I'm installing under floor heating on a concrete floor, it will be having wood flooring. Just wondering if I have to enclose the cable in a steel conduit or use armoured? Or if I'd get away with clipping t&e on the floor? Any advice would help. Thanks.
Pricing a rewire where they want underfloor heating, through out the whole gaff.
This equates to over 70 amps.
Is there a simple way to bring to demand down, like some how controlling that the upstairs and downstairs cycle seperatly etc
