A Cold Floor Transformed in New Hampshire

The classic New England home in Bedford, NH, was beautiful and cozy, but its large bathroom featuring elegant tile, marble, or stone flooring presented a common challenge: an uncomfortably cold surface, particularly during the region's long winter months. The homeowner recognized that a traditional forced-air system could not solve this floor-specific problem and sought a superior comfort upgrade.

WarmlyYours designed a custom in-floor heating plan utilizing the TempZone Flex Roll system to provide full floor warming coverage across all 72 square feet. This specific system, ideal for installation under hard surfaces like tile, was easily embedded in the thin-set mortar. Once installed, the homeowners immediately experienced the difference. The system transformed the previously chilly space into a warm, inviting retreat, delivering heat directly to the feet for maximum comfort and a true feeling of luxury. The nSpire Touch Thermostat provides easy, programmable control, ensuring the radiant floor heating operates precisely when needed.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does it cost to run heated floors in a bathroom in Bedford, NH?

Running a standard 72 sq. ft. electric floor heating system in a bathroom in Bedford, NH, costs approximately$0.05 per hour, or under $12.00 per month, assuming the local average electricity rate of 32 ¢/kWh. This low cost highlights the system's incredible energy efficiency for targeted floor warming.

Can radiant heating replace the main heating system in this bathroom space?

A: Yes, the TempZone Flex Roll system was designed for "Full Coverage" in this 72 sq. ft. bathroom. While its primary function is luxurious floor warming, a properly installed and sized radiant floor heating system can often serve as the primary heat source for a smaller, well-insulated room like a bathroom, especially when installed under thermally conductive materials like tile.

What type of flooring works best with this TempZone system?

The TempZone Flex Roll is specifically designed for installation under hard-surface flooring materials. In this Bedford, NH project, the system was installed beneath tile, marble, or stone, which are excellent thermal conductors. These materials warm up quickly and retain heat well, making them ideal for use with in-floor heating.

Is electric radiant floor heating an energy efficient heating solution?

A: Absolutely. Electric radiant floor heating is highly energy efficient because it operates on a simple principle: heating people and objects directly, rather than just the air. By warming the floor from the bottom up and utilizing a programmable thermostat, the homeowner can maintain a comfortable temperature while often setting the ambient air thermostat lower, resulting in significant energy savings.
