Laying the Groundwork: Underfloor Heating Conduit Install in Coburg

It’s easy to take a warm, comfortable home for granted – but what you don’t see behind the scenes is where the real work begins.

At Ferguson Electrical, we’ve just begun work on a new build in Coburg, starting with an essential step: installing conduits for underfloor heating before the concrete slab is poured.

This early phase is a critical part of the electrical rough-in and sets the foundation for a safe, efficient heating system down the line.

✅ Here’s what we did on-site:

• Marked the location for in-slab thermostats
• Ran conduit from rough-in switch positions into the slab
• Installed sweep bends to guide future cabling
• Laid stringline through the conduit for easy wire pulls later
• Ensured spacing and structure was slab-ready

⚡ Why it matters:

Getting this step right means less disruption later in the build, smoother heating installation, and long-term reliability for the homeowners. It also avoids costly slab rework and ensures everything is exactly where it needs to be — before the concrete is poured.

We’ll be sharing progress updates as this build continues, giving you a real look at what goes into a full home electrical install — from the first trench to final light fitting.
