring and other electrical control components.
- The team will also check the heating elementβs amp draw one final time to ensure it is working correctly before approving the system for operation.
In-slab underfloor heating is a green and cost-effective heating solution, ideal for large residential homes, new constructions, and commercial spaces. It is the perfect heating solution if youβre looking for affordable high-performance heating all year round.
