Functional heating takes place according to our screed layer to relieve stresses from the screed and thus avoid (hair) cracks. For example, I was also surprised that we initially do not have to heat at all (which would have been quite difficult without heating). But what did people do before underfloor heating? Let it dry for a winter. So if you have time, you might even save money since this is currently probably done with electricity (heating rod) and thus causes considerable costs. Independently of each other, energy consultants, plumbing, and the drilling company warned us against heating the screed with the heat pump in order not to extract too much energy from the borehole in a short time.
