Thanks so much for this! I’d like to throw in another detail that doesn’t get enough attention: putting carpets over underfloor heating reduces how much warmth you feel. Carpets block heat almost the same way insulation does, so instead of warming the room, the heat stays stuck under the rug. That’s why many people think the system isn’t working and dial the thermostat up. Best case, avoid rugs — or use a thin, low-pile one if you really want one.
