Homes with Upgraded Features Sale Faster According to Remodeling magazine's ""2018 Cost vs. Value Report"", an upscale bathroom remodel which included radiant floor heat yielded an average 56% return (in 2017). This illustrates that radiant heat is a good return on your investment and a smart way to add value to your home for your own enjoyment. Radiant floor heat is becoming not only a luxury but a necessity in today's housing market. Browsing available properties mean sifting through countless online listings. With this over saturation, browsers afford only a few seconds to those listings that catch their eye. What peaks viewer interest? The answer is showcasing its star features, like radiant heat. Zillow Research furthers this point. ""Heated floors / radiant heat"" was the most searched term when looking for homes in New York, NY. Merely including radiant heat in property listings boosted their visibility and desirability to buyers.

Read more about 8 Differences Between Radiant Heat and HVAC. Chances are, you know someone who has heated flooring. Over the past few years, the trend of adding this extra feature to floors has skyrocketed. According to the American Institute of Architects Home Design Trends Survey, the popularity of radiant floor heat grew 10% from 2016 to 2017. What caused this sudden surge for heated floors? Realtors attribute this to a few different factors. Since millennials are now dominating the home-buying sector at 34%, tech-friendly homes are more in demand. Controlling floor heat via smartphone is attractive and important to this demographic. Leslie Banker, the co-author of The Pocket Decorator (2004) and The Pocket Renovator (2007), remarks, ""Anytime you're showing a property or listing a property with radiant heating or cooling, be sure to talk it up as a selling point."" Electric In-floor Heating & the Green Movement Additionally, environmental conservation is a definitive social cause among millennials. The “green” movement could be partially responsible for the growing demand for radiant floor heat. Electric underfloor systems boast low EMF and save around 40% of energy over conventional heating systems. Thermostats designed with energy savings in mind can also help you save money and the environment.

Increasing Natural Gas Prices Over the 2022-2023 winter season, homeowners across the U.S. experienced an unpleasant increase in their monthly heating bill. Some saw their bill rise an astounding 28% due to the rising costs of natural gas. Many homeowners may be hit by another unwanted expense due to a regulation recently proposed by the Department of Energy.  New Regulations The regulation would place restrictions on gas furnaces available on the market to homeowners. They would be required to meet an annual 95% fuel utilization efficiency standard, while the previous expectation was only 80%. Only two out of every five furnaces shipped today in the United States currently meet the standards set by the Biden Administration. If this regulation passes, manufacturers would be mandated to discontinue production of inefficient non-condensing furnaces and produce newer efficient condensing furnaces. When the time comes for homeowners to replace their old unit, they would face hefty installation costs to install the condensing furnaces due to the additional retrofits they require to operate. How Much Pollution Does a Traditional HVAC System Create? A traditional heating, ventilation, and air conditioning system contributes to pollution in several ways, although the extent of the impact depends on a few factors. A well-maintained system typically has a lower influence on the environment than one requiring repair. The average home in the U.S. with a natural gas furnace creates about 6,400 pounds of carbon dioxide per year. That figure can increase significantly for those living in a northern state where the winters are colder. In warmer states, home-based HVAC systems still contribute about 6,600 pounds of carbon dioxide to the environment annually from air conditioning use. Although homeowners can reduce emissions by adjusting their thermostats to have their furnaces or air conditioners operate less often, the gains are minimal. You will save 120 pounds of carbon dioxide emissions for every degree you sacrifice. Radiant Floor Heat Is a Viable Alternative Electric infloor heat is an environmentally friendly alternative to HVAC systems that will decrease your reliance on natural gas. These radiant heat systems deliver a 100% green heating solution, that unlike gas furnaces, has no negative impact on the environment. Energy Efficient Since heat is distributed evenly from the floor, it can provide comfortable warmth while consuming less energy, especially with zoned heating. This feature allows you to heat specific areas without wasting energy on unused spaces. It also allows you to heat the lower portion of the room where you are. Since you are in direct contact with the heat, you can achieve comfort at a lower temperature than with forced air heat. Allergen Free Unlike forced-air HVAC, electric infloor heating doesn't require ducts to distribute heated or cooled air. A home's ductwork can lead to significant energy loss from inadequate sealing and insulation. You also eliminate the circulation of dust commonly found in ductwork which reduces the spread of allergens. Floor Heating Systems There are a variety of infloor heating systems, each designed for a different floor covering. For example, the WarmStep  system is designed to heat wood floors and can also heat vinyl floors. ThermoTile mats are perfect for heating tile floors commonly found in bathrooms. ThermoFloor mats are used for warming laminate flooring. Each of these systems are completely silent and maintenance free. Conclusion Many homeowners are turning to electric infloor heat to warm their homes due to its many advantages. Electric in-floor heating systems warm you from the floor up, they are energy-efficient, save you on your utility bills, promote a healthier indoor environment, and eliminate cold spots and cold toes. With the rising costs of natural gas and the costly updates required to upgrade your furnace, it is the perfect time to consider adding floor heat to your home.

