Common Questions About Underfloor Heating

Discover answers to the most common inquiries about our advanced underfloor heating solutions.

Do Cosy Toes offer installation?

Yes! We offer professional electric underfloor heating installation services across Melbourne Metro and surrounding areas. If you’re located outside this zone, feel free to get in touch — we may still be able to assist or recommend a trusted installer in your area. Our experienced team ensures your system is installed safely, efficiently, and in line with manufacturer guidelines.

Which heating system is right for me?

We work closely with you to determine the best system for your needs, factoring in your floor type (like tile, timber, laminate, or concrete), how the room is used, and your budget. Warmset and Warmup both offer high-performance solutions with different benefits — Warmset is ultra-thin and fast-heating, while Warmup offers a reliable, cost-effective option. We’ll help you make the best choice for your project.

Is it safe for children and pets?

Absolutely. Both systems are designed with safety in mind. They are fully sealed, low-voltage systems with built-in safeguards to prevent overheating. Warmset in particular features zero EMF (electromagnetic field) emissions, offering added peace of mind for families. Once installed, the system is completely concealed and safe to walk, crawl, or play on.

How long does installation take?

Most installations are completed within 1 to 2 days, depending on the room size, floor type, and any prep work required. Simpler spaces like bathrooms and kitchens can often be done in a day, while larger or multi-room installs may take a little longer. We’ll always give you a time estimate upfront before we begin.

Can I DIY install your products?

Some underfloor heating kits are suitable for DIY installation — especially for confident renovators. However, we strongly recommend having your system installed by a licensed professional, especially when it comes to electrical connections. This ensures your system operates safely and maintains its full warranty coverage. We’re happy to assist with both supply-only and full-service options.

What kind of flooring can I use with underfloor heating?

Electric underfloor heating is compatible with a wide range of flooring types including tile, stone, laminate, hybrid, timber, and even carpet in some cases. The key is choosing the right heating system and ensuring the floor is installed to suit it. We’ll guide you through the best match based on your flooring choice.

Does underfloor heating work as a primary heat source?

Yes — in many cases, underfloor heating can be used as the main source of heat, especially in well-insulated spaces like bathrooms, bedrooms, and living areas. It provides even, ambient warmth without needing ducts or radiators. For larger or open-plan areas, we can help assess whether additional heating is recommended.

How energy-efficient is electric underfloor heating?

Very efficient! Because it heats from the ground up, underfloor heating is able to warm a room more evenly and effectively than traditional systems. Plus, with programmable thermostats and zoning options, you can control when and where heating is used — keeping running costs low.

Is underfloor heating expensive upfront?

The upfront cost of underfloor heating depends on factors like the size of the area, your floor type, and the system selected. While it may seem like a premium option, it can actually be quite cost-effective — especially for smaller areas like bathrooms or ensuites.

At Cosy Toes, we offer supply and installation packages for undertile applications starting from as little as $650.00 ex GST, which includes a standard non-programmable thermostat.

We also offer flexible options across two product ranges:

  • Warmset, for a premium ultra-thin finish with fast heating
  • Warmup, for a more budget-friendly and reliable solution

We’re happy to tailor a package to suit your needs and help you find the best balance between comfort, performance, and price. Feel free to reach out with your room details and we’ll provide a customised quote.
