Planning heating when you build or renovate

Built-in electric heating is easiest to plan before floors and ceilings are finished. This article covers which systems suit new builds and renovations, and when to talk to Ron.

New builds and extensions

  • Concrete slab. In-slab heating cable is fixed to the mesh before the pour, so it needs to be planned with the builder and concreter.
  • Ceilings. Ceiling carbon film goes in before the plasterboard, with insulation above.
  • Floor finishes. Film or cable can be planned into the floor build-up for timber, laminate, suitable carpet or tiles.

Renovations

Electrical planning

Built-in heating needs electrical planning. The quote sets out the electrical requirements, and a licensed electrician connects the system. Controls are specified to suit your rooms and project.

When to talk to Ron

As early as possible, ideally while plans are being drawn. Have these ready if you can:

  • plans or a room schedule
  • the floor and ceiling finishes for each room
  • the construction timetable, including any pour date
  • your suburb or postcode

Talk to Ron

Talk to Ron about your project.

Call or email with the rooms, the finishes and your timing, or send the short enquiry form on the contact page.
