Incorrectly designed again!

No designs delivered, then incorrect designs, 2nd job in row that has been incorrectly designed!! The product is fine but the design process is useless. Won’t be using them anymore.

Wow Wow Wow This Mat Means Business

A customer called me to install a supply and connect this Snug electrical Mat underfloor heating system.
(I will add. . I had no part in the installation of the matting itself, which was run across kitchen/Dining living area approx 50m2)
I soon noticed there was no radiators present. - ‘I would NEVER recommend this type of heating as a primary heat source as throughout my over 10 years experience as an electrician they have always been insufficient, inadequate and lead to disappointment when trying to heat a room up.’
WELL NOT THIS PRODUCT!!!
_Click, Switched on & Connected_
I put my hands on the tiles and I could feel the floor start to warm instantly… I thought ok. 👀 ‘It’s working’
By the time I packed up my tools & loaded the van I could feel the whole room warming up and the heat radiating through.
“I’ve never known electric under floor heating like it”

The ONLY reason this I gave this product 4 stars is because the wiring diagram / instructions were not that great. (Room for improvement) However Technical was perfect. So maybe it does deserve ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Dear Paul,

I am very sorry to hear about your recent experience, please be reassured that we take pride in the ensuring that our systems are as simple and straight forward to install as possible, especially our bestselling low-profile system.

Our team are always on hand and more than happy to support with installation advice, such as bringing the pipe inside prior to laying in order to help bring it up to room temperature which helps to increase flexibility and using a pipe de-coiler to speed up the install and support a single person installation. We also run regular installer training sessions, to help with additional advice and guidance.

We would love the opportunity to discuss your feedback further in order to resolve your concerns for the future. Please feel free to contact us by calling 01772 761333 and one of our technical support team members will be able to assist you. Alternatively, you can direct message us through one of our social media channels with your contact details and we will call you back immediately.

Warmest regards
The Snug Team

Very helpful and professional team

I accidently only ordered one plot when my customer required 3 plots for the 24th

They was able to sort the two plots that were missing for delivery on the 23rd which was ideal for my customer

Very impressed with how helpful they have been

Will be recommending Snug UFH as much as possible in the future

Thank you and keep up the good work!

Excellent Experience with Rob

Recently considered underfloor heating for an annex we are building. Spoke to Rob who was extremely helpful in explaining the different options available. He is very professional and very knowledgable. Great guy to deal with, and will definitely go with Snug if we go ahead with the build.

Snug underfloor heating system.

I have recently installed a Snug water underfloor heating system and received an excellent service.
The team were very informative, from helping to decide which system would be best for my project, to providing me with an easy to follow pipe layout and helping with advice when I was installing the system. The system was also cost effective compared to other underfloor heating companies and I would happily recommend to others.
