For several years, underfloor heating has established itself as one of the most pleasant and effective floor heating solutions. Suitable for both renovation projects and new constructions, it provides a gentle, consistent, and even heat throughout the room. This thermal comfort is often accompanied by better control of energy consumption.
However, despite its long-term advantages, the installation of underfloor heating represents a significant investment. Avenir Rénovations explains, in this guide, the prices to expect in Luxembourg for the installation of this system.
There are mainly two main families of underfloor heating on the market: electric models and hydraulic models. Each solution has its specificities, advantages, technical constraints, and also significant price differences.
Our renovation guide provides you with all the useful information to make the right choice. To know the exact budget to expect in Luxembourg, do not hesitate to request a personalized quote for the installation of electric or water-based underfloor heating.
Electric underfloor heating operates through a network of heating cables installed under the floor covering. These elements distribute heat across the entire surface of the room. This type of solution is often preferred in renovations, especially for small spaces like a bathroom, a toilet, or a small bedroom, as it requires fewer structural modifications.
Depending on the models, electric heating can be radiant or inertia-based. The radiant system heats quickly through resistors, while the inertia model relies on thermal inertia to retain heat longer. In Luxembourg, you generally need to budget between 80 € and 350 €/m², including supply and installation.
Hydraulic underfloor heating relies on a network of tubes integrated under the slab. These pipes are supplied with hot water, usually produced by a boiler or a heat pump. This system is particularly recommended in new constructions, but it can also be installed as part of a complete renovation when the work is extensive.
More economical to use, water-based underfloor heating is more complex to install than the electric model. In Luxembourg, its price typically ranges from 50 € to 150 €/m², excluding the cost of the boiler or heat pump. A tailored quote allows for a realistic estimate based on the configuration of the home.
The cost of a heated floor does not depend solely on the type of system chosen. Other parameters can have a significant impact on the final budget of your installation.
The area to be equipped directly influences the overall price. The larger the room, the more materials (pipes, cables, insulation...) will be needed, and the longer the installation time will be. This mechanically translates to an increase in the total cost.
The state of the insulation is equally crucial. In a poorly insulated home, a more powerful system is necessary to achieve a comfortable temperature, which increases the budget and consumption. Conversely, good insulation helps retain heat and optimize the performance of the underfloor heating.
The type of flooring in place can also affect the price. Some coverings are not compatible with underfloor heating or poorly distribute heat. It may therefore be necessary to remove the existing covering and replace it with a more suitable material such as tiles, concrete, certain compatible floorboards, or a technical floor.
These additional works (removal, preparation, leveling, provision of the new covering) can generate extra costs that should be anticipated in the overall budget.
A renovation project often involves specific constraints: uneven floors, old buildings, limited ceiling height, presence of existing networks... All these elements can complicate the installation of the underfloor heating and require more thorough preparation.
In some cases, leveling work, support preparation, or adaptation of installations may be essential. For a standard installation without major difficulties, labor may be charged on average between €40 and €60/hour, depending on the companies and the complexity of the project.
To make your underfloor heating even easier to control, it is possible to add various options: smart thermostat, connected programmer, room-by-room regulation, remote control via app… These features often help optimize energy consumption while improving daily comfort.
However, these options represent an additional cost. Their integration can significantly increase the final price of your installation, especially in a large property.
The installation of underfloor heating requires perfect technical mastery and adherence to specific rules to ensure the safety, durability, and efficiency of the system. It is therefore essential to entrust this work to a specialized company.
