Do you prefer gas heating or underfloor heaing?

Gas

underfloorheating

I've got gas central heating with radiators, and I'm very happy with the system.

I've also plenty of hot water for showers etc.

I've never had underfloor heating, and I don't know anyone that has this system, so I can't make a comment and compare the two systems.

I've had electric heating, but that wasn't very good except for hot water for baths, and showers.

My parents had smokeless fuel, but that was a lot of hassle, and I wouldn't recommend this system.

trust me all the EU anti emmissions stuff is total garbage. I want this EU shite gone.

Ok I'll take your word for it 😄
Thank you for the MHO.

Underfloor heating can damage your tile flooring due to rapid temperature changes. I know because my grand parents house was damaged due to underfloor heating, which cracked the entire foundation a few minutes after they first turned it on. It's a terrible design from an engineering perspective.

Your question makes no sense. You are mixing an either/or question with an energy source as one option and a method of delivery of the energy as the other option.

Fuel Sources

• Natural gas
• Heating oil
• Propane
• Coal
• Wood
• Wood pellets
• Electric heat pumps
• Electric resistance coils
• Geothermal

Methods Of Delivery

• Forced hot air (air ducts and fans)
• Forced hot water (low pressure pipes with heat exchange fins)
• Steam (high pressure pipes feeding massive cast iron radiators)
• Radiant underfloor tubing (a form of forced hot water using low pressure tubing)

Underfloor heating. However it's made with warm water pipes in my house, temperature controlled by actors connected to PIR and Temperature sensors. The heat source is natural gas heater. This installation with condense boiler and exhaust recuperation wasn't cheap but now I pay ridiculously low heating bills

I have oil heat. I do not like gas heat. It is like having a bomb in your house.

Or furnace, hot water heater, stove and clothes drier use propane. It works well.
I have never had underfloor heating.

Gas is a heating measure for the central boiler, underfloor is a heating elements placement. My parents have both gas and underfloor heating.

[DrPepper12]

Both.

Carpeted rooms baseboard heat.

Tile / hardwood: Radiant heat from floor

ANYTHING BUT FORCED HOT AIR!!!

Infloor is definitely more even and comfortable.

All I know is we have gas forced air!
