What are your thoughts on using electric underfloor heating as a primary heat source in a church?
It's a typical old church building - a couple of hundred years old, very high ceiling, masonry walls, single glazed stained glass windows, no insulation anywhere. You know the sort of thing. Cold, and difficult to heat. The wall heaters aren't very effective, as the heat just rises up away from where it's useful.
The church representative suggested UFH, the idea being that it would produce heat where it's needed most. The church is used sporadically, so it wouldn't be heated all the time, just when needed.
Just wondering what you all think of the idea? Has anyone here done the same, or heated a similar space using UFH? What about warm up times, and efficiency?
