Heated Floor Systems for Detroit and the Michigan Area

About Radiant Floor Heating Systems

Electric heated floors efficiently provide rich warmth that spreads evenly throughout the room. A variety of advanced thermostats are available, including smart, fully-programmable thermostats with an integrated Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI Class A) that allow Detroit residents to program the systems according to their schedule. Owners of radiant floor heating systems can program their system to turn on shortly before they get up each morning and then shutoff as they head out to work. The systems can be programmed to activate once again just before they arrive home. The TOUCH and TOUCH Wi-Fi thermostat’s 7-day programmability allows homeowners to program their heating systems to efficiently accommodate their schedule for each day of the week.

Radiant floor heating systems feature a heating element that is installed under the floor’s surface. While the most common heating element is thin heat resistance cable, there are several other options as well. Floor heating elements also include low-voltage polymer panels, near paper-thin film heating panels, rugged In-Slab heat cable that is embedded within the concrete slab, heat cable sandwiched between layers of specially reinforced aluminum foil, and more.

A floor heating system using thin heating panels is also available to heat existing floors. The RetroHeat® system is stapled up between the floor joists and then batt insulation is placed over the element to direct all the heat upward to warm the floor. This makes heated floors a reality for those on limited budgets who don’t want the hassle of major remodeling.

Unlike other radiant heat providers, Warmzone® offers a large, diverse selection of radiant floor heating systems. With each system designed to benefit specific floor types, customers are more apt to be matched with the heating element that is best for their home or business. A Warmzone representative will be happy to explain the options to you and recommend the systems that would be best for your needs.

Being embedded in the floor and radiating heat from the ground up makes radiant heat extremely efficient. Over 99 percent of the energy devoted to the system is converted to heat, making heated floors the most efficient heating system available. Unlike forced-air systems that blow warm air from vents throughout the house, radiant heat emanates from the floor, and each room is controlled by its own thermostat, providing precise control. With forced-air systems, the warm air still escapes from closed vents, creating heat loss that results in inefficiency. Electric floor heating systems operate silently and remain out of sight; and the systems are maintenance free. There’s no need for changing filters and cleaning ductwork.

A popular option among homeowners is that of complementing their traditional home heating system with radiant heat. Many choose to add radiant heat to bathroom floors and/or popular rooms where the kids and family spend most of their time during the winter. Electric systems are particularly easy to customize and well-suited for warming individual rooms or custom shaped areas. Supplementing your heating system is a cost-effective solution for adding luxurious comfort to your home, and a great way to transform your house into a dream home.
