Project Information
The homeowners of this Minneapolis residence wanted to make their living room a more comfortable space for their family, especially in the cold winter months when the floor was perpetually chilly. The idea of a traditional furnace upgrade was daunting, expensive, and didn't directly address the cold floors. They needed a targeted, efficient, and discreet solution that would work seamlessly with their existing carpeted floor.
After consulting with a local installer, "Comfort Floors of MN," they decided on a WarmlyYours electric radiant floor heating system. The installation was straightforward. The heating cable was laid out on the subfloor, connected to the home's electrical system, and then the new stretch-in carpet was installed over the top. The entire process was non-disruptive and completed in just a couple of days. The result was a dramatic improvement in comfort. The constant, gentle heat radiating from the floor now makes the living room the most popular spot in the house, a perfect place to relax, play, or watch movies, even on the coldest Minnesota day.
