In-floor Heating

The cost of installing in-floor heating depends on the size of the space. Usually, in-floor heating is installed during a bathroom or kitchen renovation. This makes it much easier to install the required technology to facilitate in-floor heating. If you're thinking of installing in-floor heating without a renovation project, the cost could be more expensive. If you're curious about the cost of in-floor heating for your specific space, call a local electrician today.

In-floor heating can be installed with any flooring, however there are some types of flooring that make the installation process easier. For example, tile and stone flooring are ideal for in-floor heating. Tile and stone flooring is usually colder than laminate flooring, so in-floor heating usually fits perfectly with tile and stone flooring. Also, tile and stone flooring have high thermal conductivity which makes the heat transfer quicker and more efficient. It's also true that tile and stone hold heat better than other forms of flooring. Do you have specific questions about the type of floor that works best with in-floor heating? Call us today to speak directly with an Ottawa electrician.

Because of the complexity involved in installing in-floor heating, we do not recommend a DIY project. Whenever there is electricity involved, a certified electrician must always be on site. Electricity is no joke, as the consequences of doing the job incorrectly are detrimental. Instead, be sure to have an electrician install your in-floor heating. Also, we recommend that the electrician you hire has experience with in-floor heating systems.

That is dependent on your individual preferences. In Ottawa, our winters are long and so ceramic and stone tiling can be cold, especially in the morning. Choosing heated floors is a luxury that many cannot live without. Especially if your previous home had heated floors, it's difficult to live without in-floor heating in your bathroom. If you're remodeling your bathroom, considering heated floors is worth it. Firstly, you can save tremendously on the labor costs if the floor is being changed anyway. Secondly, the investment you make will pay off in the long run due to energy efficient heating. To find out if heated floors are worth it, speak directly with a local electrician.
