Would be electric dry....

In which rooms (including upstairs/downstairs), what is the floor construction in those rooms, and what is your main heating source for the house?

One of my neighbours has dry UFH in his bathroom. He's a spender, but he too doesn't use it very often because of the cost of running it.

the crunch won't come for me until October when I need to think about using it regularly again.

February is a bit early to have the heating off, unless you live in Spain!  Mine's running right now as I can't work if I'm shivering.

Biggest problem I can see with wet UFH is if the slab isn't insulated as you'll be heating up the ground.  I installed the retrofit stuf using a one room kit f when I refurbished my kitchen, so on top of the uninsulated slab, and was no discernable difference in my gas consumption.  But that's only about 15% of the floor space, so there will be bigger variations caused by a mild or harsh winter.  It's so nice though, standing in there on the slate floor in my socks while making tea.  I'd love to do the rest of the house but that would be so much upheaval
