Electric Floor Heating Melbourne

Melbourne winters are cold enough that a tiled bathroom floor at 7am is a genuine deterrent to getting out of bed. It’s one of the small details that makes a bathroom renovation feel like a luxury or like a missed opportunity — and it’s one that’s much easier to include during a renovation than to add later.

Luno Electrical installs, maintains and repairs electric underfloor heating systems across Melbourne — during renovations and as retrofits, under tile, timber, carpet and in concrete slabs. We also carry out maintenance and fault diagnosis on older in-slab electric floor heating systems — a common feature in Melbourne homes from the 1960s through 1980s.

We advise on system sizing during the planning stage, co-ordinate the installation with your tiler or builder, and commission the system correctly before the renovation is complete.

How It Works

Tell us about your renovation — room size, floor finish and planned renovation timeline. We’ll advise on system sizing and thermostat options.
We co-ordinate with your tiler: they lay the heating mat; we connect the thermostat and supply circuit after the mat is in place but before final tiling.
We commission the system, programme the thermostat, and confirm the installation with a Certificate of Electrical Safety.

Electric floor heating installed without a dedicated circuit — or with a thermostat that isn’t correctly calibrated — can cause nuisance tripping, overheating of the mat, or in the worst case, mat failure beneath a tiled floor. Once the tiles are laid, accessing a failed mat requires full tile removal and relaying — a very expensive mistake.

Getting the thermostat and circuit right at installation time costs nothing extra and protects a significant investment in your renovation.

Step onto a warm bathroom floor on a Melbourne winter morning. The heated tiles are exactly the temperature you set the previous night. The system has been running on a schedule — warm when you wake up, off when you leave for work. It’s one of the most appreciated details in any bathroom renovation.

Commercial Floor Heating

Electric floor heating is increasingly popular in commercial spaces — hospitality venues, high-end retail and boutique offices where floor comfort matters. We install commercial-grade systems to the same standard as residential work, with full compliance documentation and co-ordination with builders and fit-out managers.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can electric floor heating be installed under any floor type?

Electric heating mats can be installed under ceramic and porcelain tile, engineered timber and most carpet types. In-slab systems use a different approach — resistance cable embedded in a concrete slab. We advise on the right system for your specific floor finish during the quoting process.

How much does electric floor heating cost to install in Melbourne?

A bathroom floor heating system (mat + thermostat + circuit) typically costs $600–$1,500 installed depending on room size and switchboard distance. The heating mat itself costs $100–$300 for a standard bathroom. We provide a fixed price after confirming room dimensions and switchboard location.

How much does electric floor heating cost to run?

A 150W/m² mat in a standard 4m² bathroom costs approximately $0.10–$0.15 per hour to run at current Melbourne electricity rates. On a timer running 2 hours per day, annual running cost is roughly $70–$110. A programmable thermostat ensures the system only runs when needed.

What our customers say

Andrew and the team installed a Tesla wall charger at my home. They did an outstanding job and went over and above to make sure everything was done professionally and worked properly. Before finding Luno I spoke to many electricians and they often hadn’t done an electric car home charger installation before and didn’t seem to know what was involved. Andrew and the team at Luno quickly put me at ease because it was clear they knew how to install electric car charging. Would highly recommend.

Andrew and Alex were very professional and friendly, they took measures to not leave mess and tidied up after themselves. They were thorough in asking if we wanted switches changed etc to look the best. We love our new fans and bathroom heating light. Thank you
