    Heated bathroom floors are like microwave ovens and ice makers...Once you have it, you'll never want to be without it. The heated floor was a game changer when my son and I remodeled the master bath.
    Great video as usual. Thank you!

    Thanks so much for your install video on this system. I’m just about to do this myself. Overall your instructions were more thorough and clear than the manufacturer’s.
    Unfortunately in my case I can’t use Ditra because I have small mosaic tiles, so I’ll run the wire in low profile clips on the plywood subfloor and then pour self leveler. It’s going to be an adventure for sure! Everyone I know who has heated floors says it’s their favorite gadget in their house. Looking forward to it.

    That's SO nice. I wish I had put that system in my bathroom. Just didn't even cross my mind at the time. It's very amazing how that thermal camera picks up the wire zig-zagging under the tile. You keep it good and toasty in there at 25C. Why not if it's just $20/year, that's well worth it, very efficient. Great right now in cold, cold January.

    • @HouseImprovements

      That is the temp. of the floor to the touch but that will not heat the room to that . I guess maybe it would be close if you closed the door all the time and the floor stayed on at that 25C constantly? It sure feels god on the feet in the morning though!

    hi Shannon!
    is your slab insulated and/or thermally broken from your footer? (maybe this is an upstairs bath, so my thoughts don't apply to your bath, but...) the ground wicks away heat quickly, so i'd have concerns this may not be a great/affordable solution for those in a typical slab-on-grade home.

    That costs almost nothing to use. An electric spot heater like that is the way to go. I'd use that in the bathroom even if I had a whole house hydronic system.

    Only 16 cents in Saskatchewan? Sure thats not the pre tax and without delivery amount? We pay about 20 cents on average in Ontario all in and I always thought "up north" the energy prices are higher

    • @HouseImprovements
      @HouseImprovements  4 месяца назад +2

      Our cost in my area of southern Saskatchewan Kwh changes a bit year to year but it is currently .14859 per kwh. And it would be hard to factor in the delivery amount because that is constant each month while your KW/hr used varies so there is no clear conversion to usage fee to KW/hr. Currently my month delivery charge is 29.99 if I use any power or not. Carbon tax and GST could be factored in at about another 2cents so anyways I have my cost set at 16cents from my estimates cost 2 yrs ago.

      No according to the average California costs of KW/hr (23.03cents /kw/hr ) in 2023 I just found on line and using the data I showed in the video it would have been $29.62 per year or $2.47 per month averaged. That is based on my usage and California has much milder winters than Saskatchewan .
