I have flown some with underfloor heaters for the pilots’ feet too - I think it was on A330.
Toasty !
Without getting my Airbus course notes out, so from memory, they are different things. Floor level heaters in the galley and flight deck are surface plate heaters with conditioned air supplied over them to give a warm air supply output. The heated floor panels in the door areas are electrical elements embedded into the floor boards and come under ATA 30 (Ice and Rain).
