Any experience of electric underfloor heating?

[Blankiefan]

We're considering putting underfloor heating into our family room but as the floors are already down, it'd be electric. Does anyone have any experience of how well it works? Any tips for what to do/consider - or any watchouts?

Also, we have a large and very expensive wool rug in the room that I'd like to keep - it'd probably cover around a third of the floor space -would this have an impact on the efficacy of the heating?

energy from electricity costs three times as much as energy from gas. You are lucky to have the money to spend.

Do you think it'd be cheaper to dig out the floor (concrete) and retrofit a water-based system - lomg term, obviously....

digging out the floor will cost a lot, but you could ask for a price.

Radiators will be more economical.

The websites (Us as well as UK) of Warmup are very informative - study them well they have done a lot of research and make good recommendations about best installation.
Other EUFH systems are similar.

I would not dismiss electric UFH so quickly but i would say spend money on best insulation for your home first in order to reduce heating bill.

Do get quotes for installing both types of UFH so you can compare. At UFH from your gas boiler will be cheaper to run, assuming that you already have a gas boiler.
