I need a reliable company, if you know of one could you give me the contact? Re: hydronic underfloor heating 5May 26, 2024 7:20 am Hey there! I looked into this when I was considering underfloor heating for my place in Victoria. From what I gathered, owner-builders can indeed lay out the hydronic PEX tubing in the timber subfloor. However, the final connection to the boiler must be done by a licensed plumber. It saves a lot of labor costs if you do the tubing yourself, but make sure it's done right to avoid any issues. Last year, I had some electrical problems with my underfloor heating installation, and I needed professional help. The electricians were crucial in ensuring everything was connected safely and correctly. A friend recommended a great company with electricians available 24/7, which was a lifesaver. They sorted out the issues quickly. You can find out more information here about underfloor heating installation .
