The benefits of having a comfortable home in winter

There are many reasons to choose a heated floor for your home. Stepping off a warm floor is like stepping out of a comforting bath. You’ll quickly realize that you can’t live without a heated floor and want heated floors everywhere!

Those who’ve never experienced floor heating see it as the ultimate in cozy comfort. But for those who have, floor heating isn’t a whim but a sensible choice.

A logical and ecological solution

Experts recommend avoiding frequent moves to improve our environmental footprint. Choosing to renovate is a planet-friendly option, and installing floor heating is a particularly worthwhile solution. No matter what kind of floor surface you choose – wood, ceramic or others – floor heating is easy to install. It not only brings comfort to your home, but it also increases the value of your property.

Thanks to floor heating, you can experience evenly distributed warmth everywhere. A traditional heating system radiates heat locally only. On the other hand, floor heating provides uniform comfort throughout the room; the heat emitted by floor heating is distributed evenly… without any loss of benefit. Who doesn’t appreciate the comfort of a cozy home? You can reduce energy consumption by slightly lowering other heating sources and adjusting thermostat settings. And there’s the bonus of easy maintenance, as wet floors will dry in minutes.

Some of the benefits to consider are superior thermal comfort, a stable heat source and warm feet. As an integrated, invisible source of heat, floor heating allows you to arrange your furniture without space constraints. What’s more, it reduces the amount of dust circulating in a room, cutting down on potential sources of allergens, and eliminates the noise emitted by traditional systems. All the qualities of a floor heating system enhance the quality of the ambient air you breathe and your quality of life without electromagnetic radiation!

Another way of calculating economic benefits

Over the long term, floor heating will save you money on your annual electricity bill. This perk will further convince those who are already ecologically aware.

Trends are showing that people are increasingly investing in a high-quality heating system to reap the benefits of an efficient floor that consumes less energy. With Stelpro’s resources, including FLEXperts, FLEXboutiks and the Flexplanner, you’ll have everything you need to calculate the cost of the material and installation.

According to ASHRAE studies, you could save up to 28% in heating costs. Keep in mind that these statistics can vary depending on your thermostat settings, the insulation in your home, your heating equipment and the surface area covered by your floor heating system. Floor heating is a wise choice. Solariums and rooms with large windows have high energy requirements. Adding floor heating can improve the comfort of these spaces by providing gentle, comfortable warmth for your feet. However, a supplementary heating system should be considered for the coldest winter months.

It’s not only good for the environment, but also for your wallet! Consider installing floor heating this year. If you want to be comfortable in your home during the colder seasons, floor heating is sure to improve your sense of well-being. Spring may even come too soon for you!
