I have just bought a new flat from and I am having problems with my
underfloor heating. I believe from the builder that it is a cable
system. There are 2 zones in the flat one covering the kitchen and
living room and the other covers the bedroom and hallway. The heating
in the living room and kitchen is fine and I can get the rooms warm.
My problem is with the bedroom and hallway . The floor feels warm
however there the actual rooms are cold and never seem to get warm. I
have tried running the heating over night to no avail. I have tried
setting the temperature on the thermostat in these rooms to maximum
but it never gets warmer than 20 degrees celcuis in the rooms. Can
anyone help and give me some advice??


By cable I assume that you mean an electric system - we use a similar system
in our kitchen, and hidden in the settings is a maximum temperature which
the floor is allowed to get (I'm pretty sure I can set a temp higher on the
front end of the control, but it gets overridden by the max temp setting),
maybe they have set this too low? - Also these system unlike conventional
radiators are designed to be on all the time - we have ours set to 16 deg
during day and night, and increase it to 21 deg in mornings and eves.
