New York City’s five boroughs are situated where the Hudson River meets the Atlantic Ocean. Manhattan is at the heart of these, a densely populated borough that’s among the world’s major commercial, financial and cultural centers. Its landmark sites include skyscrapers such as the Empire State and Chrysler Buildings, along with Times Square and sprawling Central Park.
Although the city offers many cultural advantages, the winters can be challenging. Based on data from currentresults.com, temperatures that drop below freezing are common in New York throughout winter. NYC has a few nights a year when the thermometer sinks to 10 degrees Fahrenheit or lower usually in January and February. For an average of 18 days a year, the city's highest temperature doesn’t get above freezing. That’s when radiant floor heating can bring welcome relief to combat the chill of cold flooring in your home.
Warming Up a Kitchen Floor in the Big Apple
These NYC homeowners chose to upgrade their kitchen with beautiful tile flooring. At the same time, they decided it was important to include in-floor heating in the remodeling project to modernize their home and appeal to potential homebuyers should they decide to sell. As a result, these homeowners will be able to enjoy the benefits of their newly remodeled warm kitchen with the knowledge that it will also help boost their home’s resale value.
After carefully considering their options, they purchased a WarmlyYours TempZone™ flex roll floor heating system to bring additional warmth to their elegant but cold new kitchen tile flooring. The floor heating covers just over 118 square feet of floor space costing a total of $1174.50, which amounts to less than $10.00 per square foot. (see floor plan)
Operating Cost Calculator factors in the average kWh cost in NYC of just under 19 cents resulting in a daily cost of $1.18 to heat this kitchen for eight hours a day, a very reasonable price to pay for the comfort of a warm and cozy kitchen. An added benefit is that it costs under $50.00 to heat the kitchen during the coldest month of the year, based on WarmlyYours’s heat loss calculations. If radiant heat can be the primary heat source, you can save even further.
