When WarmlyYours electric floor heating systems are being installed on a concrete slab, we strongly recommend adding a layer of insulation over the slab prior to installing the system. While our electric floor heating provides up to 25% more heating power per square foot than many of our competitors, the slab will always act as a "heat sink." Some of the heat that would otherwise be transferred to the flooring surface will remain in the slab, causing the floor’s surface temperature to be considerably lower. This is true with any electric radiant floor heating system.
When installed on top of a concrete slab without insulation, it is generally accepted that electric floor heating will take the chill away from the floor and provide a small amount of warmth. Adding insulation on top of the slab and beneath any electric radiant floor heating system will allow a greater percentage of the heat generated to transfer to the flooring surface. This results in greater efficiency and therefore faster warm up times, higher expected surface temperatures and lower energy usage. The floor will have the capacity to warm to a comfortable temperature, and in some cases can be employed as the primary heat source for that room.
The recommended types of insulation are natural cork, insulated tile backer boards and insulated underlayment, such as ThermalSheet™ synthetic cork.

The breaker and wire sizes are selected based on the total amperage of the WarmlyYours heating system connected to a single thermostat. This information is on the WarmlyYours heating system's installation plan, electrical plan, or UL label. Based on guidelines from the National Electrical Code: loads up to 16 Amps may utilize 12 gauge wire with a 20-Amp breaker, and loads up to 12 Amps - 14 gauge wire with a 15-Amp breaker. Local code and/or other factors may change these guidelines.

No. Never cut the heating cable. The floor heating cable is designed with a very specific resistance in order to consistently maintain heating at the chosen wattage per square foot. Trimming the heating cable would lower the resistance of the cable causing the system to overheat. Adding heating cable to the system would raise the resistance and the system would not heat properly.

In theory, it is possible, if no other options are available. We do not recommend it, but If the thermostat is controlling the floor temperature with a floor sensor, then it can go on an exterior wall. It is important that the floor sensor gets located in an area of the floor not hit by sunshine.
If the thermostat will be controlling the air temperature with the built-in ambient sensor, then it should go on an interior wall.

WarmlyYours has recently begun including floor sensors with our heating elements to help ensure customers will have everything they need for optimal operation of their radiant heating systems.
The sensor included with your floor heating element can be installed with the heating system (the sensor is equally spaced between runs of the heating wire--see your install manual for more info). Installing this sensor with your floor heating control will enable energy efficient operation of the floor warming system based on the floor temperature instead of the ambient room temperature.
We generally recommend that you install a second, unconnected backup floor sensor alongside the primary one. In the very unlikely event that your first floor sensor is damaged, this install method will save you from having to pry up flooring to replace a floor sensor. You simply disconnect the damaged sensor from the thermostat and connect the backup sensor.
In addition to the floor sensor that was included with your heating element, our nSpiration Series thermostats also come with a floor sensor. If you purchase both a heating element and an nSpiration Series thermostat from WarmlyYours, you'll have a primary and a backup floor sensor for your system.

Make sure any cracks or raised edges are sanded down before installation. Seal and patch cracks where possible. If needed, pour a layer of self-leveling cement to make sure surface is level and flat. Then proceed with instructions to install desired floor heating system and flooring.
It is strongly recommended that an insulating underlayment be installed between the slab and heating element to prevent heat loss.

