[QUOTE="Smiler5714, post: 968868, member: 53630"] Okay. So heating a concrete floor from cold could easily take a day or so before you may feel any serious heat through the face of the tiles. Obviously the time scale is dependant upon the floor / insulation make up below the tile (how thick is the insulation / how far below the tile is the insulation / how cold was it before switching the underfloor on etc). You say that you are starting to feel heat at around the 6 hour point which is a good sign as it shows that it is actually heating. You need to keep the system switched on a lot longer yet but say every hour just carry out a check of the surface temperature of the tiles in various places over the floor. If you use the back of your hand to check this and not your palm then you will have a better idea of just how warm or hot it is getting. If it feels like a snugly / comfortable warm temperature then that should be as far as it needs to get. If the temperature is really getting quite hot or too warm to be comfortable on the back of your hand then it is going too far and needs to be turned off. The temperature shouldn't be allowed to go above around 55deg's 'C' as there is a risk then of breaking down the screed below. Trust me here though, even 40deg's on the back of your hand will feel uncomfortable! so, in carrying out the above you will confirm that that part of the system is functioning correctly. You didn't say in which part of the floor the sensor was placed?? Was it the timber side or the concrete side?? Obviously in all of this, do be aware and remember that you now have no sensor connected so make sure you turn off the system before going to bed this evening if you carry out the above first thing in the morning. Let me know how you get on. [/QUOTE]
