Product Questions

Q: Do you recommend electric or hydronic floor heating products?

A: Different systems make more sense in different applications. To learn more about the differences

Q: What system do you recommend under hardwood flooring?

A: Zmesh is the ideal system for heating under hardwood floors. Zmesh is installed directly under
     the hardwood flooring and nails can pierce the Zmesh without causing any damage to the system.
     BlueHeat is a less expensive option; however, it needs to be embedded in 1/2" of concrete or
     mortar.

Q: What system do you recommend under tile floors?

A: Different systems are recommended depending on the size of the area you are heating. For
     smaller areas (10 to 300 sq. ft.), Danfoss Cables and Mats are inexpensive and effective options.
     When heating larger areas, BlueHeat is the least expensive option and Zmesh can be used
     if the cables are unable to be embedded.

Q: What system do you recommend under carpet?

A: Zmesh is also an ideal system for heating under carpet. Zmesh can be installed directly under
the carpet pad. BlueHeat is a less expensive option; however, it needs to be embedded in 1/2" of
concrete or mortar.

Q: Can I heat under an existing floor?

A: Yes. The RetroHeat System installs under existing floors in between floor joists. This system
     consists of panels that staple to the sides of the floor joists. After insulation is installed, the system
     forces heat up through the floors, warming the floor above. The system can be enough to heat an
     entire room, depending on the amount of heat required to heat the room.

Q: What are the power requirements for your systems?

A: The power requirements vary from system to system. Generally, cable heating systems require a
240 V. 30 amp breaker for every 300 square feet you are heating, and Zmesh requires a
240 V. 30 amp breaker for every 700 square feet you are heating.

Installation Questions

Q: Who installs your systems?

A: Warmzone has a network of independent installers that can assist you with your installation.
However, all of our systems come with complete installation manuals and can be installed by any electrician, contractor, or experienced "do-it-yourselfer." An electrician is needed to supply you
with the necessary power and to hook up power to your system.

Q: Do you have local dealers?

A: Warmzone sells directly to the end user and can guarantee you premium pricing. Our internal
     staff of qualified professions can answer your questions and assist you in selecting the best
     system for your application. Warmzone also sells through certified independent installers that
     can assist you in your product selection and installation.
