The Best Plug-in Solutions to Turn Your Cold Floor Into a Warm Floor

ByWilliam H

There’s no need to suffer with cold feet and ankles simply because you don’t have underfloor heating. There a two easy plug-in solutions that can be placed anywhere you need them.

Let’s take a look how you might choose the best option for you.

Plug-in Floor Heating Solutions: What Are Your Options?

Most people have experienced plug-in portable heaters that blow or convect warm air. But they don’t warm the floor and have other drawbacks like cluttering the room and spreading dust. Many of them are expensive to run, too.

What would be ideal is something that can be left in place all year round without cluttering the room, yet will economically warm the floor around you with a flick of a switch whenever you want.

Let’s take a look at the options available.

Under-rug Heating – RugBuddyTM

Under-rug heating is a true innovation, giving the comforting feeling of underfloor heating from an area rug. RugBuddy has been featured over a wide range of media including BBC Radio 2, ITV, and Moneywise.

Areas where there is already a rug, or where it will be convenient to have one.

Main benefits

  • Range of 9 sizes to suit all rugs
  • Economical: 2p – 15p per hour at 25p per kWHr tariff
