Pretty well insulated and draught proof. It was built circa 2000, so done to whatever building regs prevailed then. It is the ground and first floor of a four storey building, with a concrete ceiling so not much heat loss through the roof. Circa 50% of walls are external facing. I think there is PIR or equivalent in the walls. Obviously double glazed.
We used to live in a 2 bed in the same place, and we never updated the convection wall heaters. They were useless, but our electricity bills weren't too awful. I just want to get something as efficient as possible in the new place.
I guess wet underfloor is an option, but would mean raising the ground floor a couple of inches I think? The ceilings are very high so could be viable. The other option some neighbours have is ceiling mounted heaters, but I don't know much about them.

There are contractors who specialise in retrofitting wet UFH. They use a machine kind of like a walk behind cut-and-break saw to cut tracks in the floor which the pipes are then laid into. You could DIY it either if you're handy and have the time but it is a rather messy job.

How well insulated and draught-proof is it? Electric-only is the future but it only works if your place is thermally efficient.
