  • Anyone got underfloor heating?

    We are currently refurbing an old farmhouse and the next decision I have to make is where to go with underfloor heating or radiators on the ground. We also have a decent sized log burner in the lounge, so heat in there isn't really an issue.

    Underfloor heating costs a few k more, and from what I have been reading is better if you want an always on sort of heat, issue we have is that we both work pretty much full time and sometimes irregular hours, so thinking radiators might be better at giving instant heat?

    Anyone got real world experience?

  • We had it installed at a flat we were renting (by the owner) and experienced both with/without.

    In the bathroom it was incredible. Everywhere else it was just kind of weird and bills went up. Suppose it depends what your long term intentions are for the place - from memory the farmhouse was through family and this isn't just something to flip a la diable? If it's for keeps and you're 'put on a jumper if it's cold' (i.e. 'normal') people I would save the few grand and invest it elsewhere (including good quality smart home stuff).

    Cheers that was my thinking, I think it would be nice under the tiles in the kitchen, but not sure of the benefit in lounge and dining room.

    And well remembered it is an old family farmhouse, will have to post some more pics soon!
