Inspire Home Automation Smart Thermostats can control many underfloor heating systems, although compatibility varies depending on the installation.


Wet underfloor heating

  • If your wet underfloor heating is controlled by standard room thermostats, then yes, our system can control it.

  • If your wet underfloor heating uses a proprietary control system, compatibility will depend on the manufacturer and model.

If you're unsure, please email us with the make and model of your existing control system, and we'll be happy to advise.


Electric underfloor heating

Electric underfloor heating can usually be controlled by an Inspire Smart Thermostat, provided the electrical load is switched via a suitable contactor.

Please note: Inspire thermostats measure air temperature only and do not support a floor temperature probe.


Wood and vinyl flooring

If your underfloor heating is installed beneath wood or vinyl flooring, always check the flooring manufacturer's maximum temperature specification. Overheating the floor may cause permanent damage.


If you're unsure whether your underfloor heating system is compatible, please contact Inspire Home Automation Support with details of your existing system and we'll be happy to help.
