Morning all,
I'm about to embark on some home renovation and the kitchen is the first target. We are looking at making it bigger, all in the room would be 32m2. I have read that electric underfloor heating systems are better and more efficient for smaller rooms, but that they can take a while to heat the room and are more expensive to run than wet underfloor heating systems. I'd prefer electric however, ideally throughout the house as I'd like to get away from gas entirely and move towards renewables.
So my question is, how practical is it to have electric underfloor heating in a room of this size? Could it be the sole heating source in the room (bare in mind just last week we had temperatures of -10C)? And would it be prohibitively expensive to run (I realise this is subjective but given it's one room in the house I'd hope it would be no more than a £5-£10 a month in running costs)?
Thanks,