Heating Your Wood Flooring When the topic of floor heat is mentioned, most people would immediately think of heated tile. The concept of heating wood floors is somewhat newer and therefore less understood. Today more and more home owners are choosing to warm the wood flooring in their kitchens, living rooms, and foyers with electric floor heating systems such as WarmStep®. As we talk to customers, we receive a wide variety of questions but have noticed some common themes. We wanted to take this opportunity to address the TOP 5 QUESTIONS we receive about our WarmStep in-floor heating system.  What Flooring Materials is WarmStep Compatible With? WarmStep is an extremely versatile system that can be used with a wide variety of flooring materials. Although the system was designed primarily for heating wood flooring, it can also be used to warm laminate, and rigid vinyl (SPC and WPC) flooring coverings. As for subfloors, it can be installed on top of plywood, OSB, cement, and concrete. What Installation Methods is WarmStep Compatible With? Flooring can be glued, nailed, or even floated with the WarmStep system. Notably, it is the only product of its kind approved by the National Wood Flooring Association for direct installation with hardwood and engineered wood floors. This means that you do not need to embed the system in a mortar or self-leveler. This makes for a much quicker installation and cuts down on materials. Are There Any Safeguards in Place to Protect My Wood Flooring? Absolutely! The WarmStep system was designed specifically for safely heating wood flooring. Distributing a gentle and even heat output of 6 Watts per ft2, the system protects your wood flooring from fast temperature fluctuations. Also, the mats heating cables act as a thermal fuse which safely power down the system in the event of overheating. WarmStep mats are always paired with a floor heating thermostat that communicates with an in-floor temperature sensor for precise control. The thermostat allows users to set a maximum temperature limit for added protection. They also include a wood floor heating setting to maintain an optimum range. As with any wood flooring installation, we recommend installing an in-floor datalogger (available through ThermoSoft) that records the relative humidity and temperature of the flooring environment. This alerts homeowners to issues in real time so corrective actions can be taken immediately. What Happens if the Heating Cable Were to Become Damaged? First, we must point out that this situation is extremely rare. However, we do have safeguards in place to help you through any issues that may arise. Prior to installation, each mat's resistance must be verified and recorded. Perform a second test prior to installing your flooring to verify there has been no change in the resistance readings. In addition, we highly recommend using an InstAlarm Pro (also available through ThermoSoft) during installation. If any changes in resistance occur, the alarm will sound alerting you to a potential issue. Field repair options are also available through ThermoSoft. Once you have received the materials needed to perform the repair, a member of our technical support team will guide you through the restoration. How do you Connect the Mats Together? There is no need to hook the mats together. We carry mats of varying sizes ranging from 1.5-3 feet wide and 3-24 feet in length. Each mat is connected directly to your floor heating thermostat. Each thermostat can supply up to 15 amps. If you are heating a large room requiring a combination of mats exceeding 15 amps we have options available to expand your capacity. Any More Questions? We realize this can be a lot to take in if you are new to floor heating. Thankfully our floor heating specialists are here to help.

