You can control it as you lock and open the valves which are usually in the kitchen sink or utility room. warming the floor depends on what parts of the floor the pipes are buried. under. you just need to ask the landlord lady what valves are for which rooms in your flat.
if you only open the control valves of the rooms you used to stay, you can save lots of money.
electric heaters make you pay a huge amount of electric fees. If you feel still cold at your apartment turn up the temperature of the korean floor heater and lock the valves for warming other rooms you don't use.
Koreans generally pay about 120- 130 US dollars for the electric bill a month if they use computers at their home. in winter 50- 70 dollars for the gas.
If you need further helps you may better ask any korean friends, who can interpret what you want from your landlord or if you ask somebody at a university for translating, they would help you, or writing down what you want to say to your landlord on a paper and bring the paper to a korean, the person would be pleased to help and translate it into korean for you.

Check the water valves to the floor. There is a place (usually under the sink or in your utility room) that has a number of valves. Each one controls the hot water flow to each room. Make sure that all of them are turned on.

Also, the pipes can get blocked up, so you'll have to call the "gwalibi" or maintenance guy to come and fix it (usually takes 15 min).

We keep our floor on 55 degrees and it's warm enough. In terms of bills, we'll pay around 50,000 won a month in the winter.

Your best bet is to find someone bi-lingual and ask them to help you explain your problem to your landlady.

Ask your husband to look on Camp Casey for a housing office. He should be able to get them to come out and look at your apartment and get the heat going for you. You were sup post to go to this office before you rented an apartment, to make sure you do not have a land lord that keeps the heat down. If not then he should have a katusa in his company that would be willing to come out and help, if you have no Korean friends as of yet. I should be in Camp Casey in a month or two (too late to fix your heating problem) This will be my first time there as a civilian and twenty years since i have lived in Korea. I will most like have a million question for this site soon.
