When it comes to achieving year-round comfort in your home, a Floor Heating System is one of the most effective and luxurious solutions. At WarmTemps, we specialize in providing advanced floor heating solutions designed to keep your home warm, energy-efficient, and stylish.
What is a Floor Heating System?
A Floor Heating System is a modern heating solution where heat is distributed evenly across the floor surface, radiating upward to warm the entire room. Unlike traditional radiators that heat the air unevenly, a Floor Heating System ensures consistent warmth and improved comfort.
There are two main types:
Electric Floor Heating System:
Uses heating cables or mats under the floor to generate heat.
Hydronic Floor Heating System:
Uses a network of water pipes connected to a boiler or heat pump.
At WarmTemps, we provide both systems and help you choose the right one for your needs.
Benefits of Installing a Floor Heating System
Before diving into the installation process, it’s important to understand why homeowners are choosing this upgrade:
Even Heat Distribution – No cold spots in your rooms.
Energy Efficiency – Lower running costs compared to traditional heating.
Silent Operation – No noise from fans or vents.
Space-Saving – No bulky radiators or ductwork.
Allergy-Friendly – Less dust circulation compared to forced-air systems.
Step-by-Step Floor Heating System Installation Process
Site Preparation
Remove existing flooring (if necessary).
Clean and level the subfloor to ensure smooth installation.
Install insulation boards to prevent heat loss.
Laying the Heating System
Electric System – Place heating mats or cables according to the manufacturer’s layout plan.
Hydronic System – Install a network of pipes connected to a manifold and boiler or heat pump.
Wiring and Plumbing
Electric systems require professional wiring to connect the thermostat and power supply.
Hydronic systems need plumbing work to connect the pipes to the heat source.
Testing the System
Perform a resistance or pressure test to ensure there are no faults before covering the system.
Installing the Flooring
Lay your chosen floor covering over the heating system.
Materials like tile, laminate, and engineered wood are ideal for optimal heat transfer.
System Commissioning
Power on the system and set the thermostat for gradual heating.
Avoid sudden temperature changes to protect flooring materials.
DIY vs. Professional Floor Heating System Installation
While some homeowners consider DIY installation for electric systems, hiring professionals like WarmTemps ensures:
Correct and safe installation.
Compliance with local building codes.
Warranty protection for both materials and labor.
Optimized performance and energy efficiency.
Installing a Floor Heating System involves electrical or plumbing work that must be done right the first time. Choosing a trusted provider like WarmTemps guarantees a smooth process from start to finish.
Maintenance Tips for Your Floor Heating System
A properly installed Floor Heating System requires minimal maintenance, but a few simple steps can keep it running efficiently:
Regularly Check the Thermostat – Ensure it’s functioning properly.
Inspect for Damage – If you notice uneven heating, call a technician immediately.
Schedule Annual Servicing – Especially for hydronic systems to check boilers and pumps.
WarmTemps offers maintenance packages to keep your system in peak condition year-round.
Cost of Floor Heating System Installation
The cost of installing a Floor Heating System depends on:
The size of the heated area.
Type of system (electric or hydronic).
Flooring material.
