Can Any Give Me A Very Rough Guide To How Much Underfloor Heating Is?

[QuootiepieTheChristmasAss]

Because our heating is very tempermental, and costing £50 a week, so we think we would actually get our money back after a few years if we installed underfloor heating. It's only a small house, more like a flat. 3 bedrooms, living room + dining area, small bathroom, small kitchen, corridor & hall. Just have no idea at all... and am too curious to wait for quote

Thankyou!

No idea... ummm... cement id guess. Its not the pipe stuff im after, it's the cable type. I know there's one type you have to dig out your floors... Our house is 100% electric.

I thought about £2500 ish... when our elctric bill is £1500 a year + at the moment, with these AWFUL heaters, I think its about the best option we have.

We have underfloor heating downstairs and normal electric heaters upstairs, all run from oil fired boiler (which also heats our water). It cost an extra £2000 (I think) for the underfloor heating to be installed when the house was built 2 years ago, but we love it! It probably would be a hassle to have it retrofitted, but I think it would be worth it.

The advantages are: extra space on walls androoms look 'nicer' imo, cosy toes and it's very economical if you run it properly. Ours is on all the time so a constant temperature is maintained, but we pay around £1000 a year for oil, and that's for a 5 bedroom house.

we're looking into this at the mo and I think it depends on what you go for as you can have either water or electric. Electric is £250 for 10 sq mt + thermo + installation (if you're going to get somebody in to do it) you also HAVE to have a qualified/approved electrician to connect it even if you've installed it yourself.

Water more expensive to instal but cheaper to run

Bloody hell, didn't realise I'd been reading up so much on such a topic........

electric. And we'd have it all done, DH can barely wire a plug!

We're looking at this, too. You can get water ufh, running off your gch boiler, retro-fitted to concrete floors. It raises your floor-level by about 2cm, so you'd have to get your doors trimmed afterwards. It can only be laid downstairs, upstairs would have to be electric.

I dream of this. Project for next year or, at most, the year after. I loathe living on a concrete floor - I'm used to proper wooden floors - they suck all the warmth away.

16 sqm cost us about £900 inlc fitting - but it is expensive to run

We are putting in wood fired central heating - which should be much cheaper