Yes, we offer several options to help make your floor heating system water resistant or waterproof. Our TempZone product line is designed for wet areas - making it completely safe for rooms that will have water on the floor at times or may experience leaks or flooding. We also offer waterproofing bands for our TempZone Cable + Prodeso Uncoupling Membrane system. Allowing you to waterproof all seams and the perimeters of the wall - guaranteeing that your floor heating system stays safe and prevents water from leaking to areas below.
Never cut, shorten or splice the heating cable itself; cutting it damages the system. Only the non-heating cold lead can be shortened, as your product’s manual allows. Order the size your SmartPlan™ specifies, because unused cable can’t be cut off.
Some mats let you cut the mesh, never the cable, to turn or reposition them: TempZone™ and Environ™ Flex Rolls and Slab Heat mats. TempZone™ Easy Mats and Custom Mats are made to size and must not be shortened or cut. TempZone™ Cable has no mesh: lay all of it at the spacing on your SmartPlan™.
Yes. The finish layer needs to be 1/2" thick. This can be done if the brand of Self-Leveling Cement (SLC) is engineered to be a final flooring surface. Most SLC products aren't designed to be the finish surface.
No separate GFCI breaker is required — every WarmlyYours thermostat has a built-in Class A (5mA) GFCI. Stacking a GFCI breaker on top of it is one of the most common causes of nuisance tripping. Run a dedicated breaker sized to the load at 80% continuous duty: a 15A circuit carries up to 1,440W at 120V, a 20A circuit up to 1,920W. Loads beyond the thermostat’s 15A rating need a power module or relay.
Turn the power (circuit breaker typically) to the thermostat off for 5 minutes and then back on to reset the thermostat.
If there is power to the thermostat and it still doesn't appear to work, then the next step toward a solution is to take Ohm measurements of the floor heating system.
This is done with a digital multi-meter that can select a low 200 Ohm (Ω) scale. To conduct this test, turn off the circuit breaker. Remove the thermostat completely from the wall and disconnect the wires connected to the LOAD connections at the back of the thermostat. Disconnect the ground wires from the house ground, and do the test shown on the links below. If you are uncomfortable doing this test, contact a qualified electrician.
Please follow one of these guides based on the type of heating system installed:
If the system still does not function, contact +1 (800) 875-5285 WarmlyYours Technical Support and provide the Ohm measurements for further assistance.
Single Conductor vs. Twin Conductor Identification
A single conductor floor heating system is a loop of one core wire, it starts at the thermostat and ends at the thermostat - this is the original method of manufacturing heating cable. Most single conductor floor heating systems have the same color cold lead wire connected to both load terminals/pigtails of the thermostat. Some early single conductor floor heating systems were produced with a white and a yellow cold lead wire.
A twin conductor floor heating system terminates two core wires at the end, both wires start at the thermostat - this is the current method of manufacturing heating cable. Most twin conductor floor heating systems will have two different colored cold lead wires, and one of these is black. The other wire in a WarmlyYours floor heating system is either yellow (120V system) or red (240V system). A few early Environ systems had two black cold lead wires.
Note:
- Not all heating cables are wired directly to the thermostat. It may have been necessary during installation to terminate the heating cable in a junction box, and then run a separate (contractor-supplied) wire from the junction box to the thermostat.
- WarmlyYours single conductor cold leads were produced with a 13‘ length at the start of the loop, and a 26‘ length at the end. The 120V floor heating systems had a yellow and a white label attached to the cold leads, and the 240V floor heating systems had a red and a white label attached.
- If you have a single conductor floor heating system and notice that one cold lead is thicker or feels hotter than the other, please contact technical support at +1 (800) 875-5285
One watt equals about 3.412 BTU per hour. TempZone™ Flex Rolls, Easy Mats and Shower Mats, and TempZone™ Cable at 3-inch spacing, deliver 15 watts per square foot: about 51 BTU per hour for every square foot of heated floor. Environ™ delivers 12 watts per square foot, about 41 BTU per hour. For any product, multiply the wattage on its label by 3.412.
Only heated floor counts, and heating can’t run under cabinets or fixtures: 100 square feet of 15-watt heating produces about 5,100 BTU per hour. Compare that with your room’s heat loss.
