How to calculate the price of floor heating
As winter approaches, floor heating has attracted much attention as a comfortable and efficient heating method. One of the biggest concerns many consumers have before installing floor heating is price. So, how to calculate the price of floor heating? This article will give you a detailed analysis from multiple dimensions such as materials, installation, and operating costs, and attach structured data for reference.
1. Composition and price structure of floor heating system

The price of floor heating mainly consists of four parts: material fee, installation fee, auxiliary material fee and later operating cost. The following is a price comparison of common floor heating types:
| Floor heating type | Material cost (yuan/㎡) | Installation fee (yuan/㎡) | Auxiliary material fee (yuan/㎡) | Comprehensive cost (yuan/㎡) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| water floor heating | 80-150 | 50-100 | 20-40 | 150-290 |
| Electric floor heating | 120-200 | 30-80 | 15-30 | 165-310 |
| carbon fiber floor heating | 200-300 | 40-90 | 25-50 | 265-440 |
2. Key factors affecting floor heating prices
1.House area: Floor heating is usually priced by square meters. The larger the area, the higher the total cost.
2.Material brand: Imported brands (such as Vaillant, Bosch) are 20%-50% more expensive than domestic brands.
3.Room temperature control system: Installing an intelligent temperature control module will increase the cost by 10%-20%.
4.Ground material: Ceramic tiles have good thermal conductivity and lower costs; wooden floors require special treatment and are more expensive.
3. Comparison of floor heating operating costs
The following are the average daily operating costs of three types of floor heating (taking a 100㎡ house as an example):
| Floor heating type | average daily energy consumption | Energy unit price | Average daily cost (yuan) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Water floor heating (gas) | 10-15m³ natural gas | 2.5 yuan/m³ | 25-37.5 |
| Electric floor heating | 50-80 kWh | 0.6 yuan/degree | 30-48 |
| carbon fiber floor heating | 40-60 kWh | 0.6 yuan/degree | 24-36 |
4. How to reduce the cost of floor heating?
1.Choose insulation materials: Laying insulation layers such as extruded boards can reduce energy consumption by 20%-30%.
2.Set the temperature appropriately: Each 1°C lowering can save 5%-8% energy. It is recommended to maintain 18-20°C.
3.Take advantage of peak and valley electricity prices: Turning on electric floor heating at night can save 30%-40% of electricity bills.
4.Regular maintenance: Water floor heating pipe cleaning every 2 years can increase thermal efficiency by 10%.
5. Popular questions and answers
Q: How much does it cost to install floor heating in a 100㎡ house?
A: Taking water floor heating as an example, the mid-range configuration is about 20,000-30,000 yuan (including installation), and the high-end imported system may cost 40,000-50,000 yuan.
Q: How many years can floor heating be used?
A: The service life of water floor heating is about 50 years (pipeline), boiler is 8-15 years; electric floor heating is more than 30 years.
Summary: The price of floor heating needs to be considered comprehensively based on the initial installation fee and long-term use costs. It is recommended to choose the appropriate type based on the house structure, budget and energy conditions, and give priority to energy-saving configurations to reduce subsequent expenses.
