Q:
|
What
system do you recommend under
hardwood flooring?
|
|
A:
|
FloorHeat is an ideal system
for heating
under hardwood floors.
FloorHeat is installed under the hardwood
flooring and nails can be used to secure it
to the floor without causing any
damage to the system. In-Slab is a less expensive
option; however, it needs to be embedded in
1/2" of concrete or mortar. HeatShield Panels are a
revolutionary new floor heating
solution that is also outstanding for
heating under hardwood floors.

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.), radiant
heat cables and
mats are inexpensive and
effective options. When heating
larger areas, Warmzone offers a variety of
other floor
heating options and FloorHeat can
also be used if the cables are unable to be embedded.

Q:
|
What
system do you recommend under carpet?
|
|
A:
|
FloorHeat is an ideal system
for heating under carpet, and
can be installed directly under the carpet
pad. In-Slab (SlabHeat) is also
an affordable 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 and FloorHeat system installs under
existing floors in between floor
joists. Both systems consist 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.

|
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.
