Pittsburgh Floor Heating Systems
The Appeal of Radiant Heat
Radiant heated floors are becoming more commonplace in new home construction, not only in the Pittsburgh area, but throughout the country. The efficiency and uniquely comfortable warmth provided by these systems has proven radiant heat to be the future heating choice for consumers across Northern America and Europe. Consumers are taking advantage of radiant heat technology for both interior heating needs and automated snow melting.
Radiant heated floors are commonly installed in kitchens, bathrooms, and bedrooms, but can also be installed to provide luxurious warmth for any room or area in the house. The systems consist of a heating element, an in-floor or ambient temperature sensor, and a thermostat (activation device). The systems can be easily customized, and are designed to be installed under virtually all types of flooring.
Warmzone® offers one of the largest selections of floor heating systems available. Products range from the popular ComfortTile® heat cable to a variety of innovative floor heating panels. Regardless of whether you're looking to heat tile, hardwood, laminate, or even carpeted floors, you're sure to find the ideal system for your heating needs at Warmzone.
As a trusted, leading provider of proven radiant heat solutions, Warmzone also provides unparalleled support services, including free installation training for its customers. Installers can take the course in person at our headquarters, or they can complete the training online via video conference. Your instructor is a highly trained, seasoned professional who will cover every aspect of your installation. The training course is typically completed in less than an hour, but you can proceed at your own pace and ask questions at any time. The training has proven to be invaluable for installers, and ultimately saves time and money in the long run. Warmzone's customer services also include technical support for installers during the installation.
Another valuable service offered by Warmzone is its custom system design/layout. These detailed AutoCAD® system designs show the precise layout of the heating elements and system components, as well as all the electrical information for the electrician who is wiring the system. Having this "road map" helps to eliminate or minimize issues that installers may otherwise encounter during the installation.
Features and Benefits of Radiant Heated Floors
Comfort: Radiant heat’s most attractive feature is its comfort. One must experience the luxurious warmth of radiant heat to fully appreciate the difference when compared to traditional heating systems. The heat is distributed evenly across the room and warms from the floor up. These systems provide an especially comfortable environment for small children who spend much of their time playing on the floor.
Clean Living: With the emphasis nowadays on clean, renewable energy, radiant heat is a particularly smart, and increasingly popular option. Radiant heating systems can provide a much cleaner living environment when compared to traditional heating systems. Forced-air systems tend to dry out the air. And because a blower distributes heated air through a series of ductwork and vents, blowers also circulate dust and allergens throughout the house. However, radiant heat silently — and efficiently — delivers comfortable warmth, without kicking up dust and allergens in the home.
Maintenance Free: Electric radiant heat systems have no moving parts, so they are reliable and maintenance free. There's no need for regular maintenance or changing of filters.
Safe: Warmzone electric floor heating products are proven systems. The most popular floor heating solution, ComfortTile, features thin, UL/CSA approved cable with ground fault (GFCI) protection, and emits no measurable electromagnetic fields (EMF). Another popular system, FilmHeat™, features a heating element that is thinner than a credit card (0.016-inch), which can be safely installed under floating floors.
Energy Efficient: Radiant floor heating is the most efficient means of heating today. There is virtually no wasted energy as over 99 percent of energy is translated into heat. Programmable thermostats are also available from Warmzone, allowing users to program the heating system according to their schedule. Each room (or zone) is controlled by its own thermostat, giving homeowners precise control for heating their homes. This further enhances the efficiency of radiant heat.
Easy to Customize: Radiant heated floor systems can be easily customized to meet your specific room size, shape, heating needs, and budget. Warmzone custom designs each system so installers know the exact layout, as well as all the electrical information. Radiant heat can be used as your primary heating source, or it can be installed in your most popular rooms to complement your existing heating system.
Easy Installation: Radiant floor heating systems are not difficult to install. However, to help ensure that the system is installed correctly, Warmzone provides professional system designs, as well as free installation training and support. Much of the initial installation can be done by any DIY homeowner; however, for warranty purposes it is important to have a licensed electrician connect the system to the power supply.
Warmzone offers a wide range of radiant floor heating systems, and each system can be tailored specifically for your home. Whether you’re looking to complement your existing heating system by adding more comfort to certain rooms, or wanting to install radiant heat throughout the home, Warmzone has the solution that will be best for your needs. Our vast product line and expertise will help to assure you of finding the heating system that is the most efficient and effective for you.
