One word describes heated floors: friendly. When you just step out of the shower or climb out of bed, electric floor heat offers your bare feet a toasty welcome. Floor heat warms you silently, invisibly, and relatively economically.
Unlike forced-air heating, electric floor heating doesn’t stir up dust or allergens and it cuts down on heat loss through infiltration. A forced-air heating system pulls air out of rooms, and, after heating it, blows it back into the rooms. It’s obvious that this is how it pressurizes a house, pushing warm air out through cracks and openings. Because a home heated solely by floor heat isn’t under pressure, the room air - and heat itself - stays inside.
Because of the way electric floor heat works, you just don’t need to be concerned about warm air escaping when you open a door. You will still feel a draft, but a room heated radiantly recovers quickly. Floor heat warms your body and other objects rather than just the room’s air. So you can keep the thermostat turned two to three degrees lower than normal without losing your comfort. It’s just like standing in the warm sun on a cold day. And everything is in your own house. Heated floors are that pleasant and that simple.
