Giving heated flooring a try

Earlier today I had the heating and AC technician come out to my home. When he came out I was expecting it to just be one heating and AC worker but there was actually a team of four different HVAC technicians that came to my house! This surprised me because I wasn’t sure why they would need so many people but then I remembered what I had them coming over here for, I had recently purchased a brand new heated flooring system. I live in a very cold climate and because of this I want to have as much heat in my home as possible. I already have an electric fireplace, and an amazing space heater that always does a very good job of keeping me warm throughout the coldest of winters. But even though these devices do an excellent job of heating the air, what they don’t do is heat the floors and that is what I need a radiant heated flooring heating system for. The radiant heated flooring works like this, there is a heating element that is installed by the heating and AC technicians underneath the floorboards. Then the floorboards are put back in place. The heating element is super super thin and you can hardly notice that it was ever placed underneath the floorboards to begin with. The installation didn’t take nearly as long as I thought, with four heating and AC workers going at it and installing this radiant heated flooring system they were done in only a half an hour. I couldn’t believe how fast it was and then I was able to turn on the heated floors and see how it worked. My feet felt warm and toasty from the warm floor beneath them.
