Electrician in Skellefteå
Warm floors in bathroom and hall start with the right connection. We connect electric underfloor heating and install a thermostat with a floor sensor — fixed price, ready to use when the floor is laid.
The sensor in the floor measures where the heat actually is, not up by the wall. This gives even comfort, protects the flooring from overheating and keeps consumption down. We connect the heating mat, fit the thermostat and run a test before we leave — with a resistance log of the heating element.
We connect electric underfloor heating. Hydronic underfloor heating with a manifold and circulation pump is plumbing work and is not included — but if you are installing electric heating in a bathroom or hall, we are who you call. Not sure what is in your floor? Send a photo in the booking and we will advise.
Electric underfloor heating in bathroom and hall is comfort heating: it is meant to take the edge off cold tiles, not heat the whole house. With a floor sensor, correctly set thermostat and ideally a time schedule — warm in the morning and evening, reduced when no one is home in the middle of the day — the running cost is a fraction of what a floor running at full power draws. We set the thermostat sensibly from the start.
Usually not. The thermostat and floor sensor fail far more often than the heating element in the floor. We measure the element's values, replace the thermostat or sensor when that is sufficient and give an honest assessment — tearing up a floor is the last resort, not the first suggestion.
A Skellefteå winter means boots dripping with snowmelt in the hall from November to April. A warm tiled floor dries itself, shoes dry faster and the floor stays fresh — one of the most common places we connect underfloor heating, for good reason.
The mat or cable is laid as part of the floor build, usually by the tiler or floor layer. We do the electrical side: measure the element before and after, fit the thermostat with floor sensor and connect — with a resistance log as a receipt.
Yes, there are Wi-Fi thermostats with app control and weekly programmes. Tell us in the booking if you want one instead of the standard thermostat.
Often, and more cheaply than you might think. A tired thermostat without a working sensor can let the floor run unnecessarily — replacing it with a modern thermostat with floor sensor and a time schedule usually shows up immediately in consumption.
