Underfloor Heating - the biggest con ever

A change in mobile signal is more likely.

Did you notice any change in wi-fi in the house when you used this?

Interesting thought! It was only 2.5m of outside wall, no noticeable effect on wi-fi in the house! Do wi-fi signals reflect?

Yes, I can see that a foil layer around the house could create a faraday cage, but our mobile signal here was poor enough already, so I'm not sure we could make it noticeably worse!

Coming back on topic (well nearly!), I am aware of places where electric underfloor heating on the first floor has blocked wi-fi signals coming up from a ground floor router.

It's not significantly heating up the ceiling and walls, as air flow then removes some of that radiated heat via convective from the surface (and then hopefully your thermostat turns off the heating when the required air temp is reached). You want the surfaces to be warm though, as that is a key part of comfort - if the surfaces are too cold then your own body will be radiating heat to them, and you feel cold.  

So your body stops radiating heat if the surfaces of the WALLS in your room are warmer than your body? Seriously? Only if you're standing pressed up against the wall, I imagine!

Lol! At least nobody has suggested that the walls are radiating the cold! 

Everyone knows cold surfaces suck heat.
