The Story

The challenge for this Idaho Falls home was a common one: how to keep a large room with a notoriously cold flooring material, like tile or stone, comfortable during the state's frigid winters. The homeowners were planning a beautiful renovation for their 510 sq. ft. dining room but knew that without the right heating solution, the new floor could become a source of discomfort. They wanted a proactive solution that was both effective and invisible, preserving the clean aesthetic of their design.

WarmlyYours provided the perfect answer with an electric radiant heating system featuring TempZone™ Flex Rolls. Designed to cover 414 sq. ft. of the floor, the rolls allowed for a fast and straightforward installation over the existing wood subfloor. Because the system is silent and installed directly beneath the tile, it provides consistent, even heat that radiates upward from the floor without affecting air quality or taking up any space with vents or radiators.

The result is a complete transformation. The dining room is now the heart of the home, a warm and inviting space for family meals and entertaining guests, regardless of the temperature outside. The homeowners can enjoy the beauty and durability of their stone tile floor with the added luxury of gentle, consistent warmth underfoot, proving that comfort and style can go hand-in-hand.

Featured Products in This Project

  • TempZone™ Flex Rolls: The ideal solution for large, regularly shaped rooms. These rolls feature our TempZone™ heating cable affixed to a durable mesh backing, allowing for rapid installation. The roll is simply secured to the subfloor and can be easily cut and turned to achieve full coverage.
  • nSpire Touch Thermostat: This programmable thermostat offers precise temperature control with its intuitive color touchscreen. It includes a floor sensor to ensure optimal comfort and efficiency, along with Class A GFCI protection for safety.
  • nJoin Power Module: For large projects like this where the system's amperage exceeds the limit of a single thermostat, the nJoin Power Module is used. It works in conjunction with the main thermostat to safely power an additional section of the heated floor, ensuring seamless operation across the entire space.

* Running this 414 sq. ft. floor heating system is surprisingly affordable. Based on Idaho's average residential electricity rate of approximately $0.115 per kWh, it costs only $0.70 per hour to run at full power. For a typical daily use of 4 hours during meals, that’s about $2.80 per day, or less than $85 a month, to add priceless comfort and a touch of luxury to this home's central gathering space.

Frequently Asked Questions


Based on Idaho's average electricity rates, a large 414 sq. ft. system costs about $0.70 per hour to run. Daily operating costs depend on usage, but heating the room for a few hours during the morning and evening is a very affordable way to add significant comfort.
In many cases, yes. A full-coverage electric floor heating system like this one can often serve as the primary heat source for a room, especially in well-insulated homes. It provides consistent, even warmth that can reduce the reliance on forced-air systems, which often create drafts and dry out the air.
The TempZone™ system is perfect for tile, marble, and stone floors, as seen in this project. These materials are excellent conductors of heat, making them feel luxuriously warm. This system is also compatible with other popular flooring types like luxury vinyl tile (LVT) and engineered wood.
Yes, it is a highly efficient form of heating. Radiant heat warms objects and people in the room directly from the ground up, rather than just heating the air. This allows you to feel comfortable at a lower thermostat setting, reducing overall energy consumption. Programmable thermostats, like the nSpire Touch, further enhance efficiency by allowing you to schedule heating only for the times you use the room.
