how does underfloor heating in a 1970's flat work i am having tr

Don't fiddle with the thermostats.

Radiant in high mass applications is SLOW to react.

Keep the bedrooms turned down if you like a cool sleeping environment.

Keep the other rooms at a given point and don't make major adjustments.

underfloor heating in 1970's

I have recently moved into a 1970's flat with no gas and it has electric underfloor heating.There are thrermostats in each room however when i put it on in the day it does not seem to heat the room then at night it is hot when i am sleeping

If all your heat is electric, there is probably a timer somewhere that only allows your heat to work at certain times of the day. You have to find the timer or talk to someone locally who knows where it might be.

OhYeah, radiant. Marks probably right. set the thermostat where you want it and leave it there. I takes a long time to warm the concrete floor. If you turn up the thermostat in the morning, it takes all day to get the floor warm.
