A Comfort Transformation

The challenge in this North York master bathroom was common: beautiful tile that felt perpetually cold, diminishing the luxury experience of the room. The homeowners sought a practical and permanent solution that would provide consistent, gentle heat. WarmlyYours recommended the TempZone™ Flex Roll because it allows for fast, easy installation and provides uniform heat coverage across the 54 square feet of heated space.

Installed directly beneath the tile, marble, or stone flooring, the electric floor heating system transforms the cold surface into a source of gentle warmth, solving the problem of cold tile instantly. The installation was straightforward, with the 240V system connecting to a modern nJoy WiFi Thermostat for precise, programmable control. The result is a truly pampered experience—stepping out of the shower onto a cozy warm floor—all achieved with a highly energy-efficient system that adds long-term value to the Ontario home.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. How much does it cost to run heated floors in a master bathroom in North York, ON?

Based on local electricity rates, running this 54 sq. ft. electric radiant floor heating system in a master bathroom costs approximately $0.12 per hour. This makes the upgrade highly affordable, costing around $0.96 for a full day of typical operation, delivering luxurious floor warming without a high utility bill.

2. Is electric radiant floor heating energy efficient for a Master Bathroom?

Yes, electric radiant floor heating is very energy efficient. Unlike forced-air systems that heat the entire volume of air, this system heats surfaces and objects, operating at a lower temperature to achieve comfortable warmth. Because it is controlled by a thermostat with a floor sensor, it only runs when needed, maximizing energy savings.

3. What type of flooring works best with this TempZone™ system in North York?

The TempZone™ Flex Roll is perfectly suited for use under thermally conductive flooring, such as the tile, marble, and stone used in this North York project. These materials quickly absorb and efficiently radiate the warmth, making them an ideal match for electric in-floor heating and ensuring maximum comfort.

4. Can this electric floor heating system replace the main heating system in the bathroom?

While WarmlyYours systems are primarily designed as a supplemental floor warming source, the 1192-watt system in this master bathroom may provide sufficient heat for a smaller, well-insulated space. However, it is always recommended to perform a heat loss calculation to determine if the system can meet the entire heating requirement for the space.
