electric v hot water underfloor heating

[PSSL]

I am supposed to be getting a wet underfloor heating system installed. Contractor at last minute is proposing electric. Reasons - cheaper to run, easier to control. Am I being conned? I have a combi boiler and they say that it is very difficult to control underfloor heating (one room only), existing CH and Hot water. All views appreciated.

mmmm a kw of gas around 3p akw of electricity around 8p so his reason is not the whole story

the only way electric can be cheaper is if they reduce the heat output by greater than half

Stick with the wet one and make sure a good sparky wires up proper controls for it correctly.

I thought electric was around 16p/Kw these days
