I agree that spring time is best but if you have well established plants, you could try a few now, to experiment.
Look for surface runners and cut a piece off that has a bunch of small plantlets at the end of the runner (stolon).
Separate the plantlets, one by one, removing any old stragly leaves, then pot them up individually into 3 inch pots with potting compost containing John Inis.
Keep well watered and keep an eye out for Heuchera rust on the under sides of leaves.
