How
Does Electric Radiant Heat Work?
 |
A
thin electric mat installed in thinset cement, controlled by
a timer-thermostat will cost $500-to-$600 for an average size
bathroom and it will operate on less than 10 cents a day of
electricity. Conceptually, these products are very similar to
electric blankets. They are made of a heat resistance wire that
serpentines over a supporting material. They are safe, relatively
easy to install, and extremely energy efficient. |
|
If
you are remodeling 1 to 5 rooms, electric floor heating is
the right solution. It is a lot less expensive than hydronic,
and also a lot easier to install (a Do-It-Yourselfer can install
the system).
Is
Electric Radiant Heat Efficient? |
|
|
| The
radiant heating system will work at full capacity for the first
hour to reach the desired floor temperature. After that, it
will work about 33% of the time. Based on your cost of electricity,
the room's square footage, and how many hours you would like
to warm the floor, it is easy to work out a reliable estimate
of your radiant heat system's operating costs (Use the calculator
on the right to find out your operating costs). |
Maintenance
No maintenance is required. There's no boiler or water to change.
