Redoing the flooring with heated floors
It is cleaner, more efficient & a new way to give heating
My hubby & I are redoing the floors in our house; She has it in her head that all our floors should be the same. She wants the home office, kitchen, hallway & study rooms all to be the same tile, then i am not too satisfied with it. However, I said if all of us rip up all the floors all of us need to do heated flooring, that is the only time this heating plan can be placed down. It makes sense to put it in then, however my hubby is a bit worried since all of us live down south & the Winter time season is short. Why not add a heater? It will add value to our house. Our new Heating & A/C component is 20 years old. When it dies all of us can just focus on air conditioner. I appreciate the idea of the heating plan being beneath our feet too. The radiant furnace is silent in operation. It does not create cold spots either; Since it is electric based rather than air, the heat doesn’t rise & get wasted on the ceiling, and due to this, I could set our beach house thermostat a little lower & save energy. What is especially nice is that heated flooring warms everything that comes into direct contact with it. That means the couch, loveseat & chair will all think as a result. It is cleaner, more efficient & a new way to give heating. The only cons with this plan is that it raises & adds weight to the floors. I am not afraid of that. I think it is worth installing it.
