Project Information
The homeowner in Pennington, NJ, faced a common issue: a smaller, frequently used room with nailed hardwood floors that remained uncomfortably cool, especially during the colder months. Traditional forced-air heating often struggled to keep the floor surface warm, diminishing the room's appeal and comfort. The challenge was to integrate a reliable heating system that would work seamlessly under the finished flooring without significant renovation or adding bulky equipment.
The solution was the WarmlyYours TempZone™ Cable system. The custom-designed 120V cable provided 75 sq. ft. of targeted radiant floor warming. The cable system was laid out with a precise 3.0-inch spacing to ensure even heat distribution across the entire surface. This system, paired with an Integration Relay Kit, provides efficient control over the high amperage needed to heat the room. The installation process was straightforward for the installer, allowing the heating element to be secured and the hardwood flooring to be laid on top. The outcome is a warm, comfortable room where the temperature is consistent and the floor is invitingly warm to the touch. This upgrade dramatically increased the room's comfort level and added tangible value through energy efficient heating.
Featured Products
TempZone™ Floor Heating Cable
The core of this radiant floor heating project is the TempZone™ Floor Heating Cable. This highly flexible, robust heating cable is ideal for custom-shaped rooms and installations beneath various flooring types, including the nailed hardwood floors used here. It delivers even, consistent heat from the floor up, is low-profile, and is designed for maximum energy efficiency and long-term reliability.
Integration Relay Kit
Given the system's amperage (9 A), an Integration Relay Kit was included. This device allows a single thermostat to safely and effectively control a heating system that exceeds its built-in capacity. It ensures proper current handling, allowing for a reliable and high-performance heated floor system.
Circuit Check
The Circuit Check is an essential tool included with every WarmlyYours system. This monitor is used during and immediately after installation to ensure the heating cable's electrical resistance remains within acceptable limits. It provides constant monitoring to alert the installer to any potential damage to the cable before the flooring is installed, guaranteeing the integrity and longevity of your new TempZone Cable system
