We've Got Your Back - Back Up Sensor that is!
Why every WarmlyYours system includes backup sensors
Ever wondered why the best radiant heating systems come with backup components? The secret to avoiding installation delays and ensuring reliable comfort often comes down to one critical detail: having the right sensor when you need it.
This video reveals a smart design feature that sets WarmlyYours apart after 26 years in the radiant heating industry. Every WarmlyYours floor heating system includes two temperature sensors: one pre-attached to the heating element and another that comes with your thermostat. This dual-sensor approach eliminates one of the most common installation headaches contractors face.
Temperature sensors are the control center of your radiant floor heating system. They monitor floor temperature and tell the system exactly when to heat and when to rest, maintaining perfect comfort while maximizing energy efficiency. But here's the problem WarmlyYours solved: installers would arrive ready to work, only to discover the thermostat hadn't been installed yet, leaving them without a sensor to complete the job. The result? Costly callbacks, project delays, and frustrated homeowners waiting for warmth.
Here's what makes the WarmlyYours dual-sensor system so effective:
- ✅ Two sensors included with every system for complete peace of mind
- 🔥 One sensor pre-attached to heating element for immediate installation
- 💡 Backup sensor with thermostat prevents delays and callbacks
- ⚡ Precise temperature control maintains optimal floor comfort
- 🏠 Eliminates confusion and keeps your project on schedule
This thoughtful approach reflects WarmlyYours' commitment to making professional-grade radiant floor heating accessible and hassle-free. With backup sensors included, you get reliable comfort, seamless installation, and the confidence that comes from 26 years of heating expertise.
Transcript
We've got your back. Backup sensor, that is. Every WarmlyYours floor heating system includes two sensors: one that comes with the floor heating thermostat and another that's already attached to the heating element. Why both? Because these sensors control the temperature of your floor.
They tell the system when to heat and when to rest, keeping things just right. And after 26 years in business, we've seen this one a lot: the installer shows up, but the thermostat hasn't been installed yet, which means no sensor. That's why we include one with the thermostat and pre-attach the other just in case. Less confusion, fewer callbacks, more comfort.
At WarmlyYours, we've got your back and your floor.
On vous couvre. Le capteur de secours, en fait. Chaque système de chauffage de plancher WarmlyYours comprend deux capteurs : un qui vient avec le thermostat de chauffage de plancher et un autre qui est déjà fixé à l'élément chauffant. Pourquoi les deux? Parce que ces capteurs contrôlent la température de votre plancher.
Ils indiquent au système quand chauffer et quand se reposer, gardant les choses parfaites. Et après 26 ans en affaires, on a vu ça souvent : l'installateur se présente, mais le thermostat n'a pas encore été installé, ce qui veut dire pas de capteur. C'est pourquoi on en inclut un avec le thermostat et on préattache l'autre au cas où. Moins de confusion, moins de rappels, plus de confort.
Chez WarmlyYours, on vous couvre, vous et votre plancher.
Te respaldamos. Sensor de respaldo, para ser exactos. Cada sistema de calefacción de piso WarmlyYours incluye dos sensores: uno que viene con el termostato de calefacción de piso y otro que ya está conectado al elemento calefactor. ¿Por qué ambos? Porque estos sensores controlan la temperatura de tu piso.
Le indican al sistema cuándo calentar y cuándo descansar, manteniendo todo en su punto. Y después de 26 años en el negocio, hemos visto esto muchas veces: llega el instalador, pero el termostato aún no se ha instalado, lo que significa que no hay sensor. Por eso incluimos uno con el termostato y preconectamos el otro por si acaso. Menos confusión, menos llamadas de seguimiento, más comodidad.
En WarmlyYours, te respaldamos a ti y a tu piso.
Mamy cię na oku. A dokładniej – czujnik zapasowy. Każdy system ogrzewania podłogowego WarmlyYours zawiera dwa czujniki: jeden dostarczany z termostatem ogrzewania podłogowego i drugi już przymocowany do elementu grzejnego. Po co oba? Ponieważ te czujniki kontrolują temperaturę Twojej podłogi.
Informują system, kiedy ma grzać, a kiedy odpoczywać, utrzymując wszystko w idealnym stanie. A po 26 latach działalności widzieliśmy to wiele razy: instalator się pojawia, ale termostat jeszcze nie został zamontowany, co oznacza brak czujnika. Dlatego dołączamy jeden do termostatu i z góry przymocowujemy drugi na wszelki wypadek. Mniej zamieszania, mniej ponownych wizyt, więcej komfortu.
W WarmlyYours mamy cię na oku – i Twoją podłogę.

WarmlyYours has recently begun including floor sensors with our heating elements to help ensure customers will have everything they need for optimal operation of their radiant heating systems.
The sensor included with your floor heating element can be installed with the heating system (the sensor is equally spaced between runs of the heating wire--see your install manual for more info). Installing this sensor with your floor heating control will enable energy efficient operation of the floor warming system based on the floor temperature instead of the ambient room temperature.
We generally recommend that you install a second, unconnected backup floor sensor alongside the primary one. In the very unlikely event that your first floor sensor is damaged, this install method will save you from having to pry up flooring to replace a floor sensor. You simply disconnect the damaged sensor from the thermostat and connect the backup sensor.
In addition to the floor sensor that was included with your heating element, our nSpiration Series thermostats also come with a floor sensor. If you purchase both a heating element and an nSpiration Series thermostat from WarmlyYours, you'll have a primary and a backup floor sensor for your system.
A floor sensor measures floor temperature so a compatible thermostat can regulate comfort and enforce the flooring manufacturer’s temperature limit. Some thermostats, including nTrust 2.0, offer a regulator mode without a sensor, but that mode does not measure floor temperature. Use sensor-based temperature control whenever required by the flooring or heating-system instructions.
Yes. Because replacing a sensor under a finished shower floor or bench is difficult, our shower heating kits include a built-in backup floor sensor. If the primary sensor ever fails, you can simply connect the backup sensor to your thermostat without having to remove any tile.
Error code “E2” means the floor sensor is defective, damaged or not connected. Check the connections, and replace the sensor if needed. Test the sensor with a digital multimeter on the 20k scale. Because the sensor is a thermistor, its resistance changes with temperature: it typically reads about 8kΩ–15kΩ at normal room temperature, lower when warm and higher when cold. A reading of 0 ohms or OL (open line) indicates a failed sensor. Only one floor sensor can be connected to a thermostat.
