I used underfloor heating in my extension and it has helped us have a lot more space as we didn't have to have any radiators etc. Its only been completed a few weeks but so far so good.
I will shortly be starting to build a 1 bedroom bungalow for myself and my wife. We are keen to use UFH and have so far looked at a multitude of websites for the relevant products. Can anyone help who has first hand information or has used any particularly good (or bad!) products. Any tips or wrinkles would be welcome also. Thanks
I suggest you take advantage of the free design service offer from Wolseley on underfloor heating. You can email plans via contact link at top of page or arrange for an account manager to call you.
We want to install electric underfloor heating to our newly built south facing conservatory. We have been quoted £800 to install a 'warm up' electric system. The reason we are considering this route is having looked into the installation costs of the gas option at cost of £3k plus it seems the cheaper way to go, but we are concerned about the running costs for a 35 sq mtr area, we are considering using three different thermostates for the 3 different open plan areas, (conservatory, dinning room and kitchen) and also gas radiators as a top up source of heating, we like the idea of having warm feet on a tiled floor. Our current energy supplier is Scottish Power for both gas and electricity, we currently pay approx £940 per year.

Have you used underfloor heating in your self build project? What do you think?
