Default Under Floor Heating

Hi,

Does anyone have any experience with under floor heating?

What type? Pipe heated or electric?
How does it compare to conventional central heating systems? What the Pros and Cons, etc?

All help gratefully received

Aren't you the same one that asked about the "Micro-Bore" system?

I do a lot of radiant heat.

What type? Pipe heated or electric?


I can do either, but I like the water stuff better.

Pros and Cons, etc?


It's more costly than forced air to install and get it right. You really
need a trained person to do it or help you do it. It turns the selected
surfaces into radiantors that can heat the entire house if you want. The
energy needed to heat the house is less than forced air.

Hi,
Under floor? Do you mean in floor?
