I've never lived in a house with heated floors but I bet it feels awesome in the winter. Nice work!
Oh it does. Still waiting for the first electric bill though.
@@handydadtv how much did bill go up?

Time for you to put out your 2021 lawn care calendar! Thanks
LOL!! A little early for that.
Thanks for the discount tip.
My pleasure
Sorry for my ignorance, sir but in the downstairs when you put the toilet in what was that gasket looks different than anything I’ve seen. Thank you for all the great videos. I really enjoyed the series.
It’s a waxless gasket: a.co/d/0qO4DD6?tag=ha0d9f-20
What is the brand of heating mat
Read the video description
Great job
Thanks 😊
8:30 Please use Wago style connectors in the future.
👍🏻
Thank you for the videos, the info was very helpful. I hadn't seen a system before where you didn't have to do self leveling concrete.
How is it working 3 years later?
Working great and they LOVE it. Such a great solution for a finished basement.
great content thank you!
Thanks 😊 I hope you’re enjoying the series.
Great video. I’m was thinking of installing electric radiant wiring under luxury vinyl planking in my basement after watching your video. After shopping around I noticed that the LVP manufacturers I was considering only warranty hydronic heating systems. Has your LVP been affected in anyway after 3 years of use with electric floor system?
No, the Mannington floor was not affected at all. These thermostats have a max temperature setting so you can ensure the mats don’t get too hot for your flooring.
I don’t know why they specify hydronic instead of a max temperature. Heat is heat.
I suggest you talk to Thermosoft. They may be able to steer you away from brands that are known to have issues.
Thank you for your answer.
Great video ! Nice job ! Сould you share please, how much more your electricity consumption has increased? Thank you.

can you do an update on cost of power usage please thanks

This is a great video and I am following it step by step to do the same in my house. I noticed that you put the vinyl and baseboard down before you wired and tested the circuits. Would you recommend testing the circuits and tstat control first, before putting the vinyl floor down? Thanks!
Using the meter on each mat ensures they aren’t damage and will work when connected. I was extremely careful when installing the baseboards so I was confident everything would be fine.
Nice video.
Thanks
Curious are / were you an electrician by trade? You seem very knowledgeable when it comes to electrical work. Another nice project done to the house with added long term value 👍
No, I’m not an electrician but I’ve owned a few old houses and I’ve done a lot of electrical work. I learned it from my dad, but he wasn’t an electrician either.
What is the consumption of electricity per month for heating?

@@handydadtv Thank you very much, it is very helpful 👍
Quick question l: what did you do with the ground wire coming from the panel? Did you just tuck it back in the box since there is no way to terminate it on the thermostat?
Yes. The ground isn’t used.
Nice job. That thermostat is the same as what Schluter uses. Does the loud click get annoying? I wish I'd known how loud it is. Would have hidden the thermostat in a cabinet or something.
I can see how it might be annoying if you’re trying to sleep.
@@handydadtv yeah. My advice to anyone installing one of these is to hide it in a closet or cabinet because the CLICK is very loud. In reality you will set the schedule and not mess with it that often. It doesn't get used like a light switch and doesn't need to be as accessible.
Good tip
Nice work, I wish I had the skills like you. I live in NJ, do you know or recommend any installer who can install this for me?
No sorry. I don’t.
@@handydadtv No worries, thank you.
But what’s your monthly electric bill with this
HOW MUCH DOES IT COST TO RUN RADIANT UNDERFLOOR HEATING? handydad.tv/cost-of-radiant-underfloor-heating
I am looking at doing to the same thing for our kitchen. How warm does the floor actually feel and is that the only heat source for that area?
If it feels warm, you have it up too high. It should just be comfortable for bare feet.
Lets us know how much it cost for electric. This is important to me. I like to do this if monthly costs are good.
homeguides.sfgate.com/cost-run-electric-heater-per-hour-60806.html This explains how to estimate it.
Will the steps going up be warm enough without any mats?
They aren’t on concrete so they’re just like the rest of the floors in the house.
Is there any option to use a smart thermostat?
These thermostats are WiFi connected and remotely accessible and programmable, but they’re not on the same level as Nest or ecobee. But they don’t need to be because a radiant floor is slow to heat up but stays warm longer. Very different than forced air.
Why are the heating mats so much???there’s not much to them, a fiber mat with a cord running through them it’s crazy expensive I need 500sf and 36sf is $400
It’s around $10/sf for underfloor heating. You could replace 5 furnaces or 3 boilers in your lifetime but underfloor heating only needs to be installed once. It’s a great value long term.
You don’t need mortar or thinset on top of heating mat?
Nope. So simple and works great.
What was the approximate cost for all the heat pads and the three thermostats that you used in this project?
These mats cost around $11 per square foot. But you obviously don’t need to heat EVERY square foot of floor space so it’s important for you to create a custom plan. Thermosoft can help you do that. Link in description.
This episode was sponsored, so he got the materials for free. Not hating on the guy, just connecting the dots for you, based on the disclaimer at the beginning of the video.
What was the difference on the electric bill? Have they paid attention to the average runtime per day?
