This Jefferson, New Jersey basement was always the coldest room in the house, with a forced-air system that just couldn't keep up, especially during winter. The homeowners decided to reclaim the space, installing 117 square feet of electric in-floor heating during their remodel. The new system provides consistent, luxurious warmth, turning an uncomfortable lower level into a truly livable and valuable part of the home.

A New Level of Comfort
For homeowner David Pisano, the basement was a challenge. "Our basement always had a heat source," he explained, "but the way the forced air system was initially installed, it didn’t really push the proper amount of heat needed." The result was a room that was "always cold," requiring several layers just to be in during the winter.
The planned remodel was the perfect opportunity to fix this problem for good. Instead of re-routing ductwork, they opted for the comfort and efficiency of radiant floor heating under new tile flooring. The team chose WarmlyYours TempZone™ Flex Rolls, which are ideal for quickly covering large, open areas like this basement.
"The room needed an overhaul, and the heated floors would be a great way to keep the area warm," David said. The installation proved straightforward, and the impact was immediate. The new in-floor heating system provides silent, even heat from the ground up, eliminating the cold drafts and uncomfortable chill the old system could never solve. "Installation was simple," David noted, "and tech support was on point!"
