Can anyone advise on best way to use undertile heating in a small area, should it be left on constantly or as required? - it takes a long time to heat up significantly. Any ideas on how economical it is to use? Any advice welcome.
 
Hi Tarad. We just had undertile heating fitted in 3 small bathrooms. We have it set on the constant setting, but the temperature probe (assuming that you have the same system - ours is devi) trips the system on and off. We have found this very effective and have noticed no difference in our electricity bill. The tiles are warm or warmish all the time. We have heated towel rails in the two bathrooms upstairs - which obviously work when the heating is on. But til now we had no heating in our downstairs loo and it was always baltic. I have to say that the undertile heating makes a huge difference there.

Don't be afraid to leave it on - the thermostat will trip on and off and the floor will stay warm most of the time. Enjoy!!
 
We have it in our bathrooms too, we just have it set for an hour in the morning and evening, it takes an hour to heat the floor fully so it's toasty for showers in the morning and evening. It stays warm for a good while after it goes off and is not noticeable on the bill at all. Our electrician (bro-in-law) advised us that they were heavy enough on esb to leave on all the time.

Heated towel rails are the absolute bomb though imo, so def go for those -we got ours in a b & q sale and they were about 80 each for med-large ones. Snug warm towels and they stay warm much longer than the rads.
