Cheat Sheet for Floor Heat Under Carpet

Taking the main factors into consideration when planning a heated carpet floor.

CONSIDERATIONS FOR HEATED CARPET FLOORS

Do you live in a cold place and are looking for ways to warm your home? Choosing the best floor heating system is the way to go. If you have already heated your home and are looking to carpet the floors, you will need to check which carpet is compatible with your heating systems. Here are key notes you need to know when you heat carpeted floors.

Choose Electric

There are many reasons why people prefer electric radiant heat compared to hydronic heat. With electronic radiant heat, installing, maintaining, and repairing is very easy, and the support is readily available.

When you use a hydronic heating system, it will be a lot of work to install, maintain and repair it. In case of a water leak, you can cause dangerous mold and mildew. This can damage your carpet, thus incurring additional charges for purchasing one.

Check On the Thickness of Your Carpet

the main reason you installed a heating system in your home is to keep you warm. It does not make sense when you do the heating and then buy a thick carpet. The essence of a thin carpet is to allow sufficient heat to pass through. When buying rugs for your home, ensure the carpet is compatible with the underfloor heating system of choice.

Never Heat Under Furniture That Sits Directly On the Carpet

Many homesteads have a lot of furniture on the floor or on top of a carpet. When installing your heating system, you need to exclude that area where the table sits.

Order Less Heating System Than More

You now know you cannot cut the heating cable in your heating system with a warm step and ThermoTile. You can cut the fabric surrounding the cord, but with ThermoFloor, you cannot. With ThermoFloor, you cannot reduce the spacing between the cable. When you order heating systems, keep in mind your layout and furnishings.

Add an Extra Temperature Sensor

When installing your heating system, ensure you order an extra temperature sensor. You do so because you need the additional sensor when your original temperature sensor gets spoilt.

If one sensor fails, you can hook the other sensor to the thermostat with its end enclosed in the electrical conduit box. No need to tear open your floor to repair a damaged sensor.
