Welcome to the Electric Underfloor Heating Installation Advice by Electricians Forums. This is where you’ll find advice that is specific to installing electric underfloor heating. Both electrically, and physically laying down the electric underfloor heating cables. We also run Tilers Forums where we discuss not only underfloor heating installation advice, but also how to then cover it with a self levelling compound which you can then tile over.

- In Figure 1, the wiring diagram shows that the cables of the thermostat should be connected from the top, but in actual wiring (Figure 2), they are connected from the bottom. What I mean is that there are two rows of terminals (one at the top and one at the bottom), and the terminals at […]

- Hi all, I've noticed that my UFH pump is not always turning on as soon as the stat & valve calls for heat. This results in hot water passing through the underfloor pipes but without being pumped, which means it takes forever for the room to heat. From testing with a multimeter I see that […]