Wood Flooring is the First Choice for Many Homeowners Who doesn't want a gorgeous wood floor in their home? The classic styling, luxurious look, and solid feel homeowners can enjoy for a lifetime. But when the temperature drops outside, a wood floor can become cold and uncomfortable. Turning up the forced air heat in most homes will get a room warmer but at the expense of wasted energy, noise, irritating dryness, and floors that remain cold. More and more homeowners are turning to electric floor heat to eliminate these issues.  Wood Floor Heating Systems Prior to recent technological advances, installing electric heat under wood was a touchy subject due to its complexity. ThermoSoft's products adhere to the latest NWFA guidelines and enable easier, faster, and safer heating under hardwood surfaces. Electric heat by ThermoSoft is the smart choice for floor heating. Our systems utilize the latest technology and are rugged, reliable, and effective. Installing a radiant heat system under your wood floor is a simple process. It can be done in less than a day and without any special skills or tools. Let's take a look at how easy it is installing radiant heat under wood with our WarmStep® system. Laying the Ground Work The first step is to create a layout plan. Spending a little bit of time determining how to position your electric heat system and its dimensions will save a lot of time later. The first thing you will need to do is take measurements of the area you wish to heat. Areas with permanent fixtures such as counters and large appliances such as a refrigerator should not be included as you will not be heating these areas. Now that you know the amount of square footage, you can select the combination of mat sizes that will fit your space. You can do this yourself or have ThermoSoft help by creating a layout for each room. Our floor heating specialists are available to help you from planning through project completion. Underlayments and Vapor Barriers When installing the WarmStep® system, depending on the subfloor, you may need to lay an underlayment over the subfloor. The underlayment ensures that the radiant heat system does not project heat into the subfloor or foundation. This reduces the amount of energy required by directing the majority of the energy upwards into the room, rather than down into the ground. You may also want to install a vapor barrier if installing over a concrete floor to ensure your flooring doesn't become damaged by moisture. In Floor Temperature Sensor Once the system is in place, the next step is to install the floor temperature sensor which communicates the floor temperature to your thermostat. It is important to keep the temperature of the floor below 80 degrees per the recommended NWFA guidelines. The sensors have a 15-foot lead wire for long range connection to your thermostat. Thermostats Your thermostat's lead wires will need to be run to your electrical box. Always seek the help of a licensed electrician to make these connections. The thermostat is critical to the proper operation of your electric heat system because it regulates how warm your room will be and how much power the floor heating system will consume. Flooring Installation At this point, all that remains is to install your flooring on top of the electric heating system. Flooring can be floated, glued, or nailed down. Once installed, make sure to learn how to maintain your heated floors to ensure that you can enjoy them for a lifetime. Read the following article, "Maintaining Heated Wood Floors" for more information.

