Radiant Floor Heating

As the cooler fall and winter seasons approach, our floors can suddenly seem uncomfortably cold.  It is the time of year you think about putting socks or slippers on before stepping into the kitchen for breakfast. If you or your family can't play or walk on certain floors because it feels too cold, there is an easy way to heat up those cold tiles, stone, or wood surfaces. Installing a Radiant Electric Floor Heating System will make the floors warm and comfortable. You’ll be amazed at how good it feels and how comfortable your room will become.

 

Kruse Home Improvement has installed Nuheat Floor Heating Systems for some of our customers. Nuheat provides soothing warmth to various types of flooring surfaces including tile, stone, granite, laminate and engineered wood.  It is a clean, soundless system that brings warmth to any space by providing radiant zone heating which is very energy efficient. Traditionally, electric baseboard heaters are installed according to the rule of thumb that each room should be heated by 34 BTU (British Thermal Units) per square foot (given average insulation). Nuheat produces over 41 BTU per square foot.  Zone heating using a programmable thermostat, means heating room by room, use by use - heat only where you want, when you want it.

 

Electric radiant heat allows homeowners to lower their central heating system while still being comfortable. It offers an energy saving alternative to keeping the forced air heating system running throughout the entire house and can help reduce a home's overall energy consumption. Nuheat has no moving parts so it is installed in thinset/mortar. It is 100% maintenance free and will last the lifetime of your floors.
