Have you experienced this anywhere to be sure you like it?

What, under-floor heating, other than potential running coasts I can't see a
disadvantage. Assuming the installation / design is done well.

The actual heating, not running costs.

I can't stand for long on a heated floor and I know I'm not alone. It seems
to 'draw' some people's feet, making them very tired.

Also, a son had it in his council flat years ago and the flat wasn't really
warm unless you were close to the floor.

I think it's important to know whether or not you'll like it before
investing in something expensive.

About 65 years.

Come round here Mary,and see what it CAN be like. Except on the very
coldest days the floor is not warm, just not cold.

And with proper insulation, its the same temperature throughout the
room. You don't even notice the room is heated.

Till you go outside.

Electric underfloor heating can be very nice in a conservatory, particularly
with a tiled or stone floor. However, it should not be the only form of
heating for several reasons.

1. It is extremely expensive to run.
2. A conservatory is so energy inefficient that the floor temperature
required would be too large.
3. It is very slow to heat up the room from cold, meaning it has to be left
on for long periods when it isn't being used.

Instead, assuming you have wet gas/oil central heating, add an additional
zone with a fan convector. This will be much cheaper to run and will heat
the room up rapidly, which is particularly useful as you can leave the room
cold except when using it. Put it on its own zone with a programmable
thermostat, so it is only warm when you need it, with independent boost and
timing controls.

If you like a warm floor, have the underfloor heating as an additional
appliance, preferably using the lowest energy density you can find, or even
using wet underfloor rather than electric.
