Turning Your Thermostat Down
Comfort is not just about setting your thermostat higher; it’s about feeling cozier. According to a study by the American Society of Heating, Refrigeration, and Air Conditioning Engineers, radiant heating allows you to be comfortable at temperatures 6-8 degrees Fahrenheit lower than conventional forced-air systems. Thermostat setbacks of just 2-4 degrees can save 10-30% on heating bills. Thus, with in-floor radiant heating systems, people are likely to feel warmer at more economical settings.
Incremental Changes Lead to Big Savings
You can achieve even more savings with energy efficient thermostat settings when you’re snuggled into bed or away from home. Since in-floor radiant systems come to temperature gradually, rather than delivering blasts of heated air, a programmable thermostat is best for achieving these results. Radiant heating systems can be programmed to turn on and off less frequently. Thus, you will save more energy by avoiding cold starts.
Heat Where You Need It
With in-floor radiant heating, you can take full advantage of the savings you gain from turning down your thermostat. Warmth rises naturally from the floor and surrounds you in the lower part of rooms where you and your family live, work, and play. Floors will heat evenly throughout a living space. The temperature in a room will be uniform, with no hot or cold spots. Without blowers or vents, you won’t have to worry about losing heat to drafts. If your home has high ceilings, you’ll save even more because you won’t waste energy heating unused space.
While heated air from a central system blows all over the house, in-floor electric radiant heating can work in zones. Your high-use spaces can be warm while uncommonly occupied areas can be heated only as needed. You’ll find a Wi-Fi-equipped programmable thermostat handy for making these adjustments, particularly if your daily schedule changes.
Safe Comfort
While the energy efficient thermostat settings and savings from radiant heat decrease the drain on your bank account, electric radiant heat can also increase the safety of your home. This is true even if you install your electric radiant heating system beneath wood flooring. WarmStep® by ThermoSoft® is expertly engineered to provide fully controlled warmth beneath both engineered and solid wood flooring.
The unique heating fibers are self-fusing, making it virtually impossible for the wood to overheat. Through the use of a FidBox® with WarmStep®, you can monitor and record both the temperature and moisture of your wood flooring, keeping it well conditioned and beautiful for years to come.
Conclusion
Ultimately, radiant heated floors stand as a practical solution for saving money. Through benefits such as targeted regional heating and consistent, uniform warmth across rooms, these systems offer tangible benefits to your bottom line. In wrapping up this post, let’s appreciate the effectiveness of radiant heated floors in providing comfort without excessive costs.
