Underfloor Heating Installation
Heatwell has decades of underfloor heating installation experience in the greater Auckland region. We have been installing since 2000.
Heatwell has designed and developed its own exclusive range of underfloor heating cable and thermostats that suit the New Zealand style of building. We install our Pro Series of underfloor heating cable and our HT4 thermostat into all of our projects.
We install into:
Residential
Commercial
Apartment Buildings
Retirement Villages

The Heatwell System
Heatwells' installation process has been perfected over years of experience.
With the Heatwell system, we install the cable on the floor, cover it with a fibreglass mesh, and apply a thin layer of self-levelling compound (screed). The fibreglass mesh makes sure the heating cable does not float to the top of the screed. The system ensures the cable is firmly locked in place, provides an additional level of protection, and adds only 4-5mm of depth to the floor.
The floor must be level BEFORE we install underfloor heating. If levelling is not done before underfloor heating install, you will get an uneven distribution of heat. The floor temperature will be cooler where the cable is deep and hotter where the cable is shallow. Other companies flood a floor with levelling compound - a practice that will get inconsistent heat.
Heatwell does not use a mat style of underfloor heating. Our system allows for more flexibility around shapes like toilet bowls.
Our system is suitable for installation under tiles, engineered wood, carpet, and vinyl.
Watch Heatwells' installation process in action.
Heatwell has developed a "Best Practice System" for installation of underfloor heating cable. We use the best practice system for all of our own installations.
The best practice system is our quality assurance. It puts an standardised testing regime in place and allows us to provide a 25-year warranty on all of our installations.

Heatwells' Warranty
With Heatwells' best practice system, we are able to provide a 25-year installation warranty (cable only) on all of our underfloor heating installations. The 25-year cable warranty applies to both Gold and Pro series cable if Heatwell has installed them. There are some limitations to our warranty.
Warranty on Heatwells' pro series and gold series cable is limited to the manufacturers warranty if you have installed the cable yourself. There are some limitations to the manufacturers warranty.
Please note that installation warranty and manufacturers warranty does not apply to thermostats. Warranty policy on thermostats is separate.
