    I just moved into a new apartment and it has electric underfloor heating. I've heard this can be expensive so I am looking for ways to use/optimise it? Our apartment has a day and night time meter. Any help would be appreciated!

    Is the whole place heated with electric underfloor heating or just the bathrooms?

    Underfloor heating usually has a slow response time and relies on low energy use but over long periods of time.

    Its the whole apartment has electric underfloor heating. I am unsure if you are suppose to use it in the same way you would water underfloor heating.

    Hard to find info on this.

    I think you are, I've been involved with it before and it's usually on for very long periods of time while it's cheaper to run at night , it doesn't really store a huge amount of heat in the floor to slowly release during the day, it's just expensive to run.,
