Luxury Comfort Underfoot: Transforming a Mississauga Bathroom with Radiant Floor Heating

Master Bathroom Renovation in Mississauga, Ontario, Solved with an Energy-Efficient TempZone™ Easy Mat System

Mississauga, ON
Finished basement bathroom with a 3' x 8' TempZone Floor Heating Mat
Size: 24 sq. ft. Voltage: 120V Wattage: 360 W Amps: 3 A Flooring: Tile, Marble or Stone Cost/hr *: $0.00
This project centered on a homeowner in Mississauga, Ontario, who sought to eliminate the jarring cold of their tile and marble bathroom floor, especially during the harsh Canadian winters. The challenge was finding a comfortable, efficient, and low-profile heating solution that wouldn't require a complicated remodel. WarmlyYours provided the ideal solution with an easy-to-install electric radiant floor heating system—the TempZone™ Easy Mat—controlled by a smart nSpire Touch thermostat, adding both luxurious comfort and lasting value to the home. Project Details Location: Mississauga, Ontario, Canada Heated Space Type: Bathroom Square Footage (Heated): 24 sq. ft. Floor/Surface Type: Tile, Marble or Stone Watts, Volts, Amps: 360 Watts, 120 Volts, 3.0Amps Operating Cost Per Hour: approx $0.04 CAD per hour (Off-Peak) Cost Breakdown (Estimate based on 8 hours/day Off-Peak use): Per Day: approx $0.32 CAD Per Month: approx $9.70 CAD Products Used: TempZone™ Easy Mat 120V (3' x 8'), nSpire Touch Thermostat, Circuit Check The Comfort Upgrade: Warmth for Cold Tile in Ontario The primary motivation for this Mississauga homeowner was simple: the cold shock of stepping onto stone and tile flooring in the bathroom, a common issue in Canadian homes, especially during winter. Unlike traditional forced-air systems that heat the ceiling first, in-floor heating gently radiates warmth directly from the floor surface up, ensuring the most used area of the room—the floor—is always cozy. The installation was streamlined using the TempZone™ Easy Mat. This pre-sized mat was placed in the open areas of the 24 sq. ft. space, simplifying the installation process for the contractor/installer and avoiding the need for complex cable spacing. Once installed under the new tile, the system transformed the bathroom from a cold zone into a sanctuary of warmth. The final step was the connection to the nSpire Touch thermostat, allowing the homeowner to easily program a heating schedule, ensuring the floor was perfectly warm before their morning routine and remaining energy efficient when not in use. This minimal investment delivered maximum, long-term comfort and elevated the luxury feel of the entire master bath.
