    You can use any thermal source to heat a place, UFH or not.
    What you should do is to get independant advise on the energy supply of your structure. Not from someone who wants to sell you something.

    Usually the UFH is as new as the boiler, these systems aren't that long in use here in Ireland. So if your boiler is old your UFH is propably as well so.
    In the old times (slab-) insulation wasn't heard about, and only sporadically administered in amateur's manners.

    Has your boiler been serviced, is the distribution system adjusted, the chimney clean, controlls working...in short: is your heating system optimised?
    What type of boiler is installed, flow and return temperatures?
