Hi All
I have Underfloor Heating and need advice on the most economical way to run it. I have a Biasi oil fired boiler feeding 2 manifolds, 1 for downstairs and 1 for upstairs plus 2 thermostats.
Should I fit a timer?

Thanking you all in advance!

most underfloor that ive seen works on a programmable room stat the logic being that the floor acts like a storage heater so should never get completely cold you simply set diferent temps for diferent periods of the day
in theory this is the most economical way to run it
you will however need a timer for the hot water i would imagine
 
depending on the the surfave finish wood or screed there are different heat times to get the room up to temp.
screed floors with marble can take up to 5 hours, but retain the heat for almost the same time, so if you fit a timer, take that into consideration. also every room/zone should have it's own room stat controlling the appropriate motorized valve on the manifold.
good luck
