Over the years, many homeowners have been using heated floors as a luxury supplement to traditional heating systems. In some homes, heated floors became a way to ensure a warm shower floor or a warm floor in the morning when getting out of bed. Electric flooring was also popular in children’s rooms, where children might play on the floor. Today, however, powerful Nuheat mats may be powerful enough to act as a primary heating system – if your home meets insulation requirements for your area.
There are many reasons why Nuheat radiant floor heating mats can make a great primary heating system in well-insulated homes:
1) Nuheat mats are uniformly invisible and space-friendly. Nuheat electric flooring allows you to get rid of all those clunky heating systems – the furnace, the radiators, the baseboard heaters, the vents and ducts. You can save the equivalent of an entire room of space in your home by switching to Nuheat electric flooring, which is installed entirely under your floors and therefore takes up no living space at all. As well, Nuheat mats are odor free, noise-free, and maintenance-free as well.
2) Nuheat mats are energy efficient. Nuheat radiant floor heating mats do not use up much energy in use, and can help save you on energy bills and utility bills, when compared with traditional heating systems. In fact, heating most rooms in your home will cost only pennies a day. You can also save money on Nuheat heating systems by zone heating your home. That is, you can use Nuheat electric flooring to turn down the heat in some rooms you don’t use as often while keeping other parts of your home warmer. This helps reduce overall energy use. You can also buy optional programmable thermostats with Nuheat electric floor warming systems, which give you even more control over your energy consumption. The exact cost of your Nuheat in floor heating system will depend on local electricity costs, the size of your living space, and how long you leave your Nuheat radiant heat on.
3) Nuheat in floor heating systems provide more than 41 BTU per square foot, giving you a greater warmth and a higher level of comfort. In contrast, many baseboard heaters only offer 34 BTU per square foot.
4) Nuheat in floor heating systems offer a better quality of heat. Nuheat radiant systems work by directly heating you and other occupants of the room. Research has proven that this form of radiant heat – the same heating you experience on a warm day or with an electric blanket, for example – is naturally more comfortable for the body. With a radiant Nuheat in floor heating system, you can keep the air temperature in your home cooler but still experience a greater level of comfort.
