Follow the instructions

Do your research
The instructions you’ll receive are detailed and easy to follow, but it’s always best to do your research beforehand and ensure you’re 100% sure of what’s involved. Watch our Comfort Heat videos on YouTube, always make sure you’re watching videos that outline the installation of the same underfloor heating system. If you can’t find a video of the model you’re planning to install, watch instructional videos but still follow the instructions step by step.
Ask for help (If you need it)
Even those with extensive DIY experience find themselves lost at times, so if you’re unsure of something in the instructions or something doesn’t make sense, ask our friendly team at Comfort Heat. As it is better to be safe than sorry.
