Underfloor heating – yes or no?

Does anyone regret installing underfloor heating after some time?
I’m not looking for theory, but real-life experiences after moving in and using it for at least one heating season. At the planning stage, it often seems like a very convenient and modern solution, but I’m curious how it performs in everyday use.
Did anything turn out to be less practical than expected? Or on the contrary – would you not choose anything else now?

What are your impressions after some time of use?

Hi, We’ve had underfloor heating for just over two years now, so we’ve been through two full winters with it. Looking back, I definitely don’t regret installing it.The biggest advantage is the comfort. The temperature is consistent throughout the house, without the hot and cold spots we used to get with traditional radiators. Another benefit is having more usable wall space, which made furnishing the rooms much easier.
The only thing that takes a little getting used to is that underfloor heating responds more slowly. You can’t just switch it on for an hour and expect the room to warm up straight away. Once I realised that it’s designed to maintain a steady temperature rather than being constantly turned on and off, it became very easy to live with.
If I were building another house today, I’d choose underfloor heating again without a second thought.
