If you have hardwood or laminate floors in your home, then you likely know that they can get quite cold during the winter months. When your floors are installed, a heating cable can be placed under the surface. Once the cable is on, you’ll soon notice a difference in how the floor feels along with a few other benefits.
Saving Energy
An advantage that you’ll see from a tile floor heating cable on your electric bill is that you likely won’t need to pay as much each month. As the cable heats up and warms the floor, the heat radiates throughout the room as well. This means that you might not need to use your heating system as often, saving you money.
Ease of Running
A floor heating cable usually requires little to no effort to maintain. If the cable is properly connected and there are no obstructions, then you usually won’t have an issue with the heat source. Before your floors are installed, the cables can be placed in areas where the floor stays the coldest or only in rooms of your home where the floor is a hard surface instead of carpet.
Safe Heat
Instead of using a fireplace or a gas heat source, cable heating is a safe option. You won’t touch the cables that are under the floors, and the cables are often protected by materials that are flame-resistant if the cables get too hot. Most cables have a thermostat that can be used with them as well, allowing you to set them to the temperature that you desire so that they turn off.
