Transforming a Cold Space with In-Floor Heating

The primary challenge in this large master bathroom was the cold, hard surface of the tile flooring. In a generous 156 sq. ft. space, cold floor surfaces can make the entire room feel unwelcoming, especially during the cooler mornings in Escondido. The homeowners wanted a premium, long-lasting solution that would provide supplemental heating and turn the room into a true luxury escape.

Preferred Remodelers selected the TempZone™ Flex Roll to deliver 15 watts per square foot of warmth, which is powerful and efficient enough for this large area and the heat demands of tile/stone flooring.¹ The 3-foot-wide mat greatly simplified the installation across the large, open floor plan. The system was wired to the smart nJoy WiFi Thermostat, giving the homeowners precise, programmable, and remote control over their radiant floor heating. The outcome is a spectacularly comfortable bathroom where the floor is always perfectly warmed, enhancing the home's comfort, luxury, and market appeal.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. How much does it cost to run heated floors in a large Escondido bathroom?

For this large, 156 sq. ft. bathroom in Escondido, CA, the electric floor heating system is very affordable to operate. Based on the local electricity rate of approximately $0.34/kWh, the maximum cost to run the system for an entire hour is only about $0.03. Running the system for a typical eight hours a day results in a daily operating cost of less than thirty cents.

2. Can radiant floor heating replace the main heating system in this bathroom?

Yes, the 15 watts per square foot output of the TempZone™ Flex Roll can often serve as the primary heat source in a well-insulated room like this bathroom. For optimal comfort and energy efficiency, WarmlyYours recommends performing a heat loss calculation, but in many modern applications, this system provides sufficient radiant heat to keep the entire space warm without relying on a central forced-air system.

3. What type of flooring works best with this electric radiant floor heating system in Escondido?

The TempZone™ Flex Roll is ideal for installation directly beneath hard flooring materials like the Tile, Marble, or Stone used in this Escondido bathroom. These materials are highly conductive, meaning they transfer the heat from the cable quickly and efficiently to the room, making them the best choice for a fast, powerful floor warming experience.

4. Is electric radiant floor heating energy efficient for a large space?

Absolutely. Electric radiant floor heating is highly energy-efficient because it uses programmed schedules and a precise floor sensor to heat the room from the ground up, warming people and objects directly instead of simply heating the air. The ability to control the large 156 sq. ft. system remotely with the programmable nJoy WiFi Thermostat further maximizes energy savings by ensuring the system only runs when and where it is needed.
