Why electric floor heating systems?

While remodeling or building your home, consider putting in floor heating systems. There's nothing better on cold winter days than having toasty toes, but radiant heat also offers so many other benefits!

Energy Efficient & Low Running Costs

Since electric floor heating systems use a lower temperature than standard radiators or baseboards, heating costs are reduced. Because the heat source is spread throughout the floor, it is more evenly distributed and heated floors provide significantly higher levels of comfort. Warmup electric floor heating systems have a low upfront installation cost and zero maintenance requirements. Why heat the entire house when everyone is in the kitchen? With a smart Warmup design, you can lower your furnace thermostat by as much as 3°F to 5°F degrees.

Comfort & Warm Floors

Warmup heats the whole room, from the floor up. This gives you the luxurious comfort of warm floors, and the benefit of an invisible, inaudible and maintenance-free heating system. Because Warmup systems can be zoned room by room, everyone in the house can set their own levels of comfort, from the basement to the bedroom.

Tailored Temperature Control

2 years ago, we designed our own thermostat: the 4iE Smart WiFi Thermostat. Now part of a complete range of proprietary controls, the 4iE is the only device specifically made to run and monitor electric floor heating systems. It is 10 times more accurate than its peers and has been designed to fit in the 21st century home. Check out the 4iE Smart WiFi Thermostat for heated floors, towel warmers and much more! The Warmup® 4iE Smart WiFi thermostat that you know and love is now compatible with Amazon Alexa in North America.

Design Freedom

There are no heat vents, no ducts, no pipes, no mechanical room. Our systems give you complete freedom of design when remodeling and building your home. By zoning the Warmup systems in various parts of the house, you can select specific and accurate levels of comfort where and when you need it.

Reduced Dust Circulation and Increased Safety

The radiant heat produced by the system reduces humidity and air circulation, meaning that there are fewer dust mites and allergens in the indoor air. There are also no hot low-level surfaces or hard metal edges, as with radiators, making the system child-friendly.

Installation

Installing underfloor heating in a bathroom is far quicker than installing conventional heating systems such as radiators; the wire can be laid directly below the floor finish. Apart from a qualified electrician, no numerous tradespeople such as plumbers are required to finish work first before you can complete the installation of the heater. Underfloor heating can be installed effortlessly prior to the floor finish being laid.

Cost

The cost of installing electric underfloor heating in a bathroom is generally cheaper than more traditional forms of heating. Floor heaters are also much more energy-efficient than central-heating systems, running at lower temperatures whilst distributing the same level of warmth throughout the room. When using a Warmup system in your bathroom with one of our Smart Thermostats you can also expect to make big savings on your heating bills.
