'Fußbodenheizung' (underfloor heating) is made up of 'Fußboden' (floor) and 'Heizung' (heating). It therefore refers to a heating system located or installed beneath the floor.
Beim Neubau wurde eine Fußbodenheizung im ganzen Erdgeschoss eingebaut.
Underfloor heating was installed throughout the ground floor during construction of the new building.
Common collocations are 'eine Fußbodenheizung verlegen' (to lay underfloor heating), 'eine Fußbodenheizung einbauen' (to install underfloor heating), and 'die Fußbodenheizung regeln' (to adjust the underfloor heating). These expressions are used especially in construction, renovation, and building services.
Die Handwerker verlegen die Fußbodenheizung, bevor der Estrich aufgebracht wird.
The workers lay the underfloor heating before the screed is poured.
Underfloor heating often responds more slowly than other heating systems: the floor does not warm up immediately after it is switched on, and it usually retains heat for a while after it is switched off.
Wir schalten die Fußbodenheizung schon am Morgen ein, weil der Boden langsam warm wird.
We turn on the underfloor heating early in the morning because the floor takes a while to warm up.
