It doesn’t make noise or stir up dust… Since the heat stays where you want it, I am able to lower the control unit a few degrees.
When I moved into my current apartment in Birmingham, AL I decided that I wanted to do some major renovations; I decided on redoing the flooring. I didn’t want that gross brown rug anymore, but instead to replace to gray tile. I ripped up all the rugs, that gross padding, and then laid down a brick board, but thankfully my sister mentioned heated flooring when I was in the process. I was ready to set up the radiant floors, but all I needed was the electric heated mats to go over the brick board and to put the tile on top of that; My boiler is then sealed in and protected. For about 15 years it would be safe and labor fine; By then things start to wear out. That is fantastic though, that is easily when I would want to redo the flooring anyway. I am really blissful that I made the splurge and hired a Birmingham, AL HVAC dealer to do the heated flooring upgrade. I got to take a moment and relax during my project. The heated mats are now in every room of the apartment and the tile was laid over top once they finished! Having the boiler at my feet is amazing. The heated air doesn’t rise. It doesn’t make noise or stir up dust… Since the heat stays where you want it, I am able to lower the control unit a few degrees. This results in immense energy savings. I love the boiler I have now. It was a worthy investment.