INSTALLING WOOD OVER ELECTRIC RADIANT HEAT Installing a nail or glue down wood floor over radiant heat is easier than you might think. However, it's important to choose the right materials and follow the best practices recommended by the NWFA as well as the flooring and fastening manufacturers. Laying the Groundwork Before you get started, it's important to plan for this project. You should consider installing a humidification system to maintain the right moisture levels anytime you have wood floors regardless of whether or not you have floor heating. HVAC humidifiers are very popular today because they will humidify your entire home and are low maintenance. The average cost for a HVAC humidifier ranges from $100-$300. If you are hiring out to have one installed it can run from $395-$734 on average. The Importance of a Data Logger Radiant heating floor systems work better and last longer when the end-user maintains the right conditions in terms of temperature and humidity. When you're planning to install one of these systems, the NWFA strongly recommends you incorporate a data logger. A data logger will provide the homeowner with real-time information about the humidity and temperature of the flooring, alerting them to unfavorable conditions before any damage is caused. Different Types of Systems When installing a nail or glue down wood floor over radiant heat, it's important to adapt the materials and methods used to the type of system you're installing. You'll run into three main types of electric heating systems: Embedded systems. Direct contact systems. Systems that you install under or between the floor joists. Direct contact systems are usually faster and cheaper to install because you can glue or nail down the floor over the heating mats. However, not all direct contact systems allow for this installation method. If you're installing a polymer or metal foil system, you'll have no choice but to use a floating floor. You can use the nail and glue down method with low-voltage fabric heating mats such as ThermoSoft  WarmStep mats which has built in thermal cutoffs for added safety. With a floor heating system like this, there's no need to use self-levelers or mortar. Because you do not have to wait for cement to dry you can install the mats the same day as the flooring. Installing a Nail and Glue Down Wood Floor Over Radiant Heat Start by checking any specifications from both the flooring and the radiant heating system manufacturer. Make sure to follow the proper nailing schedule. Failure to do so often results in noises or gapping.A You should also recommend the right type of wood floor. Most manufacturers advise against exotic woods, hickory, or beech since these species are less stable. How to Nail Flooring Over a Radiant Heat System Nailing down flooring over heating elements is a simple process: Prep the subfloor before you get started. Clean the surface and make sure it's flat and has a normal moisture content. Apply adhesive where each mat ends and begins. You should cover a 5-inch strip to glue the mats to the subfloor. Place a section of the wood flooring perpendicular to the heating elements. Secure the wood flooring with a cleat or staple following the manufacturer's nailing schedule and making sure you install fasteners at least 1/4 inch away from heating elements and wires. Once you get to the 5-inch border where you used the flooring adhesive, apply additional adhesive on the surface of the heating mats (to secure it to the flooring above) instead of fasteners to avoid damaging the heating elements. How to Glue Down Flooring Over a Radiant Heat System Depending on the manufacturer's specifications, you can use an adhesive instead of nailing down the flooring. Working in sections, secure the heating mats to the subfloor with adhesive. Next cover the surface of the heating mats with adhesive and place the flooring over it. If you decide to use the nail-glue assist method, make sure you glue the flooring perpendicular to the heating elements and follow the manufacturer's nailing schedule.

Installing In-Floor Electric Heating Mats Looking for an easy to install floor heating system for your tile or stone flooring? ThermoTile® electric in-floor heating mats are perfect for installation under ceramic tile and natural stone. They are also compatible with a variety of other flooring types such as hardwood, engineered wood, vinyl, and carpet. ThermoTile mats are securely embedded in concrete so it's important to get the job done right the first time. In this article, we go over the materials, tools and basic instructions to ensure your ThermoTile floor heating system is installed correctly. Let's start by first taking a look at the materials and components required for this installation.  Floor Heating Thermostat You will need a floor heating thermostat to adjust the level of heat produced by your mats. Each thermostat includes an in-floor heat sensor that communicates the floor temperature to the thermostat. The majority of our thermostats also come with built in GFCI protection which provides protection from electrical shocks. A If you are looking for a programmable thermostat, we would recommend the OJ Touch Screen (UDG4-4999). If you would like to control your floor heat remotely, the OJ Wi-Fi Enabled Touch Screen (UWG4-4999) would be the thermostat for you. Power Module If you plan to use a single thermostat to control multiple mats with a combined amp draw of over 15 amps, you will need an OJ Power Module which provides additional power. A  The power module works with any OJ touchscreen thermostat and is compatible with both 120V and 240V systems. Electric Box and Conduit A 1-gang (2 inch wide) or 2-gang (4 inch wide) electrical box and mud ring are needed to mount your thermostat. We recommend a 4-inch box because it provides additional room to connect multiple leads. Install ½” minimum conduit from the bottom plate up to the electrical box. Install ½” conduit if necessary to make room for more lead wires when using multiple ThermoTile® heating mats. Thin-Set & Self-Leveling Cement Since ThermoTile mats are embedded in concrete, the system is always protected from being