Underfoor heating electrics – Question

Hi

I’m installing Warmup underfloor heating and want some advice on the electrics...

Before I get an electrician to do the final connections I need to install the back boxes and route the wiring for the thermostat control and for the RCD/fuse box.

Can you confirm that the cold tails (L + N + E) and floor probe are connected straight to the Thermostat. The thermostat is connected to an RCD, and the RCD is connected to the ring main? Do I need to add a fuse box between the ring main and the RDC switch?

Also underfloor heating is part of the building regs do I need to contact the council to inform them of the installation or is the installation done and the electrician informs them be sending off the paperwork?

Thanks in advance.

The electric underfloor-heating installation is notifiable work under Part P, you'd be better off getting a registered electrician to carry out the installation, certificate and notify it, job done.

you can fit 2 deep back boxes, at least 35mm. 1 for the stat. to which the element and probe leads go. next to that fit 2nd box for a RCD FCU.
