Gaia Underfloor Heating have come out in support of BEAMA’s ongoing ‘Accelerating Electrification’ campaign, backing underfloor heating as the future of the UK’s heating industry.

BEAMA is the trade body for UK manufacturers and providers of energy infrastructure and systems. Its latest ‘Accelerating Electrification’ campaign aims to encourage investment within the UK electrical supply chain to help deliver the government’s low carbon growth strategy and decarbonise the nation’s energy, heat and transport infrastructure.

Steven Rooney, Director of Gaia Underfloor Heating, says: “Electrification is essential for decarbonising heating – and underfloor heating will be key. As BEAMA says, the supply chain is ready to satisfy increased demand for low carbon heating and we’ve already seen a boost in popularity. But, with greater awareness of electrification, alongside investment and government guidance, we could see an even greater uptake of underfloor heating to decarbonise the sector faster.”

Gaia say electric heating mats and cables are powered entirely by electricity, meeting both BEAMA and the government’s ideal picture for the future of heating. Wet underfloor heating can be paired with low-carbon heat pumps as an alternative to gas boilers – making wet systems ideal for electrification too.

“Underfloor heating will play a big part in helping meet the government’s Net Zero targets too. We hope that BEAMA’s campaign will prompt a clearer roadmap to electrification and we look forward to Gaia playing a key role in helping decarbonise the nation’s heating sector!” concludes Steven.

Gaia have over 35 years’ experience designing, supplying and installing underfloor heating. Trusted by architects, contractors, M&E consultants, builders and developers, they have worked for large-scale residential and commercial developments across the UK and Ireland.