damaged after installation. The mats can either be embedded in a thin-set mortar, or a self-leveling cement. The choice of which to use depends on type of subfloor and flooring material being installed. Self-leveling mortar is the most appropriate for flooring types that require a perfectly level subfloor such as vinyl, laminate, or carpet floor which is susceptible to showing unevenness. If installing floor heat under tile or stone flooring, we would recommend using thin-set also known as modified Portland cement mortar. What Tools are Needed to Installation? Scissors:A Use to cut and shape the mesh on ThermoTile Mats. Digital Multimeter: Needed to verify the resistance of each ThermoTile mat throughout the installation process. InstAlarm: Monitors for faults during the installation process. Hot Glue Gun, Tape or Staple Gun: Needed to fasten mats to the sub-floor. Plastic Trowel: Needed to spread mortar over the mats. Install Preparation Measure the area you wish to heat and calculate the total square feet. Exclude areas where permanent fixtures like toilets, sinks, and bathtubs will be located. Contact one of our floor heating specialists to help select the right combination of mats for your area. Once you have your ThermoTile mats, tools, and all other required materials you can begin your installation. Electrical Rough-In Each mat comes with 10-foot leads and each floor sensor has a 15-foot lead.A  When installing your electrical box, make sure that your lead wires and floor sensor will be in reach of the box. Run your conduit from your electrical box to your bottom plate. You will need one conduit to run your lead wires and another to run your floor sensor. Mat Installation Begin laying your mats making sure to stay 4-6 inches away from the ring of a toilet and approximately 3 inches away from the side of any walls. The mat's mesh can be cut and turned to fit any room shape. When cutting the mesh, it's critically important to avoid cutting the heating cables. The cable can be positioned loosely (separate from the mat) if necessary to go around permanent fixtures. Once in place, fasten the mats to the subfloor. Place floor sensor equally between the mat's heating cables. Embed the mats in either a thin-set or self-leveling cement. Once your cement has fully hardened, you can install your floor covering of choice. The above steps provide a basic installation overview, please refer to the full Installation Guidelines or contact us to go over a more detailed installation plan. You can also schedule a live one-on-one video call with us from your smartphone for assistance.

A Sneak Peek into the Future of Floor Heating The thought of installing heated wood floors can be a daunting one for homeowners. And with the complex nature of many floor heating systems, it's easy to understand why. That is exactly where the WarmStep electric floor heating system comes into play: it's a safe, reliable, and much simpler to install when compared to other floor heating systems. If you are looking to install in-floor heat in your home, continue reading to find out why the WarmStep system is perfect for your home.  1. Easy Install Traditional floor heating systems need to be embedded into cement or mortar which requires a great deal of labor, materials, and extra cost. Fortunately, WarmStep doesn't require embedment and can be in direct contact with your flooring. Since you don’t have to wait overnight for your cement to dry, this system can be installed the same day as the flooring. 2. Has a Shut-Off Feature for Increase Safety One concern that many homeowners have about electric floor heating is safety. WarmStep uses a unique technology called FiberThermics that has a built-in shut-off feature that is activated if the heating wires were to get too hot. These wires are also extremely flexible making them virtually unbreakable. When you choose WarmStep, you gain peace of mind knowing you have chosen a safe high-quality system that will last the lifetime of your home. 3. Compatible with a Variety of Flooring Types Some in-floor heating systems simply aren't compatible with certain types of flooring. The WarmStep system is compatible with engineered wood, laminate flooring, vinyl flooring, and traditional hardwood. It is also compatible with most types of subfloors, vapor barriers and underlayments. 4. Compatible with a Variety of Installation Methods WarmStep is also compatible with multiple installation methods. Flooring can be glued, nailed, or even floated with this system. Notably, WarmStep is the only product of its kind approved by the National Wood Flooring Association for direct installation with hardwood and engineered wood floors. 5. Efficient and Practical Did you know that WarmStep is controlled with a thermostat, just like an HVAC system? WarmStep uses a heating sensor underneath the floor to ensure that it's at just the right temperature to keep you warm and comfortable. If paired with a programmable thermostat such as the OJ Touch Screen Thermostat, you can schedule your floor heat to run only when you are home to enjoy it. You can also adjust your floor heat when you are on the go if you upgrade to the OJ Wi-Fi Enabled Touch Screen Thermostat. 6. Will Not Raise Your Floor Height Unlike other radiant floor heating systems consisting of water pipes or thick cables, WarmStep is lightweight, thin, and designed to keep your floor height consistent from room to room. These in-floor heating mats are only 1/16 of an inch thick and therefore will not create trip hazards when walking from one room to the next. 7. Protects Your Flooring Wood flooring can become damaged by humidity and quick temperature changes which can cause undesirable warping. Luckily, WarmStep pairs with a device known as a FidBox® that monitors these levels and sends an alert if the conditions are out of range. The FidBox is installed beneath your flooring and will send a message directly to your mobile device to alert you if action is required to protect your flooring. The Wrap-Up The future of floor heating has arrived, and it is WarmStep. Watch the video below for a brief introduction to this unique electric floor heating system.