TempZone™ Flex Rolls, Easy Mats and Shower Mats deliver 15 watts per square foot, and Custom Mats 12 to 15. TempZone™ Cable and Ruler Cable deliver 3.7 watts per linear foot, so their output depends on spacing: about 15 watts per square foot at 3 inches, 11 at 4 and 9 at 5. See TempZone Cable spacing and attachment.
For the same wattage and operating time, 120V and 240V electric floor heating use the same amount of energy and produce the same heat. A 240V system draws less current for the same wattage, which can accommodate a larger heated area on a suitable circuit. Choose the heating product and control voltage to match the supply, and have an electrician verify circuit capacity, wiring, and applicable code.
Trapped heat: a heavy or rubber-backed rug or furniture over the sensor makes it read high. Move the item.
Two sensors connected: disconnect the extra sensor and leave one pair of wires on terminals C+D.
Changed calibration: this setting should never be changed. Do a factory reset (Installer and User resets).
Older system: some older systems, especially those with an OJ Dual/Energystat thermostat, used 12kΩ sensors. Change the installer setting from the default 10kΩ to 12kΩ.
An uncoupling membrane like Prodeso provides a flexible layer between your subfloor and tile, preventing cracks caused by natural floor movement. It also offers waterproofing and vapor management, making it ideal for bathrooms. Plus, the membrane’s studs make cable installation fast and consistent without the need for staples or glue.
Resistance below this value may result in no heating or cold spots in the floor. This may be caused by exposure to moisture or other conductive material that penetrates the core insulation.
That is the sound the thermostat makes when the relay is either opened or closed to turn on or off the power to the floor heating elements. See this article for further information.
Pricing for TempZone Cable heating product typically starts at $6 per sq. ft. ($7 CAD) when installed with Fixing Strips and $9 per sq. ft. ($11 CAD) when installed with our Prodeso Cable Installation Membrane.
In TempZone™ Flex Rolls, Easy Mats and Shower Mats, the heating cable is fixed 3 inches apart. Custom Mats follow each design. TempZone™ Cable and Ruler Cable are spaced as you install them: 3, 4 or 5 inches on GripStrips™, or set by the membrane, and never closer than 3 inches. See TempZone Cable spacing and attachment.
WarmlyYours controllers incorporate built-in Class A GFCI protection for all new floor heating systems. Class A GFCI provides personnel protection and trips when ground fault current exceeds 5 mA (milliamps). Class B GFCI protection is pretty much obsolete, but older systems may still require it. WarmlyYours controllers with built-in Class B GFCI provide equipment and circuit protection and operates when a fault to ground exceeds 15 mA.
The amount of amperage draw depends upon how large the area is that you are heating. For coverage of areas less than 30 square feet, a 120V TempZone system will draw less than 4 amps. If you have a larger area over 240 square feet of heated space, then you will need a larger breaker plus additional controls. No matter what the size of the area you choose to heat, we recommend a dedicated circuit for your electric radiant floor heating system.
For systems below 12 Amps, a 15 Amp, Non-GFI breaker is fine. For systems 12 to 16 Amps, a 20 Amp, non-GFI breaker is needed. Breaker sizes are noted on the installation plan that ships with many orders.
Keep the power lead factory splice and the cable end seal outside the shower area and at least 1 ft. away from shower openings or other spots normally exposed to water. The control must be located at least 4 ft. from shower openings, where it cannot be exposed to water or touched by someone in the shower.
Temperature affects core resistance - lower temperatures decrease resistance and higher temperatures increase resistance. Another consideration is the test equipment, sometimes switching test units, adjusting the calibration, or allowing for the verified differential may be necessary.
More output lets the floor make up more of a room’s heat loss. TempZone™ Flex Rolls, Easy Mats and Shower Mats, and TempZone™ Cable at 3-inch spacing, deliver 15 watts per square foot: up to 25% more heating power than the nearest competitor’s systems, and enough for primary or supplemental heat. Cable at 4-inch spacing, about 11 watts per square foot, is for supplemental heat only.
Whether floor heating can be a room’s only heat source depends on that room’s heat loss. An uninsulated concrete slab, for example, absorbs part of the heat, so insulating over it helps. WarmlyYours can calculate your room’s heat loss before you decide.
A floor sensor measures floor temperature so a compatible thermostat can regulate comfort and enforce the flooring manufacturer’s temperature limit. Some thermostats, including nTrust 2.0, offer a regulator mode without a sensor, but that mode does not measure floor temperature. Use sensor-based temperature control whenever required by the flooring or heating-system instructions.
