The Escondido Warmth Project Family Room


This project showcases a radiant floor heating system in a 150 sq. ft. family room in Escondido, CA. Using a TempZoneā„¢ Flex Roll and a SmartStat GFCI Thermostat, the system provides 2,294 watts of quiet, comfortable heat.

Operating Cost Per Hour

Cost Per Hour Explanation
The operating cost is an estimated $0.11 per hour when the system is actively running. This is calculated by multiplying the system's power (2,294 watts) by the local electricity rate. The actual cost will be lower because the SmartStat thermostat cycles the system on and off to maintain the temperature, so it's not running continuously.

Featured Products:

  • TempZoneā„¢ Flex Rolls: This is the primary heating element. The rolls are designed for easy and fast installation, allowing the heating cable to be laid out uniformly across the floor with minimal effort. Their flexible mesh backing allows the installer to cut and turn the roll to fit the unique dimensions of the room, ensuring complete coverage and consistent warmth.
  • SmartStat GFCI Thermostat: This is the control center for the system. The thermostat is not just a simple temperature controller; it's a smart device with a programmable schedule to maximize energy savings. It includes a built-in 15mA GFCI (Ground-Fault Circuit Interrupter) for safety, which is a key feature for wet areas like bathrooms or kitchens, and provides an essential layer of protection for any floor heating system. The thermostat also comes with a sensor to accurately measure floor temperature and a circuit check to test the system before the final floor is installed.
  • Electrical Rough-in Kit: This kit is an essential part of the installation process, ensuring the system is wired safely and in compliance with local electrical codes. The kit includes a single-gang box and conduits to protect the wiring for the thermostat and the heating element's cold lead. This ensures a clean, professional, and secure electrical connection.
  • Circuit Check: A small but critical tool, the circuit check is used by the installer to continuously monitor the heating cables for any damage during the installation process. This provides a live alert if the cable is accidentally nicked, preventing a costly re-do and ensuring the system's integrity before it is covered by the flooring.