Enjoy Warm Tile Flooring Considering adding the soothing warmth of heated floors to your home? If so, look no further. ThermoTile is a superior in-floor heating system that is perfect for heating tile and stone. It is also compatible with a variety of other flooring types such as wood, engineered wood, vinyl, and carpet. But what is ThermoTile exactly and what benefits should you know about? Let's take a closer look at this electric floor heating system. What Exactly is ThermoTile Heated Floor System? ThermoSoft is a radiant heat technology company that provides safe, reliable, and efficient heated floor systems. ThermoTile is one such system that uses electrically powered heating cables designed to be embedded in mortar or cement. This system is available in loose cable form or in mat form, each offering their own benefits. Let's take a look at each of these options to determine which is right for you.  ThermoTile Mats This system is the easiest to install and offers a degree of flexibility as the mesh in each ThermoTile mat can be carefully cut (avoiding the heating cable), and turned to fit the shape your room. Since the mat comes with evenly distributed pre-spaced cables, you will save time on measuring and attaching cables to the subfloor. Simply roll out the mats and plug them into your thermostat.  ThermoTile Cable The ThermoTile cable comes in a roll of loose cable which accommodates areas of ANY size and shape. This is the best option for irregular shaped rooms and spaces with many permanent fixtures to work around. This system is budget-friendly and more flexible than the mats given the nature of the loose cable design. The cables can be arranged and secured to the ground with our FixFast hold down straps as needed. Installation does however take a bit longer due the measuring and placement of the cables.  ThermoTile Cable with Membrane You can speed up the installation of ThermoTile cable by pairing it with an uncoupling membrane. This is a lightweight and durable polyethylene sheet with evenly spaced studs which provide a channel to run your cable. The membrane is secured to the subfloor. The cable is then snapped into place between the studs without the need for clips or fasteners. Uncoupling membranes are highly recommended when installing tile since they offer protection from both tile and grout cracking. They also provide vapor management, waterproofing, soundproofing and a thermal break that reduces the time it takes to heat up your floors. ThermoSoft offers three types of membranes, Schluter DITRA-HEAT®, Prodeso®, and Prova FLEX-HEAT®. Speak to a member of our team to decide which is best for your application. Now, let’s take a look at some of the benefits this system has to offer. Superior Performance and Healthy Air A ThermoTile heated floor system gently heats the room and decreases your usage of forced air systems that spread dust and allergens throughout your home. The evenly spaced cables provide a consistent temperature reducing drafts and concentrating heat lower in the room where you need it. Unlike forced air systems that are noisy when cycling on and off, ThermoTile is completely silent. Strengthen the Floor Each ThermoTile mat consists of a durable fibreglass mesh which was engineered to keep the cable flat to the ground. These mats actually strengthen the floor and the same is true for the ThermoTile cable when installed with a membrane. And in case you are wondering, ThermoTile is backed by a lifetime limited warranty providing peace of mind. 100% Efficient & Maintenance Free The ThermoTile electric floor heating system converts 100% of energy into heat. This efficiency is simply unmatched by both HVAC systems and hydronic floor heating systems. And because the system doesn't have any moving parts or filters to replace, there is no maintenance required! This saves you money on costly repairs and frees up time that can be better spent elsewhere. Final Thoughts The ThermoTile in-floor heating system is compatible with most flooring materials. While the mats offer ease of installation, loose cable is considered the “budget friendly” option with greater flexibility. When cable is installed on a membrane, it can speed up installation and increase the life of your flooring.

