New York New York Electric Radiant Floor Heating
New York, New York is home to roughly 8,000 residents, and U.S. Floor Heating installs radiant floor heat for homes and businesses throughout the area.
The largest amount of space you can use radiant floor heat in New York with one 120 volt thermostat is about 130 square foot or so. So, in larger rooms, it's sometimes smart to install two separate thermostats because if you're using one area as a living space or hanging out in another for different purposes than the rest of the room, you could operate your electric radiant floor heating in New York zones independently.
Having multiple thermostat zones gives you much more control over the temperature and can save you on operational costs. Everyone's house has different temperature needs room to room with electric radiant floor heating in New York.
Adding extra thermostats does away with the guesswork of air vents that never quite balance a room, putting you fully in control of your own heat adjustment needs.
Say you have a fireplace on one wall and a large sliding door on the other: you can run the floor heat a bit warmer near that colder perimeter and dial it back toward the room's interior, which naturally stays warmer thanks to the fireplace and less exposure to the outside.
Just as temperatures vary throughout your home, your electric radiant floor heating in New York sensors can adjust for that when you install more than one thermostat. And, once you set your thermostat to your liking, it will maintain your chosen comfort zone for you worry free.
Additional thermostat sensor options exist if you're after extra features. We don't stock WiFi-enabled units ourselves, but they are available on the market should you want to upgrade later.
Heavier applications such as snow melting call for higher voltage, programmable thermostats, which we also supply. Give us a call to learn more about these heavy duty options.
QuickMat vs. NetMat: Choosing the Right System
U.S. Floor Heating offers two core electric radiant floor heating products for New York, New York installations. QuickMat is a self-adhesive mat built for use under tile or stone flooring, so it lays flat and stays put during installation. NetMat is designed to be embedded in thin-set or mortar and works well under wood, laminate, or carpet, including installations that need to fit around fixtures or into irregularly shaped rooms.
Installation in New and Existing Spaces
Both systems can go into new construction or a remodel of an existing New York home. For new floors, the mat or cable is laid directly on the subfloor before your finished flooring goes down. For a remodel, we design a custom layout around your room's exact dimensions and any fixed obstacles, like cabinets or a bathtub, so the heating element only covers the floor space you'll actually walk on.
Energy Efficiency
Electric radiant floor heating warms objects and people directly rather than heating the air the way a forced-air furnace does, which means less energy is wasted heating space near the ceiling that nobody uses. Paired with a programmable thermostat, most New York homeowners run their system only in the rooms and hours they need it, keeping operating costs predictable throughout the winter.
