What are the advantages of electric floor heating?
Electric heating in Poland is already beginning to be seen as a good way to receive electricity from renewable energy sources. From April 22, 2024, electric floor heating is subject to funding under the "Clean Air" program up to PLN 13,900. This is a good time to carefully analyze the needs of users and select appropriate solutions.
Advantages of electric floor heating:
- A properly installed system is reliable and can be turned on at any time, for example during the colder months outside the heating season.
- Underfloor heating is completely invisible, requires no cleaning or maintenance, and also speeds up the drying of the floor.
- An intelligent controller managed by the application will optimize electricity consumption.
Easy installation and ease of use with the nVent Raychem heating mat
The nVent RAYCHEM QuickNet heating mat is the most universal product from the point of view of the installer and user. It is ideally suited for installation in newly completed apartments and for renovation of ceramic and natural stone floors:
- It doesn't take up any space
Thanks to its small thickness of 3 mm, the mat can be laid in tile adhesive so it does not raise the floor level. It can be added practically at the last moment. - Simple, intuitive assembly
The self-adhesive heating mat is easy to install – just unroll it and place it on the surface to be heated, and it will stick to the substrate weakly enough to be easy to adjust, but strong enough not to move while laying the tiles.
Thanks to the unique, layered construction of the self-adhesive nVent RAYCHEM QuickNet mat, you can easily remove the heating cable to bypass the obstacle (remember not to cut it!) and use the cut-out pieces of the mat to secure the heating cable.
What to remember when installing an electric heating mat?
To fully enjoy the comfort of a warm floor, you need to consider the insulation of the subfloor. If you can't insulate the floor, always choose the nVent RAYCHEM Quicknet mat with a power of 160 W/m². Such a mat will heat up to the required temperature faster. We only use mats with a power of 90 W/m² for well-insulated floors.
Will a more powerful heating mat be more expensive to operate?
No. The nVent RAYCHEM Quicknet mat with a power of 160 W/m² will heat up faster and therefore will work for a relatively shorter time than the mat with a power of 90 W/m². The operating costs will be the same. Therefore, in most cases we recommend mats with a higher heating power. However, insulation will have a significant impact on reducing the energy consumption costs of the system, preventing heat loss down the floor.
Control, i.e. full comfort for the user
Regardless of the type of system, underfloor heating must first and foremost operate only when needed. Residents' plans change dynamically and, consequently, the time spent at home.
With the nVent RAYCHEM SENZ-WIFI thermostat, we can manage the heating system via a smartphone app.
Advantages of the nVent RAYCHEM SENZ-WIFI heating mat thermostat:
- controls up to 32 rooms in one application (e.g. office, home, plot)
- the thermostat will heat the floor at the desired time
- you can block it from children with a code
- thanks to built-in energy-saving algorithms, the thermostat will save up to 25% of energy
- you will gain full control over your electricity consumption
- will detect and turn off the heating if the window is opened and the temperature drops quickly, but will also maintain the lowest set temperature
- fits all popular frames on the market.
Now the nVent RAYCHEM SENZ WIFI thermostat can be controlled by voice – it is compatible with Amazon Alexa® and Google Assistant® smart home systems. The thermostat also has the option of remotely controlling the heating system via the free SENZ-WIFI app for mobile devices.
The SENZ WIFI app can dynamically manage the temperature in all heated rooms, optimizing energy consumption. The intelligent app also allows you to observe the system's operating and performance statistics and, as a result, control energy consumption.