Heat Your Bathroom for Less than a Dollar Per Day! Uncovering the Cost to Run In-floor Electric Heat in Your Bathroom Many people have experienced the comfort of underfloor heating at a friend or relatives house and have seriously considered installing an in-floor heating system in their own home. But as consumers we must always ask ourselves, How much will this cost? It is easy to find the purchase price of an underfloor heating system but uncovering the ongoing cost to run it can be a mystery. Without this information many homeowners shy away from the idea for fear of the unknown. Today we would like to unravel this mystery and show just how affordable underfloor heating can be.  Take a Look at Your Electric Bill There are many different rates found on your bill which can seem daunting, but have no fear, there are only two that you need look at. The first is the total amount of the bill. This is the amount you need to pay each month. The second is the total Kilowatt-hours (kWh) used. This is the total units of electricity used in the bill period. Calculate Your Hourly Electric Rate Simply divide your total bill amount by the kWh used to find your cost per hour. Let’s say for example the total amount of your bill is $170 and you used 1,015 kWh of electricity. Your electric rate comes to $0.167 or 16.7 cents per kWh which not so coincidentally was the household national average in October of 2022.  Find the Wattage of Your Heating Mat ThermoSoft makes it easy to locate this information by displaying each systems power rating on our website alongside its pricing. Since this article describes underfloor heating in a bathroom, lets choose a system designed to heat tile and stone, a common flooring found in bathrooms. In this example we will use one of our ThermoTile Mats, a great choice for tile heating due to their low cost and ease of installation. A typical bathroom can average anywhere from 40-100 square feet. Let's assume our bathroom has 60 square feet of walkable space we wish to heat. The heating mat that would accommodate this area (item# TT40-120), uses 720 watts of power. As we learned, household electricity is measured by kilowatts, so we must convert this number accordingly. To do this, divide this figure by 1,000 which comes to .72 kilowatts.  Calculate the Cost Per Hour to Run Heating Mat Now that we know our electric rate ($0.167 per kilowatt-hour) and the wattage of our heating mat (.72 kilowatts), we can determine the cost per hour to operate our mat by multiplying them together (.167x.72). This comes out to 12 cents per hour. But wait, we are assuming the heat is running for the full hour which is very unlikely. ThemoSoft’s underfloor heating systems are controlled by a thermostat connected to an in-floor temperature sensor that cycles on and off to maintain your desired temperature. In most cases, your floor heating system may only need to be on for 15 minutes per hour. This means it's only actually running 25% of the time bringing your cost of 12 cents down to 3 cents per hour.  Monthly Cost to Operate Your Heating Mat To calculate your monthly cost, multiply the cost per hour to run your mat by the amount of hours in the month. In this example, we will use 30 days since it is the average amount of days in a month. This means that on average there are 720 hours in a month (30x24). At 3 cents per hour your monthly cost for electric underfloor heating comes to only $21.60 per month.  It Gets Even Better We all know that there is no place like home, we also know that we must leave our homes for work, school, and other activities. Pairing your heating system with a programmable thermostat such our UDG4-4999 with touch screen, or our UWG4-4999 with Wi-Fi connectivity allows for maximum heating efficiency. Our monthly cost of $21.60 above assumes we are maintaining the same temperature all throughout the week. We can decrease this cost significantly by running our floor heating system only when we are at home to enjoy it. Final Thoughts Now that you know just how affordable heated flooring is, there is no reason to hesitate any longer. Say goodbye to the unpleasant feeling of cold tile. Step out of the shower and be greeted with the inviting sensation of gentle radiant heat warming your feet.
