Why Electric? There are a multitude of reasons why our business at WarmlyYours is based around our electric floor heating systems and many reasons more why electric floor heating may be the most beneficial choice for you. Electric floor heating systems, such as ours, generate an even heat throughout your room and home and will not disturb dust – reducing noise levels, dry air, and possible allergic reactions. The sheer ease of installation, along with the more attractive cost and non-existent maintenance fees make electric floor heating systems a natural choice over its water-based, or hydronic, counterparts in most cases.
The time it takes to heat the floor and room is also a reason why people may choose electric. Electric heating systems are placed above the sub-floor, just under the flooring material so that the heat can rise, usually within 30 to 60 minutes, this compares favorably to water-based alternatives which are often placed 1.5" or 2" into a cement slab and can take up to 7 hours to heat up when they are first turned ON. Because of this, many people simply leave their water-based systems ON for months at a time, which consumes energy over a far longer period. This coupled with the thermostats that allow you to preset ON-OFF cycles to provide heat only when and where you need it makes electric systems the more energy efficient.
Other reasons that you may prefer to go electric: Floor elevation - Thin electric systems will elevate the floor by only 1/8" compared to adding a couple of inches to your floor’s elevation when you add water-based systems. Cost - When dealing with remodeling jobs and smaller bathroom it’s most likely that installation costs, maintenance costs and operating costs will all be lower using and electric floor heating system than a water based one.
